[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WASHINGTON - Roiman Villa did it again Saturday night. The hard-hitting Venezuelan had tremendous difficulty landing flush punches on previously undefeated Rashidi Ellis in the first seven rounds, but his persistent pressure wore down the faster, elusive Ellis and led to a second straight upset victory for the welterweight contender. Villa (26-1, 24 KOs) dropped Ellis twice during the 12th and final round and won their IBF elimination match by majority decision on the Gervonta Davis-Hector Luis Garcia pay-per-view undercard at Capital One Arena.

Great fight, I thought the refree gave long counts and villa was going to have fight stolen from him.

Ellis went into standby mode after 6 rounds.

Now that was a robbery but I blame Rashidi. He became careless in the end. Talented fighter but has a little more work to do imo

I had it close.

See the headbutt Ellis got in the 7th(?) How he was holding his mouth for hella seconds after? The whole sway of the fight changed after that.

That's bullshxt, Ellis won the first 8 or 9 rounds. 2 knock downs don't erase the rest of the fight.

Ellis did so well those first six, Villa caught up strong, and it's arguable the outcome could have been a draw weren't it for Villa's complete domination in the last round. Great fight!

You're smoking. Rashidi was backing away and barely doing after 6.
