SportsTranscript
00:00Ladies and gentlemen from Scope Arena here in Northwood, live on ESPN, we're set for the co-main event of the evening.
00:13Ten rounds for the vacant silver USWBC junior welterweight championship.
00:20Presented by Bob Arum's Top Rank Incorporated and brought to you by Miller Lite.
00:24Cheers to another round of Miller Time, DraftKings Sportsbook, The Crown Is Yours, by the refreshing taste of twisted tea, hard iced tea, keep it twisted, and by seven venues.
00:39And now introducing first, fighting out of the blue corner.
00:46Presented in association with Rodney Rice's RDR Promotions.
00:50He wears the animal print with red and black, weighing in 139 pounds even as a professional.
00:5716 wins seven by knockout against just two losses.
01:02Fighting out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Nahir, pretty boy, World of Rights.
01:12And his adversary, fighting out of the red corner, presented in association with DB3 Promotions.
01:26He wears the black and blue, weighing in 140 pounds even.
01:32The fast-rising prospect is an undefeated professional already, totaling 15 wins without a defeat.
01:39Eight of those victories coming by knockout.
01:43Representing the seven cities and fighting out of right here in Norfolk, Virginia,
01:50Calvin Night-Night-Davis!
01:57And now your referee to give instructions, Malik Waleed.
02:07Okay, gentlemen, I have given you both the rules.
02:10You know I'm expecting good, clean boxing.
02:13When I say break, stop punching, take a full step back.
02:17Remember, protect yourselves at all times.
02:19Touch gloves, good luck to you both.
02:21Here, Albright told me he's fighting for his uncle, Terrell Brown, who is fighting stage four cancer.
02:32Kelvin Davis is fighting to represent the 7-5-7.
02:37Norfolk, Virginia gets a great opportunity to shine.
02:40Tim, what makes Kelvin Davis must-watch TV?
02:46Look, I don't know if he must-watch TV, but I'll just tell you this.
02:49You're going to have to watch him tonight.
02:51Knows how to use his height very well.
02:54He's almost one of those fighters that should be fighting at 147 pounds,
03:01but he squeezes down to 140 pounds to give him the advantage.
03:05He has the height advantage.
03:07He also has the reach advantage tonight.
03:09Albright's going to have to get outside himself.
03:11Albright is a counterpuncher, a natural counterpuncher.
03:13He's going to have to get real aggressive, get on the inside, work the body of Davis,
03:18and not allow him to control the pace and the distance that he'd want to fight at.
03:22Nick, Albright hasn't had a professional boxing match since that.
03:27No contest, no contest, no contest.
03:28No contest, take step back.
03:29Or no decision against Keyshawn Davis, who beat Nahir Albright,
03:32but then it was overturned when Keyshawn tested positive for marijuana in Rosenberg, Texas.
03:38That was in October of 2023, but he's been active 9-4 in 13 TCL fights in 2024 and 2025.
03:48So a different type of boxing activity,
03:50but he gets to face the eldest brother of Keyshawn Davis,
03:55who says, look, Keyshawn's one guy.
03:57I'm going to knock him out.
03:59Let's also mention Albright is moving up from 135 where he fought Keyshawn.
04:04He's moving up to 140 pounds, so this is a different division for him altogether.
04:08And you can see how heavy those punches are coming from Davis right there.
04:17Albright is going to be about positioning, the southpaw versus the orthodox.
04:21You already know, opposites attract.
04:23Those lead hands are going to be battling for position, you know,
04:26trying to find lanes to be able to land your shots.
04:28The right hands line up perfectly when you get that lead foot outside,
04:32the lead foot of your opposition.
04:33And also know the heads collide, right?
04:37There was a brief head collision right there on the chin of Davis
04:40when they're throwing their power shots.
04:44So something to look for while you're watching this match.
04:47It's already starting to get dirty, and this is the fight that Albright wants.
04:51On the inside, not allowing the taller, longer-ranger fighter, Davis, to get off.
05:01There's that stick that Ryan Bommack-McIntyre demands from Kelvin Davis.
05:08See the height differential?
05:155'8 versus 6'1 and a 3 1⁄2-inch reach advantage for Kelvin Davis,
05:19and that allows him to connect combinations like that one.
