  FORTUNE SMILED UPON JIMMY ELLIS
Ellis, meanwhile, was matched against a tough Philadelphia heavyweight named Leotis Martin, a converted southpaw with a record of 24-1, the best mark of any of the eight men in the tournament.
Ellis had his nose broken in the first round of the fight and was soundly beaten by the erstwhile champ from the ninth round on.
At the end of the day, Ellis should be regarded as one who always gave his best effort, as one who exhibited an abundance of heart, and as one who seized the opportunities that Providence laid at his feet in those glory-filled months between the summer of 1967 and the early months of 1970.
