00:00Okay, gentlemen, I have given you both the rules.
00:04You know I'm expecting good, clean boxing.
00:07When I say break, stop punching, take a full step back.
00:11Remember, protect yourselves at all times.
00:13Touch gloves, good luck to you both.
00:17Mahir Albright told me he's fighting for his uncle,
00:20Terrell Brown, who is fighting stage four cancer.
00:23However, Kelvin Davis is fighting to represent the 7-5-7.
00:30Norfolk, Virginia gets a great opportunity to shine.
00:34Tim, what makes Kelvin Davis must-watch TV?
00:39Look, I don't know if he must-watch TV, but I'll just tell you this.
00:42You're going to have to watch him tonight.
00:45Knows how to use his height very well.
00:47He's almost in and out.
00:48He's almost one of those fighters that should be fighting at 147 pounds,
00:54but he squeezes down to 140 pounds to give him the advantage.
00:59He has the height advantage.
01:00He also has the reach advantage tonight.
01:02Albright's going to have to get outside himself.
01:05Albright is a counterpuncher, a natural counterpuncher.
01:07He's going to have to get real aggressive, get on the inside,
01:10work the body of Davis,
01:12and not allow him to control the pace in the distance that he want to fight at.
01:15Nihir Albright hasn't had a professional boxing match since that.
01:20No contest, no contest, no contest, no contest, no contest.
01:22No contest, no contest, take step back.
01:22Or no decision against Keyshawn Davis,
01:24who beat Nihir Albright, but then it was overturned
01:27when Keyshawn tested positive for marijuana in Rosenberg, Texas.
01:32That was in October of 2023.
01:35But he's been active 9-4 in 13 TCL fights in 2024 and 2025.
01:41So a different type of boxing activity.
01:44But he gets to face the eldest brother of Keyshawn Davis,
01:48who says, look, Keyshawn's one guy.
01:51I'm going to knock him out.
01:53Let's also mention Albright is moving up from 135
01:56where he fought Keyshawn.
01:58He's moving up to 140 pounds.
01:59So this is a different division for him altogether.
02:02And you can see how heavy those punches are coming from Davis right there.
02:11Albright is going to be about positioning,
02:13the southpaw versus orthodox.
02:15You already know opposites attract.
02:17Those lead hands are going to be battling for position,
02:19you know, trying to find lanes to be able to land their shots.
02:22The right hands line up perfectly when you get that lead foot outside,
02:25the lead foot of your opposition.
02:27And also know the heads collide, right?
02:30There was a brief head collision right there on the chin of Davis
02:34when they're throwing their power shots.
02:37So something to look for while you're watching this match.
02:40It's already starting to get dirty.
02:42And this is the fight that Albright yucks on the inside,
02:46not allowing the taller, longer rangier fighter, Davis, to get off.
02:52There's that stick that Ryan Bommack-McIntyre demands from Kelvin Davis.
03:04See the height differential?
03:08Five-eight versus six-one and a three-and-a-half-inch reach advantage
03:12for Kelvin Davis.
03:12And that allows him to connect combinations like that one.
03:16See, it's early right now,
03:18and Albright is already trying to commit and close that distance.
03:20He needs to be careful, especially in this first round
03:23when you got Kelvin with all that power.
03:25Hey, that was good right there.
03:26Good entry point right there for him as well.
03:28But, man, be careful.
03:30No punts.
03:31No punts.
03:32Because he can leave himself open lunging forward.
03:36First round of this fight in the books here at Norfolk.
03:40Time!
03:43I didn't hear that one.
03:45I didn't catch the ten-second count.
03:47Okay.
03:47He might have got that first round
03:53because he hit you with two little slapping-ass right hands.
03:57You got what you're doing.
04:01You got it.
04:02You're moving to your right, pumping your jab,
04:05but you got to get a little bit more rhythm upstairs, okay?
04:08Maybe get a little rhythm in your legs and shit.
04:11All right?
04:12All right.
04:12Keep popping that jab.
04:14You will see him ramming his stuff up, don't you?
04:16Yeah.
04:16All you got to do is fire it under.
04:18Or look for the half of stuff back and go under.
04:20Or look for the half of stuff back and go around.
04:23Stay there to work.
04:24Don't bounce out.
04:26That's what we're going to have to do.
04:28All right?
