Jaron Ennis called for a showdown with Vergil Ortiz Jr after destroying Uisma Lima in the opening round in Philadelphia.
Ennis (35-0, 31 KOs) dropped Lima (14-2, 10 KOs) three times before referee Shawn Clark intervened with Ennis reining in punches on his foe at the Xfinity Mobile Arena.
‘Boots’ was making his debut at super welterweight after relinquishing his IBF and WBA welterweight crowns following his victory over Eimantas Stanionis in April.
The 28-year-old Philadelphia native quickly switched to the southpaw stance after starting off as orthodox and the impact was almost instantaneous.
A three-punch combination which finished with a right hook put Lima onto the seat of his pants.
