A Dream Debut
The atmosphere inside the arena was electric as Davis made his way to the ring, with fans from his hometown packed in to cheer him on. From the moment the bell rang, it was clear that Keon was ready to make the most of his pro debut.
The fight started fast and furious, with Davis immediately asserting his dominance with crisp, sharp punches. His body work was precise, and he landed a series of clean shots early on that had his opponent, J Moore, on the defensive. The crowd roared as Davis showcased his overhand right, a weapon he used effectively to break through Moore’s defense.
Davis’s combination of power and accuracy had Moore struggling to keep up, and it didn’t take long for him to feel the full force of Davis’s skill set. The second round saw Davis land a devastating left hook that visibly shook Moore, leaving him on the back foot.
