Keyshawn Davis (13-0, 9 KO) won the featherlight WBO title in his 14th professional fight, rejecting a friend of the Olympic silver medalist Denys Berinchyk (19-1, 9 KOS) with a left body hook in the fourth round in the fourth round on Friday evening at the theater in Madison Square Garden.
A few days after the ugly weekly controversy between them, Davis refused that his emotions be the best of him. He remained composed, pulled Berinchyk and closed the program.
The 25-year-old had to move early in the constant feinging of Berinchyk and Movement, but in the third round he found his rhythm, the time when he came on the right hand and dropping him to the left to the body.
By eating the success of his attack in the central part, Davis doubled on the fourth. When Berinchyk entered, Davis counteracting his right and left downstairs, the latter folded him on canvas.
Berinchyk tried to get up, but judge Harvey Dock waved at 1:45.
Davis said: “It was an amazing feeling. Just before eliminating it, I heard a crowd that said: “Norfolk! Norfolk! Norfolk! ‘I thought, “I have to knock him out now! Boom!'”
“I have never really had problems with awkward warriors. The only thing that gave me trouble was the way he jumps and left. And it was a bit faster than I expected. When the rounds lasted, I felt more comfortable, and in the fourth round I did it to him. “
“My son was here. I had to appear for my son, Keyshawn Jr. He was in the crowd watching me. Now it means a lot to me. When he looks at this day, he will be proud of his father. “
“I want everyone who has balls to enter the ring and fight me. There are two 135-pound masters that I would like to fight. If they have the courage to enter the ring with a “businessman”, tell them to send me a contract or I can send them. “
X means sport
The star Puerto Rican, Xander Zayas, moved to his junior WBO Ranking No. 1, stopping the German contender to the German contender Sław Sławer (20-1, 11 KO) in the ninth round of the company.
Zayas (21-0, 13 KO) invested in the body early and often, and eventually paid dividends. He spent most of the fight with retreat and building a convenient advantage before using his moment.
Waiting the hook upstairs, Spomer left the body open, and Zayas buried his left to the liver. Spomer never recovered when Zayas threw himself, pouring him out as long as judge Charlie Fitch saw enough. Zayas kept his pair of regional stripes at 2:01 ninth round.
Zayas said: “From the first round I knew that he would gradually wear out. On the third or fourth I hurt him and he got a good shot for me. But I went to my corner and told me to fight intelligently because we had 10 rounds to bear it. And until the eighth and nine they told me, let’s come with combinations and we began to land with more power to get the finish. “
“On paper he was my most arduous opponent so far, and I stopped him. I passed every test that stayed in front of me, and I feel that I am now ready to fight for the title of world champion. I want the next one. “

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.
The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
