Pro career
Ellis began his professional career in 1989 and later moved up two weight classes. He came up short in his only attempt at a major title--a 1997 loss to IBF Light Middleweight titleholder Raúl Márquez via TKO in the fourth round. However, Ellis did outbox the heavily favored Vince Phillips in a non-title bout and earned a victory by decision. In 1998 Ellis took on Fernando Vargas and was TKO'd in the second round. Ellis lost his next fight, in 2001, and retired with a record of 24-4-1 with 17 knockouts.

gollark: They are very cool.
gollark: My current power generation can only support frequent use of high-efficiency spatial IO frames of less than 16x16x16 lest all power cut out and my base be plunged into eternal darkness from which it can never escape.
gollark: One of my long-term plans is to make a design allowing me to just automatically churn out compact machines filled with fusion reactors which work.
