Nayya Inoue defeats Ramon Cardenas in the Battle of Vegas
Keyshawn Davis says he still doesn’t know why a fight never broke out with Devin Haney after talks between both camps earlier this year.
Davis was talking about Haney after he dominated Nahir Albright for 12 rounds on Saturday night in Norfolk. Although Keyshawn won a wide unanimous decision over Albright, he later admitted that he had been in bigger fights before the rematch was finalized.
“I went up to Bill in January and he told me to keep my word after the fight,” Keyshawn later told the media. “Why it didn’t happen, I don’t know.”
Davis also revealed that he tried to secure fights with Lamont Roach Jr. and Oscar Duarte before returning to fight Albright.
“I was on the phone with Lamont Roach trying to make this happen,” Davis said. “I also tried to contact Oscar Duarte.”
The Norfolk native made it clear after the fight that he viewed a rematch with Albright as an inferior option compared to the opponents he originally wanted.
“I wanted to fight a better opponent,” Davis said. “He’s actually a decent player. He’s just not at the highest level.”
Davis dominated most of the rematch despite a two-point deduction after Albright hit the clinch in the seventh round. He controlled the action with faster hands, cleaner combinations and stronger work towards the end of the fight.
After the victory, Davis reiterated that he is open to more fights with bigger names.
“Whoever wants to fight the businessman, let them do it,” Davis said.

Welterweight Kelvin Davis (16-1, 8 KO) escaped with a split decision victory over Peter Dobson (17-4, 10 KO) after a hard-fought 10-round fight that drew noisy boos from the crowd after the result was announced. The judges scored it 99-91 and 97-93 for Davis, while the third judge scored it 98-92 for Dobson.
Davis boxed effectively early on, using his jab, foot movement and reach to keep Dobson out and gain the advantage in the early rounds. Dobson had difficulty getting close enough to land consistently in the first half of the fight as Davis remained disciplined and chose areas with cleaner strikes.
Dobson had more success in the second half of the fight, getting inside and landing to the body. As the action became increasingly brutal and physical, Davis spent more time on the ropes and in clinches.
Dobson’s aggression and work in the middle helped put an end to the fight, and a few delayed rounds proved challenging to score. Davis continued to land enough pointed counters and straight shots to convince the two judges that he had done enough to secure the victory.
Many fans online and in the arena reacted negatively to the decision, especially due to the wide score of 99-91 in favor of Davis. Several unofficial scorecards indicated that the fight was much closer together, and some viewers felt that Dobson did enough to force a draw or provide an advantage in the decision.
