May be a method to Ennis's madness. Did he purposely string Chukhadzhian along to give the fighters who've been avoiding him reason to believe he's beatable?  

 

That's an interesting possibility, but I don't think so.  It looked to me like Chud simply had staggeringly good defense.   Floyd level, even.  

Sadly, he didn't have enough power to keep Jarod off of him,  but at least he had enough to stop a blitz attack.

De La Hoya Receives Contract For Davis-Garcia: 'Devil Is In The Details; April 15, Let's Go!'

By Jake Donovan, Boxing Scene

Two months after all parties declared a done deal was in place, Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia are nearly set to fight.

A contract has been sent to Golden Boy Promotions containing details of the proposed super fight, company founder and chairman Oscar De La Hoya confirmed on Tuesday. The Hall of Fame former six-division champion was prepared to review in full with Garcia shortly after a press conference in Los Angeles to promote Golden Boy’s upcoming January 28 DAZN show in Inglewood, California.

“Devil is in the details,” De La Hoya stated on his verified Instagram account in captioning a picture of Garcia and himself with contract in hand. “April 15 lets go!”

The development comes less than three days after De La Hoya took to social media over the weekend to insist that his side was prepared to walk away from the fight if he had not received a contract by Monday. The public threat was taken with a grain of salt, though it was since confirmed that representatives within Davis and Garcia’s immediate teams were already in touch to finalize terms for their targeted springtime affair.
