    Rashidi Ellis vs. Roiman Villa is a perfect example of why 'eye test' doesn't work.

    For those that forgot:

    Roiman Villa is the guy who upset the apple cart with NSB's former 'eye test' in Janelson Bocachica. Who nobody talks about anymore.

    Mind you, Roiman Villa has a record FULL of journeymen; nobody expected him to beat Bocachica because Bocachica looked great against the C-levels and Villa's record is and was subpar.

    Now, on paper, Rashidi Ellis should walk right through Villa. BUT...if Villa makes Ellis look bad even in loss, it's the same thing.

    Villa doesn't pass any 'eye test' - he's just a strong warrior. He shouldn't be able to deal with someone who does pass the 'eye test' - unless the 'eye test' is lying.

    the problem with the eye test is that not even the most knowledgeable boxing person can pass it every time, just look at the pickem table here hoho (joke)

      Eye test doesn't solve anything. It just becomes an excuse not to step up the game further by taking legit opponents. How many eye tests does a fighter need to step up his game?

      Ennis passes the eye test in flying colors and his next fight is Karen? It's a joke.

        Seems like people are still sleeping on Villa. That's a shame.

            Good call on this one. I thought Ellis won, but your point is still made.