05:23See, it's early right now, and Albright is already trying to commit
05:26and close that distance.
05:27He needs to be careful, especially in this first round
05:29when you got Kelvin with all that power.
05:31Hey, that was good right there.
05:33Good entry point right there for him as well.
05:34But, man, be careful because he can leave himself open lunging forward.
05:42First round of this fight in the books here at Norfolk.
05:46Tony!
05:49I didn't hear that one.
05:51I didn't catch the 10-second count.
05:53Okay.
05:56Hey.
05:57Hey.
05:58He might have got that first round because he hit you with two little slaps,
06:02slapping-ass right hands.
06:03You got what you're doing.
06:08You got it.
06:09You're moving to your right, pumping your jab,
06:12but you got to get a little bit more rhythm upstairs, okay?
06:14All right.
06:15Maybe get a little rhythm in your legs and shit.
06:17All right?
06:18All right.
06:19Keep popping that jab.
06:20You will see him ramming himself up, don't you?
06:22Yeah.
06:23All you got to do is fire it under.
06:25Or look for the half of the stuff back and go under.
06:27Or look for the half of the stuff back and go around.
06:29Stay there to work.
06:30Don't bounce out.
06:32That's my moment I'm blowing time.
06:34All right?
06:35First round was a close round,
06:40but even Brian McIntyre said maybe he snuck it with those right hands, Tim.
06:45Absolutely.
06:45Just a bunch of choice against the southpaw.
06:48You want to try to land that right hand,
06:50and again, it's about positioning and getting that lead foot outside
06:53to be able to line up that right hand,
06:56and Albright was able to do that in that last round.
06:59Take a look at that right hand from Albright,
07:04and he set it up perfectly, lunged.
07:07It was a nice little jab thing,
07:10a small little thing right there with the lead hand.
07:13You know, Davis thought that he was going to battle him with the lead hand, possibly.
07:18No, he didn't.
07:19He just flecked it out there, disguised it,
07:21and then threw that right hand behind.
07:24Both fighters come from fighting families.
07:27For Kelvin Davis, he's the eldest of the three brothers,
07:31followed by Keyshawn, the former world champion,
07:34and Kelvin who got a big knockout earlier on in our undercard.
07:37Their mother, Wanda, is the manager on the other side.
07:40Now here, Albright, his sister, Damaris Dawkins, is a pro wrestler.
07:43His younger brother, Isaiah Johnson, is a pro.
07:46His father, Terrence Brown, and his swim brother, Terrell Brown,
07:49were also professional fighters.
07:51So, I'm talking about pedigree, yeah.
07:55I'm talking about pedigree.
07:56What you need, what you need, what you need.
08:01Tonight's main event will now feature Abdallah Mason.
08:0518-0, 16 knockouts as a pro.
08:09The WBO's number two lightweight contender to the belt that is now vacant
08:13after Keyshawn Davis missed weight by a whopping 4.3 pounds.
08:18His first hometown title defense was canceled when Edwin De Los Santos did not agree to the terms
08:24of giving up that size advantage.
08:27And so now, that belt will be up for grabs in the very near future.
08:30All Abdallah needs to do is win tonight's main event against the always tough Jeremiah Nakatula.
08:36Oh, overhand right just missed for Albright.
08:45Davis is a calculated counter puncher.
08:48So, he's going to sit outside.
08:50He's going to attempt to allow Albright to commit with some offense so he can counter it.
08:57And look, how was that?
09:02Oh, how about that?
09:04There it is.
09:04He's been dropped once before on the Canelo undercard.
09:09And you see, oh, that should have been a knockdown because he was trying to hold on.
09:13But here Albright was looking to punish him.
09:19Nice uppercuts from the here Albright.
09:21And here comes the man they call Wu.
09:24And now we know why.
09:25He's here to wreck the party.
09:31It's important for Davis to try to tie it up so he can clear his head.
09:38It's extremely important right now.
09:41Especially for the Davis brothers right now.
09:44They already lost one.
09:49He's dropped in his second pro fight by John Marsalek on Canelo.
09:54Billy Joe Saunders at the end of round four by a right hand.
09:58And that almost happened here, Tim.
