The fight, held at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Ennis&#8217; hometown, lasted only two minutes, enough time for &#8220;Boots&#8221; to send his opponent to the canvas twice.\n\nFrom the start, Ennis (35-0, 31 KOs) showed his superiority against an opponent who couldn&#8217;t counter the skill of the former interim WBA welterweight champion, known for his versatile fighting style.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I did what I had to do. I&#8217;m here at 154 pounds and I made a statement, so bring me those names.<\/p><cite>Jaron &#8220;Boots&#8221; Ennis<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe confrontation began with an exchange of blows, but Ennis quickly connected a left hook that hit Lima&#8217;s head, followed by a combination that resulted in the first knockdown. Although Lima (14-2, 10 KOs) got up, he was visibly affected. Ennis continued his offensive, delivering a series of blows that forced the referee to stop the fight at minute 1:58.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I sent a big message. They know what it&#8217;s about, and they know who I want.<\/p><cite>Jaron &#8220;Boots&#8221; Ennis<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThis victory sets the stage for an expected showdown between Ennis and the WBC interim champion, Vergil Ortiz, who will face Erickson Lubin on November 8. Although a fight between Ennis and Ortiz was speculated about this year, it did not materialize.\n\nEnnis, after his victory over Lima, who had not faced high-level opponents, expressed his confidence that the fight against Ortiz will materialize in 2026.\n\nIt&#8217;s going to happen next. I know [Ortiz] is focused on his fight. I want Vergil Ortiz next, but if he doesn&#8217;t want it, I&#8217;d fight [Jermell] Charlo, [Sebastian] Fundora, or Xander [Zayas]. Anyone can face me.
