Keyshawn Davis KO3 Gustavo Lemos ... Hometown hero and lightweight contender Keyshawn Davis knocked out Argentina's Gustavo Lemos in the second round Friday evening before a sold-out crowd of 10,568 at Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. This marked the biggest boxing event at the famed venue since local legend Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker fought Buddy McGirt in 1994. Thirty years later, Davis (12-0, 8 KOs) made his Scope debut in grand fashion. Despite missing weight by more than six pounds and having a noticeable size advantage on fight night, Lemos (29-2, 19 KOs) had no answer for "The Businessman."  Davis knocked down Lemos three times in the second round, punctuating the action with a left hook/right-hand combination. Referee Raul Caiz Jr. dived in to stop the fight as Lemos tumbled to the mat. Afterwards, Davis called out WBA lightweight champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis.

 

"I had no hesitation. Me and my team, we stuck to our guns. We said if he comes in too much over we ain’t gonna fight. But he followed his game plan, and he didn’t come too much over (at the weight check on Friday morning), so we had a fight and we gave a spectacular night," Davis said. "I didn’t feel no power in him. I actually sat back on the ropes one little second, and I let him throw his overhand that he loves and I felt it on my shoulder. And I looked at my brothers and gave them that face like, no, not enough (power). It ended in the second round so maybe he didn’t really get a chance to hit me."

 

Davis landed 76.5 percent of his power shots, while Lemos connected on only 13 punches. That told the story of the one-way traffic that brought the '757' fans to their collective feet.
