American Trainer: “Ennis Will Hurt Ortiz, Bro. I’m Serious.”

American coach Stephen Edwards believes that in a potential fight between Jaron Ennis and Vergil Ortiz, Ennis will win convincingly and cause significant damage.

“He’s going to hurt him. It won’t be as hard as it looks right now. It’s going to be a bloody fight. He’s going to hurt Ortiz, bro. I’m serious.

Robert Garcia is a great trainer. And he could shut me up. They have a great team, and they’re doing big things — I have nothing bad to say about them. I think Robert Garcia will do a great job and do everything he can. But I don’t think it will be enough. Boots is going to hurt Vergil,” Edwards said.

On November 8, Vergil Ortiz (24-0, 22 KOs) knocked out Erickson Lubin in the 2nd round. After the fight, Jaron Ennis (35-0, 31 KOs) entered the ring, agreed to the matchup, and promised to “make him pay” for his team’s comments. Later, Ortiz’s manager suggested an alternative plan — Ortiz vs. Spence at Cowboys Stadium — while Ennis would appear in the co-main event.
