Keyshawn Davis vs. Gustavo Lemos at lightweight will headline a Top Rank boxing card later tonight (Nov. 8) at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia.
Davis (11-0), undefeated in his professional career, is quickly becoming an indomitable force in the 135-pound division. Currently ranked No.3 on the WBC, WBO, and IBF rankings a win this Friday would get the 25-year-old closer to a title fight against WBO champion Denys Berinchyk.
Standing in his dreams of world title glory is Lemos (29-1), a hard-punching Argentinian powerhouse. The 28-year-old will be coming to the fight itching to get back in the win column after succumbing to his sole professional loss in April against Richardson Hitchins.
A win against Davis would help 'El Electrico' steal his opponent's No.3 spot in the rankings. 'El Electrico' has missed weight by 6 pounds for the fight and would be stepping into the ring with a significant weight advantage.
