By Steven Cummings

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.

MIKAELA MAYER UD10 OVER SANDY RYAN

At the end of a long fight card that went way late into the night, Mikaela Mayer decisioned Sandy Ryan over 10 rounds in one of the best fights I’ve seen this year. Despite no knockdowns, this was an all-action contest with ebbs and flows throughout and nearly no slowdown from either fighter.
