Ennis delivered on his promise to produce a "spectacular knockout," dropping Uisma Lima twice before smothering him with output, prompting the referee to halt the action toward a scintillating first-round knockout.

The victory at Xfinity Mobile Arena in his hometown of Philadelphia, and live on DAZN, had 'Boots' winning the WBA interim world super welterweight title and calling out Vergil Ortiz Jr. for his next fight.

"I did what I had to do," Ennis told DAZN's Chris Mannix after his eye-opening victory. "I'm here at 154, made a statement. Bring them names!"

The undefeated Ennis (35-0, 31 KOs) got things started quickly in his first taste at 154 pounds by unleashing a brilliant right-left-right combination that dropped Lima.

Seeing red, Ennis rushed Lima and unloaded with punches until the Angolan fighter tasted the canvas a second time.

Then, he blitzed Lima against the ropes with more unanswered punches, forcing the ref to stop the action for the rousing statement victory.

With the electric win, 'Boots' not only put his new division on notice of his arrival but reinforced he is arguably the most exciting fighter that the sweet science has to offer today.

This is how the entire 'Boots' Ennis vs. Lima main card went.
