Overview

  • Davis tipped the scales at 139.3 pounds—4.3 pounds over the lightweight limit—disqualifying him from retaining his WBO belt.
  • His main event against Edwin De Los Santos was canceled; De Los Santos still collected his full purse of around $400,000.
  • On the same card, Keon Davis scored a second-round TKO while Kelvin Davis suffered his first professional loss by majority decision to Nahir Albright.
  • Following Kelvin’s defeat, Keyshawn Davis allegedly headbutted Albright in his locker room; Terence Crawford later entered with an apology on Davis’s behalf.
  • Davis has indicated he outgrew the lightweight division and is planning to move up to super lightweight after this weekend’s controversy.
