ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Jaron Ennis crowned himself the best fighter in the 147-pound division when he stopped Eimantas Stanionis after six rounds and claimed three shares of the welterweight division crown with a decisive win Saturday night in boxing's return to Atlantic City.

Ennis ran his record to 34-0 after the fight was waved off once Stanionis was unable to continue after the sixth round.
