Stanionis respects Ennis

Eimantas Stanionis (15-0, 9 KOs) has great respect for Jaron Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs). Stanionis will fight Ennis for WBA and IBF World welterweight titles, on Saturday night in Atlantic City, USA.

Ennis holds IBF title and Stanionis is WBA champion.

“Really good – everything they say, he’s really good,” the 30-year-old told BoxingScene. “He can switch stances; he can bang; box; everything. Speed; IQ.

“I saw some things [potential weaknesses] that I need to work on and I was working on them in the training camp.

“I expect him [to prove my toughest opponent] but I also had tough fights as an amateur; Olympic champions; everything. I think I’ve seen it all.”