10:02Absolutely.
10:03Let's listen in.
10:04Hey.
10:05When you see that water, put some water.
10:07You got caught because you got, you was pulling out.
10:09Okay?
10:10And you was still.
10:12You had no rhythm.
10:13You got to get some rhythm, son.
10:14You got to get up on your toes a little bit.
10:17You got to box.
10:17Give me a deep breath.
10:18Come on.
10:21That was his one lucky shot.
10:22You see, you see everything you're looking for.
10:24You're looking for one shot.
10:25That's all he got.
10:26He can't jab, Richie.
10:27That's heard.
10:28Perfect entry point right here from Albright.
10:31Sending up off two jabs to close the range to occupy the eyes.
10:38Davis.
10:39And there is some work on the inside right there.
10:40Davis is trying to tie up a nice little roll right there from him to avoid that hard right hand.
10:48There's Keyshawn Davis looking at his brother as he's taking those punches.
10:54He thinks he's all right.
10:54He's saying he's okay.
10:55He's okay.
10:56He saw his eyes.
10:57He saw the way he was responding.
10:59However, that was a dang good round from Albright.
11:02If you're his team, you're happy with the work that he's done this far.
11:06The crowd trying to get their man up and hype.
11:11Kelvin Davis, they're on their feet.
11:13Hoping he can get back into this fight.
11:16Oh, nice right-left combination by Albright.
11:19It's the level change that Davis is not anticipating.
11:24It's a fight that's about to break out, baby.
11:26Let's go.
11:27I got it.
11:28I got it.
11:28I got it.
11:29I got it.
11:29I got it.
11:33Crowd on its feet here inside the Scope Arena.
11:35Sold over 10,000 tickets.
11:38Over 2,000 of them said, give me my money back once Keyshawn Davis lost his belt on the scale.
11:44But now it's Kelvin Davis' moment to fight through in this battle against Naheer Albright.
11:49Yeah, Davis is not respecting the level change.
11:51He's pulling straight back.
11:52And Albright is attacking off that level change.
11:55All he's doing is squatting down.
11:57Bending those knees and he's coming up.
11:59He's looking for that overhand right.
12:01There it is again.
12:02And Tim, sometimes you say, okay, this guy is at a disadvantage because of the length and height of Kelvin Davis.
12:10But if you know how to use it, it can be to your advantage.
12:14You know, if you know how to exactly use it, it can be to your advantage.
12:18But at the same time, there's some holes in Davis' game that Albright understands.
12:26He sees that he's doing the level change and Davis is not squatting down with him.
12:30And he sees that Davis is not moving his head out the way.
12:33His head is directly on the center line.
12:36And when you see that being experienced as Davis, I mean, excuse me, it's Albright.
12:41You're going to take advantage of those opportunities all day.
12:44Just keep looking at that head of Davis.
12:46Look where it's centered all the time.
12:48See if he gets that head off the line.
12:50He did there.
12:50Albright just missed.
12:53Moments ago, you saw the entire Davis family.
12:56Mom, Wanda, who's their manager, Keyshawn, Keon, grandma in the house.
13:02And there was concern for how effective Albright has been in the first three rounds against.
13:08There is again.
13:09Clipped again by the right.
13:10See, the taller opposition, what they do is they pull straight back out of range.
13:15They're used to being a taller fighter.
13:17So they pull themselves back out of range.
13:19They don't necessarily drop and bend their knees and get underneath shots.
13:24So that overhand right is going to be there all night long.
13:27Let's see if Davis can make the adjustment.
13:30Well, he throws to the body finally, and that changes the rhythm of the fight momentarily for Davis.
13:35And let's also remember that Davis got firepower of his own.
13:40That uppercut can find his way home.
13:42He can catch Albright lunging forward with that right hand with an uppercut.
13:46Eight knockouts and 15 fights for Kelvin Davis.
13:50Seven knockouts and 16 victories for the year Albright.
13:54Trying to make this rough here as we close out round three.
13:58And stay inside.
14:03Don't pop out.
14:04Keep working and shift your body.
14:06Shift, skip, skip, skip, all right?
14:08Responsible.
14:09Depends on three, responsible.
14:10Let's go, baby.