04:28First round was a close round,
04:34but even Brian McIntyre said maybe he snuck it with those right hands, Tim.
04:38Absolutely.
04:39Just a bunch of choice against the southpaw.
04:42You want to try to land that right hand,
04:44and again, it's about positioning and getting that lead foot outside
04:46to be able to line up that right hand.
04:48And Albright was able to do that in that last round.
04:53Take a look at that right hand from Albright,
04:57and he set it up perfectly, lunged.
05:01It was a nice little jab thing.
05:03A small little thing right there with the lead hand.
05:06You know, Davis thought that he was going to battle with him with the lead hand.
05:11Possibly.
05:11No, he didn't.
05:12He didn't.
05:12He just flecked it out there, disguised it,
05:15and then threw that right hand behind.
05:16Both fighters come from fighting families for Kelvin Davis.
05:23He's the eldest of the three brothers,
05:25followed by Keyshawn, the former world champion,
05:27and Kelvin who got a big knockout earlier on in our undercard.
05:31Their mother, Wanda, is the manager on the other side.
05:34Now, here Albright.
05:34His sister, Damaris Dawkins, is a pro wrestler.
05:37His younger brother, Isaiah Johnson, is a pro.
05:39His father, Terrence Brown, and his swim brother, Terrell Brown,
05:42were also professional fighters.
05:44He's the first player, so, I'm talking about pedigree.
05:48He's the first player.
05:51He's the first player.
05:53He's the first player.
05:54He's the first player!
05:55Tonight's main event will now feature Abdullah Mason, 18-0, 16 knockouts,
06:02as a pro.
06:03WBO's number two lightweight contender to the belt that is now vacant after
06:07Keyshawn Davis missed weight by walking 4.3 pounds his first
06:12hometown title defense was cancelled when Edwin de los Santos did not agree
06:17to the terms of giving up that size advantage and so now that belt will be
06:22up for grabs in the very near future all of Dela needs to do is win tonight's
06:25main event against the always tough Jeremiah Nakatula
06:34overhand right just missed for Albright Davis is a calculated counter puncher so
06:42he's gonna sit outside he's gonna attempt to allow Albright Albright to commit
06:49with some offense so he can counter it
06:52and look I was that he's been dropped once before on the Canelo undercard and
07:02you see oh that should have been a knockdown because he was trying to hold on
07:06his but here Albright was looking to punish him
07:12nice uppercuts from the here Albright and here comes the man they call Wu and now
07:18we know what he's here to wreck the party
07:25it's important for for Davis to try to tie it up so he can clear his head
07:31it's it is extremely important right now especially for the Davis brothers right
07:37now you already lost one
07:43he's dropped in his second pro fight by John Marsonic on Canelo Billy Joe Saunders at
07:49the end of round four by a right hand and that almost happened here
07:53Tim absolutely let's listen in hey when you see that water put some water
08:00you got caught because you got you was pulling out okay
08:03all right and you were still you had no rhythm
08:06you got to get some rhythm son you got this you got you got to get up on the toes a
08:10little bit you got a box give me a deep breath
08:12come on that was his one lucky shot you see you see everything you're looking for
08:17he's looking for one shot that's all he got he can't jab Richie and he can't cover Richie
08:22perfect entry point right here from Albright sending up off two jabs to close the range
08:28to occupy the eyes of Davis and then it's some work on the inside right there
08:34Davis is trying to tie up nice little roll right there from him to avoid that hard right hand
08:39there's Keyshawn Davis looking at his brother as he's taking those punches he think he's alright
08:48he's saying he's okay he's okay he saw his eyes he saw the way he was responding
08:52however that was a dang good round from Albright if you're his team you're happy with the work
08:58that he's done this far the crowd trying to get their man up and hype Kelvin Davis they're on their feet
09:06hoping he can get back into this fight oh nice right left combination by Albright
09:12it's the level change that Davis is not anticipating and it's a fight that's about to break out baby
09:19let's go
09:26crowd on its feet here inside the scope arena sold over 10,000 tickets over 2,000 of them said give me
09:33my money back once Keyshawn Davis lost his belt on the scale but now it's Kelvin Davis' moment
09:39to fight through in this battle against Lahir Albright
09:43yeah Davis is not respecting a level change he's pulling straight back and Albright is attacking off that level change
09:48all he's doing is squatting down
09:50bending those knees and he's coming up he's looking for that overhand right
09:54there it is again
09:55and tip sometimes you say okay this guy is at a disadvantage because of the length and height of Kelvin Davis
10:03but if you know how to use it it can be to your advantage
10:07you know if you know how to exactly use it it can be to your advantage but at the same time
10:13there's some holes in Davis' game
