33-year-old Derek Ennis is not an easy night for any fighter in the world. Ennis has faced a number of strong opponents and usually comes out victorious. In 2013, he lost a majority decision squeaker to top-rated Puerto Rican slugger Jonathan Gonzalez, but has since rebounded with a stoppage win over Puerto Rico’s Emil Gonzalez in March of this year.
