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.”

We all know where Andy Cruz is.
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.
