Ennis vs Chukhadzhian II Boxing Predictions, Best Pick for 11/9

With Mario Barrios, Brian Norman Jr., and Eimantas Stanionis each holding welterweight gold, of course, we didn’t want to see Ennis box Karen Chukhadzhian – a man he defeated in 2023 – again, but that won’t stop me from putting my dollars down and betting on the next big thing at 147 pounds.

On that note, let’s dive into my complete breakdown and analysis of Ennis vs Chukhadzhian 2 as I attempt to find the best boxing betting pick on the -6000 favorite.

Ennis vs Chukhadzhian 2 Betting Preview

Jaren “Boots” Ennis: Vacate or Defend

The last time Jaren “Boots” Ennis met Karen Chukhadzhian, he successfully and convincingly captured the interim IBF welterweight strap. Across twelve rounds, he beat the pi** out of his Ukrainian foe and, since then, has gone on to capture the full title, remained undefeated, and sit atop the welterweight rankings as one of the best 147-pounders on the planet.

Unfortunately, with the IBF championship around his waist, mandatory defenses come with it. Without a choice in the matter, Ennis has been forced to defend the title against Chukhadzhian this weekend, despite leaving no doubt that he’s a more talented boxer thanjust last year.

The Philly native does, however, get to perform in front of a home crowd on Saturday. Should he achieve the goal of following in the footsteps of Terrence Crawford and capture the remaining titles at 147lbs, an unblemished record alongside an impressive highlight reel of 29 knockouts is the perfect makings for a future megastar of the sport.

Ennis Never Considered Vacating the IBF Title

During an interview with BoxingScene, Ennis let it be known that he never contemplated vacating the belt no matter who the opponent is:

“Vacating the belt wasn’t a thought in my mind. I stayed in the gym, focused, and did what I neededto improve. I wasn’t worried about what was going on in the outside. I let my team handle all of that. I want to stay busy and collect the rest of these belts. If they are playing around, maybe we’ll be at 154 pounds, ormaybe not. We’ll see.”

Ennis vs Chukhadzhian II: The Tale of the Tape

Remember to check the latest boxing news before placing your bets.

Ennis v Chukhadzhian: Skillset Breakdown

The beauty of this contest is that we’ve already witnessed how this fight plays out, and honestly, it wasn’t even close. The only downside on Ennis’ night is that he didn’t grab a knockout win, which he’s accustomed to as a pro.

Chukhadzhian is no slouch; however, it’s just that he’s not on the level of “Boots.” He lost all 12 rounds in the first fight, and although his pre-fight game plan was to take the American into deep waters and test his cardio, this path to victory was a huge failure, so it’ll be interesting to see his approach this time.

Will the Ukrainians put more caution on the wind? He’s known as a technically sound fighter who often relies on point scoring to win his bouts, but this failed him previously, so perhaps a more aggressive approach is the only option.

Watching Ennis struggle to back Chukhadzhian up was weird, although this at least gives him a goal for Saturday. He won’t be coming into the fight with a cruise to the scorecard’s mindset; he’ll be hunting the knockout.

Chukhadzhian must let his punches go this timeand fight Ennis, no matter how dangerous it is. If not, he’ll be emulating the first fight, which didn’t work. That said, this is where the champ will be able to get his most damaging offense going… Cutting angles, heavy pressure, backing into the corner, and eventually finding the knockout shot seem inevitable in such a scenario.

Ennis vs Chukhadzhian Betting Trends

Here are four betting trends to consider before placing your bets at BetUS Sportsbook:

• Ennis is undefeated as a professional (32-0)
• Ennis defeated Chukhadzhian by unanimous decision in 2023
• Chukhadzhian has never been knocked out
• Ennis has knocked out 29 of his 32 opponents to date

How to Bet on Ennis vs Chukhadzhian

There is minimal logic to making this fight from a fan’s perspective, but the Ennis team can certainly rectify the knockout win that got away, and that’s precisely how I believe the “Boots” team will treat this fight.

Now, this expected mindset from the defending IBF champ also assists us from a betting perspective because the -6000 is a price we cannot work with. I mean, unless you get kicks out of betting $6000 to win $100, you’re going to look at this price and feel queasy.

One simply doesn’t fight “Boots” Ennis twice within 22 months and avoid his overwhelming power without repercussions. As the Ukrainian is forced to give a different look this time, I expect him to provide Ennis with more opportunities to find the finish, and as a result, “Boots” by knockout is the logical boxing betting approach.

Bet This Pick: Ennis To Win By Knockout (-700)
