    Jaron Ennis stopped Eimantas Stanionis at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City to unify the IBF and WBA welterweight world championships.
    Stanionis’ corner pulled him out after the sixth round with the Lithuanian hurt after a knockdown.
    Ennis forced Stanionis to the ropes and sent him down to one knee with a sequence of uppercuts and body shots.
    “I was just picking it up. I knew he was going to go, from the second round, from certain things he was doing,” Ennis said.
    It was the first loss Stanionis had taken in his professional career.

    “When I fight top-of-the-line guys, good guys, that’s what you’re going to see,” Ennis said. “You’re going to see a whole different me. When I’m in the ring, I’m in my happy place. When I’ve got a top guy and I’m fighting for something, it’s a whole different story. Can’t nobody mess with me.
    “Everything’s falling in line. It’s perfect timing.”
