Jaron “Boots” Ennis dropped Xander Zayas three times and lifted two super welterweight titles with a TKO7 on Saturday night in Brooklyn, NY. The heavily hyped showdown exceeded all expectations as Ennis (36-0, 32 KOs) outslugged the 23-year old Puerto Rican in a star-making performance.
Official time of the stoppage was 1:49 of round seven when Zayas’ corner threw in the towel after the third knockdown.
Ennis scored a knockdown early in the first round the the tone was set for the rest of the fight. Zayas (23-1, 13 KOs) caught a solid right hand and went down under a rush of punches. “Boots” attacked and Zayas took on a lot of damage in a rough first round.
