Keyshawn Davis improved to 15-0 (10 KOs) with a wide decision win over Nahir Albright (17-3-1, 7 KOs) on Saturday night in Norfolk, VA. It was a rematch of a 2023 decision victory for Davis that was changed to a No Decision because of a positive test result for marijuana.
Davis clearly won the majority of the rounds but it wasn’t an enjoyable fight to watch. The styles didn’t mesh together and would-be exchanges very quickly became clinches. Albright landed one big overhand right in the middle rounds but wasn’t able to do much else.
Davis missed weight by a small amount and then made weight right at the 140-lb limit. Maybe that’s important and maybe it’s not. There’s always a lot going on with Keyshawn Davis and you either like his act or you don’t.
This was the first Top Rank show on DAZN and it wasn’t exactly a dazzling card. Brian Norman Jr. got back in the win column with a quick TKO2 over Josh Wagner, which was the expected result. Davis’ wide points win over Albright didn’t hold much more drama. It’s good to have Top Rank on the platform if you’re already paying for DAZN, which is quite painful at this point, but one would hope they would provide better matchups than this.