10:17that Albright understands he sees that he's doing a level change and Davis is not squatting down with him
10:23and he sees that Davis is not moving his head out the way his head is directly on the center line
10:29and when you see that being experienced as Davis
10:32I mean excuse me it's Albright
10:34you gotta take advantage of those opportunities all day
10:37just keep looking at that head of Davis
10:39look where he's centered all the time see if he gets a head off the line
10:43oh stop stop
10:44he did there Albright just missed
10:46moments ago you saw the entire Davis family
10:49mom Wanda who's their manager Keyshawn Keyon
10:53grandma in the house
10:55and there was concern for how effective Albright has been in the first three rounds against
11:01Caldera is again clipped again let it right
11:04see the taller opposition what they do is they pull straight back out of range
11:08they're used to being a taller fighter
11:10so they pull themselves back out of range
11:12they don't necessarily drop and bend their knees and get underneath shots
11:17so that overhand right is gonna be there all night long
11:21let's see if Davis can make the adjustment
11:23well he throws to the body finally and that changes the rhythm of the fight momentarily for Davis
11:29and let's also remember that Davis got firepower of his own
11:33that uppercut can find his way home
11:36he can catch Albright lunging forward with that right hand with the number cut
11:40eight knockouts and 15 fights for Kelvin Davis seven knockouts
11:45and 16 victories for the year Albright
11:48make this rough here as we close out round three
11:55they've taken over and they're the last two rounds of the year Albright
12:04have an indication for that last night
12:07and they're started with the load of the group on the driver's side
12:09they need it all in the middle of the road
12:11but they're still trying to get a little bit more
12:13the next year off the road
12:15they still take a little bit more
12:16ehe had a little bit more
12:19and stay inside don't pop out stay keep working and shift your body shit skip
12:46skip skip all right responsible let's go baby
12:56norfolk virginia came out of course to see the davis brothers fight tonight it's kelvin davis's
13:01turn right now and he's having some trouble with mayor albright tim early on again that level
13:07change right there you see the squat bend his knees come up with the overhand right but look at
13:13the thumb going right into the eye of davis you got to pay attention to see if that eye is going to
13:20swell up yeah lovely davis for him he's got one of the best in the business jacob stitch duran working
13:27cuts in the corner of kelvin davis good start for kelvin here in round number four letting his hands
13:33go as he was admonished by ryan bomec mcintyre in the corner
13:42man there's fights where things are not going the way you planned them to go
13:47you know and sometimes you just have to forget the game plan throw it out the window and you just
13:57got to go in there and fight and go in there and win and just be instinctual that's what davis is going
14:02to have to do right now he's going to have to get instinctual use his experience
14:07all right with the inside work here until referee malik waheed breaks him up
14:18and that one two from davis trying to use his range
14:24because it's like you don't want to give you don't want to give albright confidence yeah he
14:28hurt you and that like you want to you want to get some get back you don't want to allow him to build
14:33confidence and keep coming forward and being aggressive you got to give him something to
14:36worry about that's what you have to do oh nice body shot from davis and albright answers with the
14:42right of his own small adjustment right there from davis he's getting out of the way of that luka
14:48right hand he knows it's coming now so he's expecting it he's a half a step ahead of it right now
14:54that's why he's making it miss he sees it coming and you can see he's clear-eyed the way his eyes are
15:00tracking their albright's movements now yes and then he's doing the right thing he's along the
15:07ropes he knew he's along the ropes he stepped in and tied up albright don't lean on him don't lean
15:16okay stop no punching no punching
15:21that's the offense i'm talking about then he popped up with a one two quick one two down
15:24the middle to give him something to think about oh he got caught oh he got to get a right from
15:29the year albright and once again calvin davis is on shaky legs and he's holding on for deer right
15:35he's doing the right thing he's showing the right signs that he's okay because you have to tie up
15:40when you get buzzed like that that's a low blow by albright but he looks back and he's fighting back
15:47that's what i'm talking about man oh another solid run hey from the here albright and then three lefts
15:53on the inside and davis almost tackles albright
16:09so
16:17so
16:19so
16:21so
16:25so
16:27so
16:31Come on, you gotta work your way back, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, we
16:56gotta get this, you got it, you got it, baby, okay, you got it, give me a deep breath.
