WBC #3, IBF #3, WBO #3 lightweight contender and U.S. Olympic silver medalist Keyshawn Davis (11-0, 7 KOs) will make his main event debut this Friday at Norfolk’s Scope Arena, where he’ll take on IBF #6, WBC #9, WBO #13 ranked Gustavo Lemos (29-1, 19 KOs) in a 10-round showdown. Davis will top the most significant boxing card at the storied venue since Norfolk legend Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker defended his welterweight crown against Buddy McGirt in October 1994.

Keyshawn Davis: “It’s not going to be beautiful. There’s going to be blood everywhere. His nose might be a little lopsided after. But, I respect you, Gustavo. You are an amazing fighter. I appreciate you for taking the fight in my hometown, but I’m going to f**k you up.”

Gustavo Lemos: “I don’t see any difference between this and my last fights…I wish him good luck on Friday, and tell him to be careful.”

Keyshawn’s two brothers will also be featured. His older brother, junior welterweight Kelvin Davis (13-0, 7 KOs), will fight Yeis Solano (15-3, 10 KOs) in an eight-rounder, while his younger brother, Keon Davis, makes his professional debut in a four-round junior middleweight tilt versus Jalen Moore (1-1, 1 KO).

Keyshawn makes weight, Lemos heavy
A great trip to Puerto Rico and Miami

  • Interesting fight , flare and a big mouth versus a confident man .
    Lemos will win in my opinion.

    • Gary, I hope you are right. Not a fan of Pot Smoking Davis. Let’s see what happens. I personally think Keyshawn will win.

      I already spent all of my good luck points on Trump, the Senate, and the House. Plus 3 & 4 losing in Florida.

      Keyshawn having a Jared Anderson experience would be delicious.

    • At least he doesn’t have snakes in his hair like the other guy. The Medusa look is a horrible, HORRIBLE, awful, faddish hairstyle.
      Muhammad Ali would never walk around with snakes in his hair and a scuzzy goatee
      like today’s fighters. The man was CLEAN.
      He wouldn’t wear earrings either. He wouldn’t walk around dressed like a clown like these fools today. Ray Arcel used to say if you are somebody, you should look like
      somebody. Bring back the old fighters and the old days. They had class.

  • As the fight gets closer I’m getting more excited about it. A real test for Keyshawn.

  • When Bob signed this pothead, Keyshawn made it clear that he also had to sign his 2 brothers. Bob agreed. Let’s see how far they go. I do not see Keyshawn losing this match. He should win by stoppage.

    • Lemos was being respectful at the press conference and Davis goes full lead paint
      ghetto by saying, “I’m going to f— you up”.
      What class!!! Get those snakes out of your
      hair, Medusa.

  • The main and co-main seems like it’s going to be a real banger. Both Davis brothers are definitely in for a fight. Can’t wait for this one.

  • Looks like a good matchup for Keyshawn at this stage. I have seen much of him but I’ve been hearing about him. Is he the real deal do you think? Lemos has a lot of experience, good record, descent power (at least his record suggests).

  • Lemos will bring heavy pressure, a good punch output, a mean streak and solid determination – time to review Davis’ mental health for this fight. I am looking forward to it.

  • Lemon is 6lbs overweight but the fight will still go on. Davis must be supremely confidant.

  • Abdulla Mason is on the undercard. Highly touted, 15-0 with 13kos but still fighting 8 rounders?

    • I think Mason could beat Medusa-Head today. Keyshawn talks way too much smack
      for a newbie. Let him fight William Zepeda and a few others before he calls out Tank.

  • i believe lemos needs a ko he is fighting in keyshawns home town the co main fight might be a better fight as for lemos being overweight lemos probably gets fined and keyshawn gets more money lemos might run out of gas in the late rounds
