Keyshawn Davis vs Edwin de los Santos Preview
Boxing fans are in for a treat this weekend as Keyshawn Davis vs Edwin de los Santos headlines at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia on Saturday evening for US fight fans.
The champion, Keyshawn Davis, puts his WBO World Lightweight Title belt on the line against the dangerous challenger. Although he is expected to win, Davis will have to be wary of Santos’ power given his impressive knockout record.
Davis may well be the best 135-pound fighter in the world already, despite only being 26-years-old. He is a star in the making, and another impressive win this weekend will put the world on notice once again.
On a weekend that also features a Fabio Wardley vs Justis Huni heavyweight clash as well as two other world title fights featuring stars like Junto Nakatani and Jai Opetaia, make sure you don’t miss a future pound-for-pound star in action in Keyshawn Davis.
The lightweight landscape in an intriguing one right now, with Gervonta Davis and Vasyl Lomachenko two other big names in the division. Another 135-pound world champion is in action soon too, as Shakur Stevenson’s next fight draws nearer.
Should he win this weekend, Davis could well feature in some huge unifications going forward against the likes of Stevenson, ‘Tank’ and ‘Loma’. Huge ramifications for the lightweight division this weekend from the Scope Arena.
Davis vs de los Santos Prediction
Keyshawn Davis is fully expected to make a successful first defense of his WBO World Lightweight Title this weekend against Edwin de los Santos.
Davis has won his last two fights via impressive knockout, including against Denys Berinchyk last time out in emphatic fashion. That being said, the Dominican Republic challenger is a huge puncher too and has every chance of landing that knockout blow at any given moment.
Inactivity could be a problem for de los Santos here, who hasn’t fought since November 2023 when he was widely outpointed by Shakur Stevenson for the WBC World Lightweight Title.
At just 25-years-old, de los Santos is actually the younger fighter of the two. However, he has been defeated every time he has stepped up. If he’s on his A-game, this should be a routine victory for Keyshawn Davis.
Here at SportsLens, we are siding with Davis to secure a third successive knockout victory this weekend. The challenger will be dangerous early, but we expect Davis to take over and get the knockout himself during the middle rounds.
SportsLens’ boxing expert prediction: Keyshawn Davis to WIN via KO in Rounds 5-8