17:01Round 5 of the schedule, 10-round fight, Kelvin Davis, Naheer, Albright, Bernardo Sun alongside
17:09Tim Bradley.
17:10Tim, you reach.
17:11I teach, baby.
17:12That's what Albright did right here in this sequence.
17:15Beautiful right hand just being in position to let that right hand go, but it was off a
17:20jab because Davis reached with a shot.
17:23He reached with that right hook right there, and then what did he do after?
17:28Pulled straight back because taller opposition.
17:31That's what they do.
17:32They pull straight back.
17:33It's a bad habit that they develop because they're always fighting short of me.
17:37All right, let's bring in Mark Krieger with his unofficial scorecard through four rounds.
17:4239, 37, three rounds to one.
17:46Naheer Albright, who came in to McFadden and Whitehead, Big Philly song, spoke to his cut
17:51man, Michael Pobani, says, that eye abrasion.
17:54They give me a prop to handle.
17:57Mark Krieger usually really good with a 1960s music reference.
18:01But my man came up big.
18:03Whoa.
18:0420, 25.
18:05Oh, my goodness.
18:06My goodness.
18:07Oh, I like what Albright is doing.
18:15He's faking.
18:16He's doing some pre-slips right now.
18:18You'll see him drifting, going to his lead foot.
18:21He'll move his head to the left.
18:23Right now, he's cutting off the ring right now, trying to cut off the escape of Davis.
18:29He's disguising that right hand with those pre-slips.
18:32He's rotating his shoulders like he's going to throw that looping right hand, but he doesn't
18:36throw it.
18:37He's trying to time it.
18:39And you'll recall Albright lost a majority decision against Keyshawn Davis, the middle
18:45brother of Kelvin Davis, who eventually went on to become the lightweight world champion.
18:50Lost that belt on the scale this Friday's off the card when his fight against Edwin Delos
18:55Santos was canceled.
18:56But what I'm getting to at is Albright is no soft touch.
19:00No, he isn't.
19:01No, but this is the fight that Davis wanted.
19:03He picked Albright.
19:04He said, I want to challenge.
19:05He's testing himself tonight.
19:07I expected a dang good fight tonight.
19:11I expected this type of fight.
19:21Subtle faints right there from Albright again, changing it up, changing up his rhythm.
19:25Then sneaking behind those feints, those foot feints.
19:33There's that double jab from Albright.
19:36Short jab turned hook and then another jab.
19:39Albright putting a lot of pressure on Davis.
19:42You know, this is Davis' first 10-rounder.
19:45He's putting a lot of pressure on him.
19:48A lot of mental pressure.
19:50A lot of physical pressure on him.
19:52He's making a miss with a lot of his shots as well.
19:54But he's staying close enough to try to counter.
19:57He's making what he's doing believable.
20:01We're halfway through this fight.
20:03Time!
20:04Time!
20:05Time!
20:06Time!
20:07Time!
20:08Time!
20:09Time!

20:26Time!
20:27Time!
20:28Time!
20:29Time!
20:30Time!
20:31He's faster than he is.
20:55Keep boxing.
21:01It's been on the air, Albright, in the first half of this fight against Kelvin Davis to open up our ESPN broadcast.
21:15But now, let's see what answers Kelvin Davis can come up with alongside Brian Bomek McIntyre over there in the red corner.
21:24The reason why this fight is heating up is because in the first round, Albright, he said,
21:33You think I'm here to box you? I'm here to fight you from the first round.
21:39Completely got out of his element because Albright is a counter-cluncher, man.
21:43Sweet boxer. Likes to fight on the outside, can fight off the back foot as well.
21:46But he's coming forward tonight. He's taking the fight to Davis.
21:51That's the reason why we got to fight people.
21:53The DB3 team is Keyshawn Davis, Keon Davis, and Kelvin Davis.
21:59You can see the concern in the former world champion's face.
22:02Because Nair Albright, who gave him all he could handle, is giving his older brother, Kelvin, all he can handle tonight in their hometown on Harbor Week.
22:16They already had the disappointment of Keyshawn losing his belt and not fighting tonight, missing out on a million-dollar payday.
