I came here to watch Speedy but I gotta admit...I'm liking Sosa also. He put up a REALLY good fight.

Good fight. Thanks.

Good sportsmanship at the end.

I agree with you except him being AB. AB was never this fast. I think with Mayweather defense he could be better. AB never took his craft serious this kid looks hungry to me. Plus i have not seen a fighter to make him back up and fight. I would love to see Mayweather work with this kid

[@kobitimmons7874]

Both Fighters were Warriors in this bout

[@elbosshogg4179]

Ellis, I was thinking about this kid the other day I just couldnt think of his name, now thanks to the upload I wont, I think hes a good prospect.

[@hendog7322]

I want him to fight boots

[@jamesonedwardsii4943]

@@hendog7322 man he needs to fight anyone…. He’s not active enough and now he’s coming back calling out boots? Boots will crush Speedy right now he gets better every fight every day really

What a good fight, too bad there was no power Dios los bendiga

[@andygomez3220]

I like that commentary he hyped me up and I wasn’t fighting

[@cheekzCruz]

I hope he got considerably better becuase Vergil looked dangerous af his last fight.

Teddy Atlas was on here giving false historic information about Donald Curry .losing his un defeated record to Mike McCallum when it was a UK fighter that gave him his first loss and took his undisputed Welterweight championship and that was LLoyd Honeyghan .

[@jamesvivendi8166]

I like this

[@michaelplantus2261]

AWSOME FIGHT!!!!

[@bigj2sing]

This my first time seeing or even knowing whop he is i must say being a boxing fan im impress with his style of fighting. Kid has strong jab, moves his head well, good footwork and can pout punches together very well. Now what i also see is he can make his opponents back up im curious to see what happens when he is made to back up when a Brawler is relentless in not letting go nowhere. I think this kid has the gift to become a great fighter. I am curious to see how he handles himself when he gets a brawler or a very tall fighter. To me i love for him to take the Philly Shell Defense like MAyweather. Will be keeping my eye on him mna

[@datdudecee6298]

Soooo your basically saying you want him to BE Mayweather!!?!?!

[@bigj2sing]

He can take some pointers from Mayweather for sure like how to fight going backwards and have better defense other then leaving his face out there to hit

[@datdudecee6298]

@@bigj2sing I can agree with that...but let's get real. Floyd is one of the best (if not THE BEST) in the game. EVERYONE cause use pointers from Floyd LOL. This dude needs some pointers yes...but his style is very much in the same likeness as Floyd's style in regards to punching. He should work out his own defense to differentiate himself since his offense is already really good...like his own boxing "personality".

[@micheallawrence260]

I love this fight

[@natureknows7413]

Both warriors

[@alaury13]

I give it Sosa. Sosa needs to be trained a little better though. He was the tougher fighter. Ellis just threw a lot much punches.

[@marsflee3815]

If a fighter has good timing, that will neutralize Ellis’s speed. Virgil, Ennis, Crawford & Spence have that.

[@michaelgreen1365]

I'd like to knock them commentators out

[@rhashidvertus]

Rashidi is a fucking beast. Great fight

[@gabrielsadaraka494]

We need Ryan Quickness Garcia vs Rasihdi Speedy Ellis,

[@alaury13]

Sosa too damn friendly, fight your opponent and quit trying to tap his glove or give him a damn hug. Mtf, you’re in that ring to get the kill not make friends.

[@thegoat9320]

🤣🤣🤣 I agree 💯 pct

nothing wrong with sportsman respect. it shows humility.

[@AliDaPoet_Hungry4Knowledge]

Commentators what was y'all watching ...in those last rounds Sosa wasn't doing nothing they was talking about. Lol!

[@NONcorrupt]

I hope Rashidi Ellis faces the winner or Ortiz vs Stanionis

[@ILLRevenueRecords]

and they think this guy can beat boots....LMAO...

[@FromGuiriga]

Great fight...I had it closer. Ellis did a bit more to win it in terms of points. Ellis did not follow his corner instructions. Sosa is not the dude you want to trade punches with...hit him and get out...that's what his corner told him...but for a few seconds he traded with Sosa....good fight thou.

[@akpangborcomedy501]

Rashid ellis is the next mayweather never loose because he us american every figth since the start of figth already have desicion american never losse that is american style

[@ancientdisciple6789]

No brother! He is nowhere near the next Mayweather

[@AbumihranScreen]

Sosa needs reality check, be a beast and do all to finish and do be nice till done. He knows his talent and once it is crystal to him that is it, but that finding inner light to own boxing IQ is not common.

[@cjamonwilliams]

Hope he signs with PBC

[@michaelplantus2261]

@Christopher Williams Definitely!

[@cjamonwilliams]

@Bryan-Michael Dungee crawford hasn't fought anyone of note at 147..im not saying he can't fight but I need him to validate his skill at 147..he needs to fight Danny Garcia, Kell Brook, or Shawn Porter before he steps to Errol Spence.. Fighting no name brand 🥊 boxers from 🇰🇬 Kysicstan and all these other places don't make it. He needs to fight brand name competition

Sosa thought he won it. I think he could have won it but he needed to be more active. Rashidi just threw a lot more punches, then tied up Sosa who allowed himself to be tied up. Rashidi won it even though he was clearly struggling with the bigger and stronger Sosa.
