Jaron Ennis, Uisma Lima make weight in Philly

Ennis, 34-0 (30 KOs), looked cool and relaxed on stage, flashing a grin before stepping on the scale for the ceremonial weigh-in, where his official weight of 153.4lbs was announced. The 14-1 (10 KOs) Lima, a 32-year-old born in Angola and living in Portugal, cut a confident figure at the weigh-in as his official weight of 153lbs was announced. “Maybe knockout,” Lima said, when asked about his prediction for the fight. Ennis’ junior middleweight stint comes after a successful yet unsatisfying campaign at welterweight during which he unified two titles and earned the lineal crown but was unable to secure a super-fight. “I feel great. I’m ready to show out and shine, man,” Ennis told DAZN’s Chris Mannix at the other end of the stage. He needed no prodding to consult the crystal ball. “Saturday night, make sure you tune in. Big knockout coming.” “We know how he coming,” Ennis said on the impending match. “He come forward, bring pressure. That makes for an early night.” The co-main event is a heavyweight clash between Guido Vianello, veteran of fights with Efe Ajagba and Richard Torrez Jnr, and undefeated but untested Alexis Barriere. The weigh-in was otherwise quiet but for a giggly staredown between Zaquin Moses and Antonio Dunton-El Jnr.