14:11Norfolk, Virginia, came out of course to see the Davis brothers fight tonight.
14:21It's Kelvin Davis' turn right now.
14:24And he's having some trouble with Mayor Albright, Tim, early on.
14:28Again, that level change right there.
14:29You see the squat bend his knees, come up with the overhand right.
14:33But look at the thumb going right into the eye of Davis.
14:39You've got to pay attention to see if that eye is going to swell up.
14:43Yeah, luckily for him, he's got one of the best in the business.
14:46Jacob Stich Durant working cuts in the corner.
14:49Kelvin Davis, a good start for Kelvin here in round number four.
14:53Letting his hands go as he was admonished by Ryan Bomek McIntyre in the corner.
15:03Man, there's fights where things are not going the way you planned them to go.
15:09You know, and sometimes you just have to forget the game plan, throw it out the window.
15:17And you just got to go in there and fight and go in there and win and just be instinctual.
15:23That's what Davis is going to have to do right now.
15:25He's going to have to get instinctual.
15:27Use his experience.
15:29All right, with the inside work here until referee Malik Waheed breaks him up.
15:40And that one-two from Davis trying to use his range.
15:45Because it's like you don't want to give Albright confidence.
15:49He hurt you.
15:50Like you want to get some get-back.
15:53You don't want to allow him to build confidence and keep coming forward and being aggressive.
15:57You got to give him something to worry about.
15:59That's what you have to do.
16:00Oh, nice body shot from Davis and Albright answers with the right of his own.
16:06Small adjustment right there from Davis.
16:08He's getting out of the way of that Luka right hand.
16:10He knows it's coming now, so he's expecting it.
16:12He's a half a step ahead of it right now.
16:14That's why he's making it a miss.
16:17He sees it coming.
16:19And you can see his clear eye the way his eyes are tracking their Albright's movements now.
16:24Yes.
16:26And then he's doing the right thing.
16:28He's along the ropes.
16:29He knew he's along the ropes.
16:30He stepped in and tied up.
16:33Albright.
16:34Don't lean on him.
16:35Don't lean on him, Davis.
16:37Okay, stop.
16:38No punching, no punching.
16:39That's the offense I'm talking about.
16:44Then he popped up with a one-two, quick one-two down the middle.
16:46Give him something to think about.
16:47Oh, he got caught.
16:48Oh, he got caught.
16:49Let's go get a right from Naheer Albright.
16:51And once again, Kelvin Davis is on shaky legs.
16:55And he's holding on for Deer Wright.
16:56He's doing the right thing.
16:58He's showing the right signs that he's okay because you have to tie up when you get buzzed like that.
17:03That's a low blow by Albright.
17:06But he looks back, and he's fighting back.
17:08That's what I'm talking about, man.
17:10Oh, another solid right from the here, Albright.
17:13And then three lefts on the inside.
17:15And Davis almost tackles Albright.
17:19Woo!
17:24Come on, you got to work your way back.
17:27All right?
17:27You got to work your way back.
17:29Come on.
17:29Deep breath.
17:30Come on.
17:31Come on.
17:31Come on.
17:32Come on.
17:32We got to get this.
17:33You got it, baby.
17:34Okay?
17:35You got it.
17:35Let me do breath.
17:38Round five of the scheduled ten-round fight.
17:43Kelvin Davis, Nahir, Albright, Bernardo soon alongside Tim Bradley.
17:47Tim, you reach.
17:48I teach, baby.
17:49That's what Albright did right here in this sequence.
17:52Beautiful right hand just being in position to let that right hand go.
17:55But it was off a jab.
17:56Yeah, because Davis reached with a shot.
18:00He reached with that right hook right there.
18:03And then what did he do after?
18:04Pull straight back because taller opposition, that's what they do.
18:08They pull straight back.
18:09It's a bad habit that they develop because they're always fighting short of me.
18:13All right, let's bring in Mark Criegel with his unofficial scorecard through four rounds.
18:1939, 37, three rounds to one.
18:22Nahir, Albright, who came in to McFadden and Whitehead, Big Philly song, spoke to his cut man,
18:28Michael Pabani, says, that eye abrasion needed me a prop to handle.
18:33Mark Criegel using really good with a 1960s music reference.