22:23And now, the unbeaten record of Kelvin Davis is in danger.
22:28Just a little bit off the mark. Raisinblow, right hand.
22:32Nice little angle right there from Albright. Looking for that looping right hand.
22:36You know, Southpaw's are used to straight right hands coming, but the looping shots, they're in frame and then they're out of frame.
22:44They're hard to see. You see that backhand of Davis is blocking his vision as he holds it up above his left eye.
22:55That's the reason why that right hand is sneaking over the top.
22:58Moments ago, we saw Jeremiah Nakatila, who will be in tonight's main event.
23:05The former world title challenger will look to break his negative mark against undefeated fighters after losses to Shakur Stevenson in a title fight.
23:16Raymond Murataya, the current IBF interim champion and uber prospect Ernesto Mercado.
23:23Now he has to face probably the hottest prospect in the game today.
23:26Now a contender of Dilla Mason in tonight's main event.
23:29Number three.
23:30Davis yet to figure out how to stop Nair Albright's forward progress.
23:40You see that body shot from Albright.
23:42And he's staying tight right now.
23:44Davis is staying along those rows squared up.
23:46I mean, Davis needs to conjure up some magic here to get the crowd into it and get himself going, Tim.
23:55Oh, big left hook right there.
23:58I don't know if it landed.
23:59Might have been partially blocked or even...
24:01Might even got out of the way of it.
24:03There's another.
24:04Yeah, graze and blows.
24:04Oh, big shot right there.
24:07They changed.
24:12Man.
24:20Man.
24:21Man.
24:22Man.
24:23Man.
24:24Man.
24:25Man.
24:26Man.
24:28Man.
24:29Man.
24:30Man.
24:31Man.
24:32Man.
24:33Man.
24:34Man.
24:34Man.
25:04Keon Davis the youngest of the Davis brothers what a liver shot he delivered on our undercard against Michael Vales sent him crawling back to his corner for his fourth professional win and three of those consecutively have come by knockout after making his debut in this same building last November on a DB3 undercard nice right hand here from there Albright the concern on Kelvin Davis's corner his brothers Keon
25:34and Keeshawn are visibly trying to egg him on to do something different and change the tide of this fight Tim absolutely I mean they see exactly what I see you know Albright again is gaining more and more steam each round he's pressing forward he's changed that right hand from the looping right hand now he's throwing it straight down the pipe but nope nice right hand again
26:01but what I like what Albright is doing is he's not stepping straight back anytime that you see Davis shoot any punches he's stepping inside
26:12explain why that's important Tim because Davis got the longer arms so if you step back out of range you can allow him to extend with those long arms but if you step in you shorten
26:24those arms you take them away and you know what the jab is the best punch you can use as a tall fighter and Kelvin Davis after doing it in his last fight against Jose Marufo to get the win is not able to do it against
26:38Lair Albright and in the corner Bommack was telling Kelvin look you've got to work behind the jab because if not you're just going through the motions and you're going to lose this fight
26:50one of the most interesting things right now that I'm seeing is is that Albright even although he's a 135 pounder he seems to be stronger than Davis on the inside more physical yes he got the shorter arm so he can work them however he seems to be the stronger of the two on the inside reminds me of what you said in the first round
27:09melting himself down to 140 pounds when you are six foot long at some point it catches up to you
27:17absolutely it caught up to his brother and now it may be catching up to him
27:20it's a cut cut on the eye I believe I see blood on the right eye of Albright
27:24not sure if that's from a punch or a butt however we got the best in the business in the truck they gonna find it
27:34they will find you need a little I think we need a little bit more work from Davis a little bit more that nice that's sniping that's the uppercut and sometimes seeing that blood
27:46trim Tim will wake you up absolutely and that's what it's done for coming Davis that's what I'm talking about
27:53finally letting his hands go here in the seventh round and what he's doing is he's getting down to his level
28:01I love it he's getting down see him bending his knees now he eye level he has an advantage now he can see if the lupus shot is on come and he can get underneath it also he can use those long arms and they're the same height
28:14people don't know nothing about that seven rounds they don't know nothing about that the fight may change down the stretch here on top right boxing on ESPN
28:31how do you feel good got to cut cut you feel good all right
28:53Hold this hand.
28:56All right.
28:57You got to outstep him.
