Whitaker 6 foot 8, of Van Nuys, decked Mathew Ellis of England three times with vicious punches to the head. After the last time, referee Jack Reiss wisely stopped the fight at 1:39 of the first round before about 600, Whitaker winning by technical knockout. The card, which featured pro boxing, mixed martial arts and amateur boxing. Somebody needs to tell Ellis to get another line of work, getting the **** beat out of you on a regular basis isn't good for the mans health, even if it does pay...
Why o why o why is Ellis doing this? The guy retired for the right reasons. He was barely a heavy in the first place. Whitaker is on the comeback trail ..(again..) and chooses a guy like Ellis? He should be ashamed of himself. Anyone who thinks "Goofi" is a good idea for a nickname is an idiot. Whitaker was never anything much to write home about. Slow as molasses and Jameel McCline part II.
i never saw this bout goin more than a round. Poor old Ellis can't compete at british level,let alone stateside. Goofi can feed on this level of opponent forever...
he hardly suffered at the hands of tyson fury did he. I get hit harder then that off my son. Do a little wobble. Get stopped fast. At least four grand.
