Circling and backpedaling, Ellis did score with enough combinations to win the first round. Yet, by the third round, it was apparent that he needed something besides style. Grinning after one exchange, Frazier chided his opponent: "Sissy, you can't hit. I'm takin' everything you got, man, and you ain't hurtin' me."
