Comments Thread For: Rashidi Ellis Refuses To Accept Villa Defeat: "I Just Want The Rematch Asap"

[MulaKO]

Roiman 'Eye Test Killa' Villa.

But I respeck Ellis for wanting to run it back.

Same here although I think it’s a bad call going right back to that fight
Imo , same result except this time ko towards 6/7th round

I was at the fight, Ellis LOST that fight.. I was rooting for him, but he lost that fight to me.

Rashidii did good early, then faded late. That constant pressure from Villa was a mofo and eventually he startes landing hard shots. When u get tired and fall apart at the seams, it looks bad to the crowd and to judges. Your stamina has to be unquestionable. These guys in this era are often full of themselves, but are not in shape for 12 hard rounds. They can do 12 easy rounds if a guy is letting them have their way, but if its a hard fight, they can only do 6 or maybe 7 good rounds b4 they start to wilt and their hands start to drop. Rashiidi moved too much at times and he has to admit he lost and fix what he needs to fix.. get your ass in better shape, talking about u wanted Boots?! Man u can't even beat this Venezuelan dude. U better chill talking like that

Sorry "Speedy," but that's not how it works! You blew it! Go get Mario Barrios! Earn you're way back to the Top! BTW, Boots was gonna light that ass up anyway!

The OG fight was close enough that I would welcome a rematch. But I think Villa slightly took the W. But it was very close.

Respect and I

Shades of Fury-Wilder I. Fury controlled the entire fight, but got dropped twice late. Optics matter.

Well, we at least know it would be a good fight compared to anyone else Ellis is likely to fight. He's not going to fight Boots and Villa has been on a tear as of late taking 0's from these 'eye test' fighters. Villa deserves more high profile fights until someone can disrupt him.

Because the alternative is Karen Chukhadzian - and Ellis vs. Chukhadzian is a TERRIBLE style matchup.

[STREET CLEANER]

I thought Ellis had a close win in that fight. He really did very well in the first half. He got caught up at the end, his corner said stay engaged instead of boxing from the outside.

Wouldn't mind seeing any of those two guys against any top fighter. Villa showed stamina, power and persevered until the last round

[steeve steel]

That last round literally killed him. But it's his own fault; he was too complacent in the first half of the fight and dropped the ball in the end. He knows it and that's why it still hurts so bad.
