Rashidi Ellis (USA) vs. Roiman Villa (VENEZUELA) | Boxing Fight Highlights

Roiman Villa, with a record of 26 wins, 1 loss, and 24 knockouts, achieved a remarkable victory by defeating the highly skilled and previously undefeated 'Speedy' Rashidi Ellis, who boasted a record of 24 wins, 1 loss, and 15 knockouts. This stunning win came through a 12-round majority decision in an IBF welterweight title eliminator held at the Capitol One Arena in Washington, D.C. The judges scored the bout 114-112, 114-112, and 113-113. While some fans argued that Ellis was unfairly judged, Villa's impressive performance in the final rounds convincingly established his deserving victory.
Villa demonstrated his resilience and determination throughout the fight, particularly after a challenging start where he seemed outmatched by Ellis' speed and skill. Despite this, Villa's relentless forward pressure and ability to absorb Ellis' punches gradually wore down his opponent, culminating in two knockdowns in the 12th round, sealing Villa's triumph in what proved to be the most thrilling bout of the Gervonta 'Tank' Davis vs. Hector Luis Garcia event on Showtime PPV, outshining all other fights on the card.
Looking ahead, a rematch with Ellis could be an intriguing prospect if Villa is unable to secure a title shot against IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr or a matchup against interim IBF 147-lb champion Jaron 'Boots' Ennis, who also emerged victorious on the same card. Ennis secured a 12-round unanimous decision victory over Karen Chukhadzhian, although their bout lacked the excitement of Villa's dramatic comeback against Ellis.
The 29-year-old Villa, nicknamed 'Flaco de Oro,' initially struggled in the early rounds, facing difficulty against Ellis' superior speed and technique. However, Villa's relentless pursuit and ability to withstand Ellis' onslaught gradually turned the tide in his favor, ultimately leading to Ellis' downfall in the latter half of the fight. Ellis' defeat not only diminishes his prospects for future matchups with elite fighters like Errol Spence Jr and Jaron Ennis but also casts doubt on the trajectory of his career, which previously seemed promising before his encounter with Villa. Whether Ellis' decline in the later rounds was due to ring rust or exhaustion remains uncertain, but Villa's dominant performance undoubtedly altered the course of their bout and potentially reshaped the landscape of the welterweight division.
