Jimmy Ellis,

The 25 year-old Louisville-based Middleweight.

The 6' 1" 165 lb. Ellis, with a record of 15-5-0 (6 KO's) who
will now move to Light-Heavyweight.

'We've been working on speed with Muhammad. There is no reason
for him to stand there and slug away with Liston. Just box, move, and jab -
that is the key.'

'I still believe Liston hurt his shoulder before the 1st-fight, and he thought
he could take out Muhammad in a couple of rounds anyway. Then he
realized he made a big mistake, so he quit.'
