Jaron Ennis takes out Thomas Dulorme in less than two minutes

Jaron Ennis didn’t need long to make a lasting impression.

The welter contender knocked out veteran Thomas Dulorme only 1 minute, 49 seconds into their scheduled 10-round bout on the Jamal James-Radzhab Butaev card Saturday in Las Vegas.

Ennis (28-0, 26 KOs) now has 18 consecutive stoppages, not counting one no-decision.

The Philadelphian started the fight by jabbing to find his range against Dulorme (25-6-1, 16 KOs), who was aggressive from the opening bell.

Then, only a minute into the fight, Ennis landed an overhand right above Dulorme’s left ear that hurt him and sent him to his hands and knees.

Dulorme was able to get up and actually landed one good right hand, However, moments later, Ennis connected with a straight left that put the Puerto Rican on his back. He tried to beat the count but failed to do so.

No one is surprised that the gifted Ennis had his hand raised. However, the swift manner by which he dispatched of a tough veteran was particularly impressive.

Ennis might’ve liked more time show off his ability but he’ll take the quick stoppage.

“I wanted to show my skills and my ability but I couldn’t. I got knockout,” he said. “I just thank Thomas Dulorme for the opportunity and it’s on to the next.

“Let’s get the big names. Let’s go.”

Ennis reeled off the big names, 147-pounders like Errol Spence Jr., Terence Crawford, Shawn Porter, Keith Thurman. He really doesn’t care which one it is. He simply wants to chance to face a next-level foe.

“We’re taking over the welterweight division,” he said. “Let’s get it.”

Also on the card, Dominican lightweight prospect Michel Rivera (22-0, 14 KOs) defeated Jose Matias Romero (24-2, 8 KOs) of Argentina in a 10-round junior welterweight bout.

All three judges had the same score, 100-90.