28:59He's throwing that one-two like I told you.
29:01Use that sweet roll.
29:03It's there all day long.
29:06He's bending his knees now.
29:08He's shorting his height.
29:10Use the sweet roll on him.
29:11All right.
29:13You're doing it.
29:15Okay.
29:16Look, look.
29:16Do you see those right hands coming down?
29:18They slow.
29:18Slow as fuck.
29:19Fuck, right?
29:20Now you can step to him behind the double jab
29:22and then let that left hand go.
29:24And then bring that left hand under.
29:25Okay?
29:26Come on, baby.
29:27You got it.
29:27Come on.
29:28Come on.
29:28Come on.
29:28You got it.
29:29We can't do this belt here.
29:34Round eight of the schedule.
29:36Ten-round fight.
29:38And referee Malik Waleed didn't make a signal
29:42in terms of the cut on the right eyelid of Nier.
29:46Albright being a headbutt or a headflash.
29:50Crucial moments and crucial determinations to be made
29:54because we saw what happened with Navarrete and Suarez.
29:59Albright on the offense once again
30:01and Davis trying to counter.
30:03I understand that Davis is trying to get in the rhythm.
30:07Trying to change his pace up,
30:09but he got to be careful.
30:10Albright is staying close enough to be able to counter.
30:12He's going to catch him while he's bouncing
30:13up and down when his feet are off the ground.
30:16Perfect time to rush in there and take chances
30:19if you Albright.
30:24See?
30:24There it is again.
30:25Catch him on the way out.
30:26And those punches are small shots,
30:28but they look like they're doing some damage
30:30because the way that Davis has reacted to him
30:34being off balance because his feet are in the air.
30:39Albright says you're going to keep moving.
30:40I'm going to hit you with a stab jab
30:42and set up the overhand right.
30:43Watch your hands.
30:48We're short left hook there from Albright
30:50on the inside.
30:53Again, that pressure is starting to add up for Albright.
30:56Walking in behind that high guard again.
30:58All that wrestling and tussling on the inside,
31:00that takes a lot out of you.
31:02It does.
31:02Albright understands that it knows that.
31:08Albright reaching here in round eight.
31:12But he's not getting disciplined by Davis.
31:14No, Albright just staying real low.
31:18Staying real low.
31:19Below C level.
31:20There he is.
31:21Left uppercut for Davis.
31:22Catching him as he was moving out.
31:24You see the combinations of follow-up.
31:26There wasn't a whole, I mean, look,
31:27there wasn't a whole lot of shots that were big.
31:29However, the volume is what I'm looking at.
31:32Both fighters right now are just resting right now.
31:44They're resting.
31:47Inside work from Albright.
31:50The fighter that's more consistent right now
31:53is Albright.
31:54He's consistent.
31:55Again, another right hand.
31:58Snug it.
31:59Snug it in again.
32:02No punch.
32:07The right hand there.
32:09Albright leaned down like he was going to go downstairs
32:12and he popped the right hand.
32:14Being deceptive.
32:15That's how you do it.
32:18It's like, almost like a no-look pass.
32:20Right?
32:21Basketball, no-look pass.
32:24They're sneaking that right hand,
32:25getting outside.
32:26That vision.
32:27The lead vision of Davis.
32:31What do they say?
32:33An image says more than a thousand words.
32:35No.
32:44What do they say?
33:14Cook under, just like with shit that we work on.
33:25It's real easy.
33:26All right?
33:27Come on.
33:27You got it, man.
33:28We can't do it, man.
33:34Yeah.
33:38Round nine of a scheduled 10-round fight.
33:42Kelvin Davis in the year.
33:44Albright.
33:45Mark Kriegel.
33:46What does your unofficial scorecard look like through eight?
33:4978, 74, six rounds to two.
33:54You know, Albright hasn't fought in two-plus years.
33:58Never fought at this weight before.
34:00He's about 140-pounder.
34:01Phillies in the house.
34:02He was active, though, in those short fights, the TCL, I think, with 14 fights.
34:10But it doesn't matter, Tim.
34:11What matters is what we're seeing right now.
34:13John Bomack telling Kelvin Davis, you have to stay off the ropes.
34:17That looks terrible.
34:18Keep it clean.
34:19It does look terrible.
34:20Let him go.
34:21Let him go.
34:21But what would help Davis is if he can establish a solid jab outside.
