Kenny Ellis Set For Ring return
(APR 13) Kenny Ellis (33-6-2, 22 KO) had to dig deep to find out if he would continue his boxing career after losing to Troy Rowland in June of 2004. Ellis took the fight on short notice knowing that he would need to win by knockout because of the ridiculous judging in Michigan. “We watched tape of Troy and felt like this was a great fight for Kenny” said Ellis’s promoter Brian Halquist. “Unfortunately, we found out two things: 1) Troy was a good fighter with a heart of gold and 2) Kenny can’t perform when he has to cut twelve pounds in twenty-four hours” Halquist said.
Ellis lost fair and square to Rowland and Kenny would take this defeat harder than any of his career.
For the next four months, Ellis stayed out of the gym, contemplating retirement.
