Image: Jaron Ennis' trainer reacts to Boots' elevation to IBF welterweight champion: "It's in the right hands now"

Trainer Lawrence Smalls states his fighter Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis will bring a conventional boxing design to the ring now that he has actually been called the main IBF welterweight champ after Terence Crawford’s belt was eliminated. Smalls thinks that Crawford missed out on a chance by not developing a step-aside handle Errol Spence Jr. to safeguard against Ennis. It is now as much as Ennis to safeguard his title against any and all oppositions if he is to bring “traditional boxing” back to prominence. Smalls comprehends that the strategy of awaiting huge paydays is no longer useful to the sport which Ennis should want to deal with any and all competitors in order to keep the status of the IBF welterweight belt.