34:30Establish his distance outside.
34:32Break.
34:33No punching.
34:33Take a step.
34:34Take a step.
34:34He's having a hard time doing that.
34:35Let his arm go.
34:36And what Albright did, he's slipping past that jab, and he's coming with that right hand.
34:41He's doing it off a head movement.
34:43Look, Davis has a five-inch height advantage, a three-and-a-half-inch reach advantage,
34:47and yet he's being beat to the punch by Nair Albright, who's moving up in weight on top of all the physical disadvantages.
34:55See, get on that jab.
34:56Get on that jab.
34:57Nice little change right there.
34:59Left hand.
35:00Getting a little bit more busier with his backhand.
35:02That's great.
35:03Let's keep it Albright.
35:04He has to respect that power coming from Davis.
35:09Just keeping him at bay.
35:14Let him know.
35:15Let's get on his head.
35:18Break.
35:26You're holding.
35:27You're holding.
35:27Fight's starting to get real ugly.
35:46Real sloppy fight right now by both fighters.
35:50And that favors Albright completely because he's putting the work in the middle round still.
35:56And he's making him use his legs as well.
35:58Albright is.
36:00And I almost feel like the taller fighter got to make Albright use his legs.
36:07Like, you've got to learn how to lean on the shorter man.
36:12Lean on him.
36:13You get yourself compromised and pull his head down.
36:17You know, force him to use his legs.
36:20Don't allow him to throw those punches in close like he's doing.
36:24All right.
36:2982 power punches landed through nine rounds for the year.
36:33Albright compared to 40 for Calvin Davis.
36:36That tells the story of this fight.
36:41Trade left hand.
36:42That was nice.
36:42See you.
37:12Smartly, be responsible and be precise, you heard?
37:36All right, let's go, let's go.
37:37Check this out.
37:38Last round, we're touching him up.
37:41And now, ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together.
37:43Norfolk, Virginia, has an undefeated fighter in the ring right now.
37:47Kelvin Davis, 15-0 with eight knockouts.
37:49He may need to make it nine knockouts to come away with the win against Nahir Albright,
37:54who lost the majority decision against Keyshawn Davis, Kelvin's middle brother,
37:59who then had it overturned when he tested positive for marijuana,
38:04because that fight took place in Texas.
38:06Tonight, though, Nahir Albright came to fight him.
38:09Oh, and he lands a nice left hook there early on in round 10.
38:17Albright, he's still looking for that knockout.
38:19Still energetic, high energy.
38:23Been the same all night for most of the night, besides that last round when both men seem to be gasping for air,
38:31getting a little sloppy.
38:33See, that's exactly what I was talking about right there.
38:35That's the position that you want to get Albright in, where you compromise him.
38:38You force him to use his legs.
38:39He still didn't quite push down on his head, though.
38:41He should have.
38:43Nice short left uppercut by Davis after a good lead left.
38:49He just needs to let his hands go at this point.
38:51Go for broke.
38:53Catch Albright reaching.
39:01You've got to give Albright a lot of credit for his game plan tonight.
39:04Yeah, absolutely.
39:05I mean, look, you've got to fight a certain—you've got to fight different game plans.
39:10You've got to have a lot in your bag of tools, you know?
39:14Even if you're a counter puncher, you like to fight off your back foot, you've got to learn how to go forward.
39:19Albright has all the skills needed to do whatever's needed to get the job done tonight.
39:25Take a step back.
39:26You know, but I've got to say I respect Kelvin.
39:29I respect Kelvin Davis, you know, because he's willing to take a fight like this.
39:34This is a risky fight for him.
39:35Whether he win or lose tonight, I don't know.
39:37I'm not a judge.
39:39You know, I respect the fact that he was willing to take this challenge tonight against a tough Romney fighter like Albright.
39:46And you know what?
39:47He didn't fault him.
39:48He got hurt early on in this fight.
39:49Yes.
39:50And he just—
39:51Oh, what a big shot.
39:52But stuff like that happens.
39:53But Albright just walked through it and just kept coming.
39:56Oh, there's another left uppercut.
39:58It's a good round for Davis.
40:00Picking his spots wisely.
40:04Yeah, you're absolutely right.
40:06Oh, nice right hand from Albright.
40:11They didn't have the same zip as they did earlier on.
40:13No.
