Ennis vs Clayton FULL FIGHT: May 15, 2022 | PBC on Showtime



Jaron Ennis makes short work of Custio Clayton, stopping him via impressive knockout in Round 2 of their IBF Welterweight Title Eliminator.

In what was supposed to be the toughest test of his career, Jaron “Boots” Ennis again made a mockery of pre-fight expectations, stopping the previously undefeated Custio Clayton via a second-round stoppage in an IBF welterweight title eliminator in the telecast co-feature in another scintillating performance from the Philly fighter.

After pushing Clayton back with jabs, Ennis, 24, landed a sweeping right hand to the top of Clayton’s head behind his ear that caused the Canadian to crumple to the canvas. Clayton, a former Olympian known for his durability, tried to get up but was still dizzy from the punch and fell back down again. He finally managed to get to his feet and beat the count, but stumbled into the ropes, causing referee Ray Corona to mercifully wave the fight off at 2:49 of the second round.

Following the match, Ennis called out unified champion Errol Spence Jr., who was ringside. Ennis improved to 29-0 with 27 knockouts while Clayton suffered his first defeat, dropping to 19-1-1 with 12 knockouts.

“Anybody can get it right now,” Ennis said. “But I’m the IBF No. 1 contender and I think ‘Mr. Big Fish’ is here himself, so it’s time to go fishing,” he said referencing Spence’s nickname.

Spence responded, smiling as he commented on another dominant and electric performance from Ennis and another unsuccessful showing from an Ennis opponent.

“He’s doing what he’s supposed to do,” Spence told Jim Gray of SHOWTIME. “He’s supposed to call me and everybody out and say I want to fight them. If he wasn’t hungry like that, like the guy he just fought. I don’t feel like he was hungry. I don’t feel like he wanted to fight.

“Ennis can fight,” Spence went on. “I’m very high on him. He’s got the right attitude. He’s got the right team behind him with him and his dad. He’s going to go a long way. But I heard him say he wants to reel me in. You might catch something you don’t want so don’t try too hard trying to reel me in.”

Ennis, who previously stopped veteran contender Thomas Dulorme in the first round back in October, took control from the opening bell, unleashing a steady diet of jabs to Clayton’s face and body. With Clayton moving backward for the entire round, unable to respond, frozen by Ennis’ speed, the 24-year-old began to open up with rights and lefts while switching from righty to lefty as Clayton covered up.

“He had a high guard, so I was trying to come around with the right hook,” Ennis said. “He leaned down and I just threw an overhand. I thought he was going to get up. He’s a durable, tough guy. Nobody has ever stopped him. I thought he was going to get up, but I saw he fell again, so I was like, ‘this is over.’”

    Inniss is good i like him…but he falls short of having what it takes to beat Crawford. I look at both of them n he shouldn't be in a rush to spoil his record. He should not rush up to Bud Crawford, he is not there yet.

  10. azenh

    Beautiful performance, Him Vs Bud would be a better fight than Bud Vs errol

  11. Ceyhun Ozel

    He’s in my favorite fighters currently fighting Inoue,Spence, Loma, and he can take GGGS spot! 😂 beast.

    Even though I don't like Ennis' character, I believe nobody could really beat him. I think he could win against Crawford, but will give him a great fight. Xander Zayas and Conor Benn will also give him the toughest tests for sure.

    That was way behind the head man. No one gets up from that back of the head thud. Ennis is good but man has all the advantages,,height, and arm length. That punch was dirty behind back of head.

  21. Onur Atik

    This ko punch was right behind the head and nobody noticed?
    Ok, he was dizzy couldnt recognize but where were his coach, ref? Its unbeliveable.
    If it was on face, he would b3 shaken like that.
    Its a shame.

  24. Freddy Romero

    Jaron Ennis le dio un golpe de Conejo. Jaron Ennis hit him with a rabbit punch and that is not permitted. 😠😠💪💪💪

    Man y’all know that punch landed on the back of the head! Anyone can see that, especially in slow motion. These commentators be full of ish!!!
    He’s saying the punch landed on the temple while he’s literally watching the replay and seeing that the punch was clearly to the back of the man’s head. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

  28. S. Blake

    Curl Shit! Clearly hit behind the head. That was not a deliberate shoot. Clayton bend down as the punch was coming! Innis is a great fighter.

  29. Peace Seeker

    Boots would have won anyway, but the KO punch was in the back of the head. Clayton should have blitzed Boots when he got inside those few times because it was his only long shot hope. The longer the fight went on the worst the outcome for Clayton. Boots too skilled and fast and strong and he had a big reach advantage.

  30. Tommy Hayes

    THEY ARE THROWING HIM IN WITH BUM,S IT'S BULL SHIT TO GET HIM IN WITH THE MONEY FIGHTERS, HE IS NOT SUPER MAN,HE WAS SCARED,.

  36. Lavail Segrest

    Why yall talking like we can't see the punch land behind the head. That doesn't take away buddy can fight. Why insult our intelligence like that. Just annoying…. LYING 🤥

  42. Mr.Neal Woods

    That dude was scared. That's not Boots fault. Clayton is a sparring partner. He pretended to be hurt to get out of the fight.
