During a conversation with Fight Hub TV, welterweight personality Blair Cobbs continues to call out Jaron Ennis, saying he knows for a fact Ennis isn’t a great fighter and that he’s plainly better.

Chocolatito Gonzalez did it again, scoring a dominant win over Julio Cesar Martinez with a master class performance in tonight’s DAZN main event from San Diego.