40:14And then you see the legs also on Davis as well.
40:17A little rubbery.
40:1920 seconds left here in the 10th and final round.
40:29Who will win?
40:32Who wants it more?
40:35Who's willing to put their stamp on this 10th and final round?
40:38And for now it's Albright.
40:39Shoes shining but letting his hands go.
40:42Oh!
40:43Spinning top!
40:44I know.
40:45See now.
40:46That was different, baby.
40:49Wasn't a pretty fight, Tim.
40:51No, it wasn't pretty.
40:52But you know what?
40:53Dang, it was a fight.
40:54It was a fight.
40:55It was a fight.
40:56It was interesting early.
40:57That's for dang Joe.
40:58Real interesting early.
40:59But what's going to be real interesting is the scorecards.
41:03That's going to be interesting.
41:05What are you trying to tell me, Tim?
41:08Let's see the spinorama here from Albright.
41:11Man.
41:12He was tied up, Tim, and explain what he did.
41:14I ain't never seen this before, man.
41:15And this is past Ole right here.
41:18He found a little hole right there.
41:19He said, okay, I'm going to spin out.
41:21Boom, I'm going to try to catch you with that hook.
41:23Got him on the shoulder.
41:24Oh, my goodness.
41:25Yeah, that was definitely creative from Albright.
41:29Top-ranked boxing on ESPN.
41:33It's brought to you by Gorilla Glue for the toughest jobs on the planet.
41:38You don't need 100 types of glues.
41:40You just need Gorilla Glue.
41:42All right, so what do you take away from this fight?
41:45Because Nair Albright got off to a great start.
41:48Kelvin Davis had his moment.
41:50Let's walk through these highlights, Timmy.
41:52No, that right hand, man.
41:54I mean, that's the punch that I remember most from Albright landing early and often.
42:00You know, he kept changing it, man.
42:02You know, he was changing his levels, sneaking him over the top of looping right hands.
42:07You know, and then as the rounds continued, he was throwing a straight right hand down the middle.
42:12You know, what I liked about Albright's game tonight was the fact that he kept giving different looks.
42:18You know, and that threw off Davis.
42:21Davis tonight, he had his moments where, you know, he did some damage from the outside.
42:26You know, straight left hands or whatnot, but he got hit clean with shots like that, man.
42:32I mean, those shots right there are appealing to a judge.
42:36However, look, we in the hometown of Davis, and you know this is boxing.
42:42We've seen some crazy scorecards.
42:44However, tonight, I think Albright won this fight, to be honest with you.
42:48I'm giving you a definitive.
42:49Hey, Albright won this fight tonight.
42:51He won it on the numbers, landing 54 more punches than Kelvin Davis.
42:57On the power shot side, 112 to 72.
43:00That's 40 more punches than Kelvin Davis was able to connect on.
43:04But, Tim, we know what happened with hometown fights.
43:08Mark Kriegel, what does your unofficial scorecard look like through 10?
43:1398-92.
43:15Nahir Albright.
43:16Give him all the credit in the world for coming up in weight, for coming off the layoff, and for hitting him with the right hand.
43:229 and 10 with swing rounds.
43:23They could have gone either way.
43:25I thought that Albright pulled it out for me at the end.
43:28But I've got to give the guy a lot of credit, man, coming into another man's hometown like that.
43:31We remind you, Nahir Albright lost a majority decision against Keyshawn Davis that was overturned.
43:38How did he do against Kelvin Davis in his hometown?
43:41Michael C. Williams with the judges' decision.
43:44Ladies and gentlemen, having gone the distance, we'll go now to your three judges' scoring at ringside.
43:52Your first judge, Brian Costello, sees the fight 95 to 95.
43:59He has it even.
44:02That scorecard, however, overruled by judges Dave Braslow, seeing it 97-93.
44:09And Judge Paul Wallace, scoring it 96 to 94.
44:13Both having it for the winner by majority decision.
44:18And now the new silver USWBC junior welterweight champion,
44:24Pretty Boy Woo Nahir Albright!
44:33The man who did the work got the victory tonight.
44:37And he stuns the crowd.
44:39He stuns the Davis family.
44:41And what a weekend it's been for Keyshawn and now for Kelvin Davis,
44:46who loses his undefeated record.
44:47But credit to Nahir Albright.
44:49Oh, major credit.
44:51I mean, coming in...
