Unbeaten lightweight and U.S. Olympic silver medalist Keyshawn “The Businessman” Davis (6-0, 5 KOs) stopped Omar Tienda (25-6, 18 KOs) in round five on Friday night in the Stevenson-Conceição co-feature at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Davis dropped Tienda in round five, then brutally finished him. Time was 1:38.

“Honestly, it felt like a dream come true,” stated Davis afterward. “I couldn’t believe I got a chance to perform {on a card of this magnitude again being that I was out with health issues. I didn’t really know what to expect in myself, but I always said since I went pro, God has me. And he definitely had me tonight…we’re working toward becoming a contender. My next fight will put me in that process faster. Then next year, we’re definitely going to be contending, and we’re going to be top 10, for sure.”

  • Misael Lopez is a liberal pothead who needs to get KTFO. Too bad his opponent sucked.

  • Phillips & Cobb should just fight one another once a month for the next 10 years @ $2,000 per week + expenses. Just fight each other 12 times a year. I am cool with that. These 2 guys rock. Then make extra money at carnivals, exhibits, conferences, etc.
