"Incredible performance by Ennis. Today you saw one of the best fighters in the sport. He's 27 years old. It took a fighter of the quality of Stanionis for Ennis to show his level. I mean no disrespect to Stanionis, but "Boots" probably showed 20% of his level. He can show a lot more than that. And like I said, he's only 27 years old.
Ennis is the best welterweight in the world. He will be the best at bantamweight and middleweight. He broke into the pound-for-pound rankings today, and that's just the beginning," Hearn said.
Recall that this morning Ennis defeated Stanionis on the refusal of the corner of the opponent to continue the fight after the sixth round.
