HONOLULU - One thing many gamblers who follow Jimmy Elliot have learned: never put too much money on the cantankerous Irishman. For as sure as he has the skills to beat anyone in the world when he truly wants to, he can also lose just as quickly with his underhanded shenanigans.

Tonight it was the Mr. Hyde that resides in side Elliot who came to fight. Fouling repeatedly through the early part of the contest, Elliot seemed to be more concerned with creating general mayhem than in beating William Miller. Despite his hell-bent mission of self-destruction, Elliot dominated the action early, almost dispatching Miller in round 3 with a 9 count knockdown and thoroughly beating his opponent to the punch all night long.

However, as is frequently the case with the pugnacious Irishman, it wasn't enough to mercilessly pummel his inferior opponent. Again and again Elliot earned the wrath of referee Steinwinder with his south-of-the-belt action and other misdeeds. When Miller opened a cut over the right eye of Elliot in round 7, it seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back. Elliot earned a point deduction for a low blow and another warning for holding and hitting. The round ended with a chorus of boos from the disgusted throng in attendance.

Rumor had it that Miller had overtrained for this bout. The rumors were apparently true as by the 4th Miller looked sluggish and uninvolved. As it turned out, he needn't have worried. For just showing up and managing to stay upright, Miller was destined for a victory.

Round 8 begain with Elliot taking the lead once again, plastering Miller with several good shots that had Miller reeling. But Elliot could not subdue his darker nature, grabbing Miller with one hand and punching his face with the other. Steinwinder had seen enough. With 34 seconds gone in round 8, he stopped the fight and disqualified Elliot. Elliot's corner was beside itself, protesting loudly the decision. But anyone in attendance understood that it was well deserving and probably long in coming.

On the undercard, a lively slugfest ended in victory for Tom Sayers, who out punched opponent Alex Garcia to take a 6 round TKO. Garcia tasted the canvas twice in the contest, and was no longer throwing up any kind of defense against Sayers when the match was stopped. And Jim Daly shocked "Captain" James Dalton tonight with a surprising 2 round TKO of the formerly 15th ranked Dalton. Dalton, a 9-2 favorite going into the contest, was never really in the match. Daly dropped Dalton to the canvas early in round 1 with a devastating hook and a follow-up cross that surprised his opponent. Dalton returned in round 2, but midway through the round, a big overhand right by Daly sent Dalton lurching into the ropes. Dalton's jaw immediately swelled to grotesque proportions. Mercante stopped the action. Dalton's jaw was broken. Daly wins by TKO and a disconsolate Dalton will be out of action for some time.
