Unbeaten welterweight contender Delante Johnson, who has sparred both Jaron Ennis and Vergil Ortiz Jr., has an interesting perspective on their skillsets. In an interview with YSM Sports Media, Johnson shared his thoughts on the two undefeated super-welterweight fighters. He believes that while Ortiz has proven himself as a formidable puncher with victories over Israil Madrimov and Serhii Bohachuk, it's Ennis who has the edge. Johnson praises Ennis' ability to switch between orthodox and southpaw stances, his speed, power, and timing. He also highlights Ennis' footwork and craftiness, stating that he has 'more tools in his bag.' However, Johnson's opinion may be influenced by the recent performances of the fighters. While Ortiz has been impressive, Ennis' recent victory over Eimantas Stanionis and his move up in weight with a one-round knockout of Uisma Lima have likely contributed to Johnson's assessment. The article also touches on the potential clash between Ortiz and Ennis, which has been teased by Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn. However, recent comments from Ortiz' promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, and his manager, Rick Mirigian, do not bode well for the fight's chances. Despite this, fans remain hopeful that the pair will finally lock horns later this year. The comparison between the two fighters is left open-ended, leaving readers to ponder the potential outcome of a match-up between these two talented boxers.
