Keyshawn Davis KO4 Denys Berinchyk... Keyshawn “The Businessman” Davis, the 2021 Olympic silver medalist from Norfolk, Virginia, captured the WBO lightweight championship on Saturday at the Theater at Madison Square Garden with a fourth-round knockout against Denys “The Thunder” Berinchyk. Headlining Top Rank’s ESPN-televised Valentine’s Day event in New York City, Davis’ speed and precision proved the difference. Making his first title defense, the southpaw Berinchyk, 134.6 pounds, of Kyiv, Ukraine, was largely ineffective, often clumsy and off balance. The champion muffled much of his offense while grappling with the stronger challenger and excessively initiating clinches. Younger, taller, and with a two-inch reach advantage, Davis expertly executed his game plan, landing sharp, stinging power shots to the head and body. A left hook upstairs found its way past a crouching Berinchyk’s high guard to score the first knockdown in round three. Davis, 134.2 lbs., bloodied Berinchyk’s nose in the fourth then landed a devastating left hook to the body to send his foe to a knee for the full ten count. The knockout came at 1:45 of the frame. The new champion exited the ring with his new belt and a 13-0 (9 KOs) record. Though billed as undefeated coming into his title defense, Berinchyk fought in five paid contests in the World Series of Boxing, making 22-3 the most accurate accounting of his pro career.
