SHAWNEE, Okla. — If one thing is for sure, it's that Keyshawn Davis belongs in professional boxing. Even veteran boxers who have been in the ring for your longer than Davis can't find a way to stop him.
In many of Davis's bouts, youth has triumphed experience -- and Saturday night was no different.
Davis stopped an aggressive 30-year-old Francesco Patera from Belgium, who entered with a mark of 28-3 with 10 KOs. Patera challenged Davis at times. Saturday night's tilt marked the first time Davis has gone 10 rounds.
However, a major knock down in the eighth would be enough to easily sway the judges.
The 24-year-old Olympic silver medalist improved to 9-0 (6 KOs) and ended Patera’s 10-fight winning streak. Patera slipped to 28-4 (10 KOs), but he has not been knocked out in 10 years as a pro.
