FARAH ENNIS LOOKING TO THROW HIS NAME IN CROWDED SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT PICTURE
Ennis – Savage headlined huge ten bout card on March 17th at Ballys in Atlantic City
It was just a year ago when then undefeated Super Middleweight Farah “The Quiet Storm” Ennis was undefeated and carried the NABF Super Middleweight championship proud.
Fast forward to April 2, 2011, Ennis, who went into his bout with fellow undefeated Super Middleweight Alexander Johnson, with a fever, took a small step backwards as he dropped a ten round majority decision.
Ennis took about nine months off before stopping Grover Young on January 13th, thus becoming the first man to stop the ten fight veteran and Ennis feels he is back on track.
Ennis will return to the scene of his only loss at Ballys in Atlantic City as he takes on one-time fellow hot prospect Dion Savage (11-2, 6 KO’s) in a ten round bout.
The twenty-nine year old native of Philadelphia still sports an impressive mark of 18-1 with twelve knockouts knows that he is basically just one win away being back to where he was in early 2011.
“I am just focusing and ready to rumble”, said Ennis
“I don’t know much about Savage but I Know he is coming to win.”
“I know a win over him will hopefully get one of those big money or a quality television fight so the world can see me but the most important thing is winning this fight and moving forward”
