  • In other news, Rashidi will run and hide for up to 10 rounds. I’d rather watch the 108lbrs desperately slug it out for a WBO light-mini-straw title.

  • Rashidi Ellis vs. Alexis Rocha could be a good fight. Both men need win this fight to prove their worth and remain undefeated. Rashid looks flashy, special…..but that is thanks to be facing solely mediocre opposition, Alexis isn’t. Alexis is a good young fighter similar in style to Vergil Ortiz, but not quite the same, needs a lot more. His most notable win (debatable) has been against Brad Salomon (the same flattened by Ortiz previously).
    Botton line: a test for each guy, being Rocha my option by a very close decision.
