Recovered as the game went on but a tough day. 5Ezri Konsa: Part of a back four that has not looked convincing throughout this tournament, with questions about the amount of space that has been…
Oscar De La Hoya has revealed exactly what he made of Jaron Ennis‘ performance against Xander Zayas on Saturday. Ennis was successful in his quest to become a two-division world champion as he earned a seventh round stoppage win over Zayas at the Barclays Center in New York.

Everyone will be hunting me. This is…