18:37But my man came up big with a 20, 25.
18:41Oh, my goodness.
18:42My goodness.
18:50I like what Albright is doing.
18:51He's faking.
18:52He's doing some pre-slips right now.
18:54You see him drifting, going to his lead foot.
18:57He'll move his head to the left.
18:59Right now, he's cutting off the ring right now, trying to cut off the escape of Davis.
19:04But he's disguising that right hand with those pre-slips.
19:08He's rotating his shoulders like he's going to throw that loop in right hand.
19:11But he doesn't throw it.
19:13He's trying to time it.
19:15You'll recall Albright lost a majority decision against Keyshawn Davis,
19:20the middle brother of Kelvin Davis,
19:23who eventually went on to become the lightweight world champion,
19:27lost that belt on the scale this Friday's off the card
19:30when his fight against Edmond De Los Santos was canceled.
19:32But what I'm getting to at is Albright is no soft touch.
19:36No, he isn't.
19:37No, but this is the fight that Davis wanted.
19:40He picked Albright.
19:41He said, I want to challenge.
19:42He's testing himself tonight.
19:44I expected a dang good fight tonight.
19:48I expected this type of fight.
19:54We're clean.
19:55We're clean.
19:56Let his arm go.
19:57Subtle faints right there from Albright again, changing it up, changing up his rhythm,
20:02then sneaking behind those faints, those foot faints.
20:05There's that double jab from Albright short, jab-turned-hook, and then another jab.
20:16Albright putting a lot of pressure on Davis.
20:20You know, this is Davis' first 10-rounder.
20:23He's putting a lot of pressure on him.
20:25Right.
20:25A lot of mental pressure, a lot of physical pressure on him.
20:29He's making a miss with a lot of his shots as well,
20:31but he's staying close enough to try to counter.
20:36He's making what he's doing believable.
20:39We're halfway through this fight.
20:40It's been on the air, Albright, in the first half of this fight against Kelvin Davis
21:05to open up our ESPN broadcast, but now let's see what answers Kelvin Davis can come up with
21:11alongside Brian Bommack-McIntyre over there in the red corner.
21:17The reason why this fight is heating up is because in the first round, Albright, he said,
21:26You think I'm here to box you?
21:28I'm here to fight you from the first round.
21:30Completely got out of his element because Albright is a counter-cluncher, man.
21:34Sweet boxer, likes to fight on the outside, can fight off the back foot as well,
21:38but he's coming forward tonight.
21:40He's taking the fight to Davis.
21:42That's the reason why we got to fight people.
21:44The DB3 team is Keyshawn Davis, Keon Davis, and Kelvin Davis.
21:51You can see the concern in the former world champion's face
21:54because Nair Albright, who gave him all he could handle,
21:57is giving his older brother Kelvin all he can handle tonight in their hometown.
22:04On Harbor Week.
22:08They already had the disappointment of Keyshawn losing his belt and not fighting tonight,
22:12missing out on a million-dollar payday.
22:15And now, the unbeaten record of Kelvin Davis is in danger.
22:20Just a little bit off the mark.
22:21Raisin Blow, right hand.
22:23Nice little angle right there from Albright.
22:25Looking for that looping right hand.
22:26You know, Southpaw's are used to straight right hands coming,
22:30but the looping shots, they're in frame and then they're out of frame.
22:35They're hard to see.
22:36You see that backhand of Davis is blocking his vision as he holds it up above his left eye.
22:46That's the reason why that right hand is sneaking over the top.
22:49Moments ago, we saw Jeremiah Nakatila, who will be in tonight's main event.
22:56The former world title challenger will look to break his negative mark against undefeated fighters
23:03after losses to Shakur Stevenson in a title fight.
23:07Raymond Murataya, the current IBF interim champion.
23:11An uber-prospect Ernesto Mercado.
23:14Now he has to face probably the hottest prospect in the game today.
23:18Now a contender, Abdullah Mason, in tonight's main event.
23:25Davis yet to figure out how to stop Nair Albright's forward progress.
23:32You see that body shot from Albright.
23:33And he's staying tight right now.
23:35Davis is standing along those rows squared up.
23:41I mean, Davis needs to conjure up some magic here to get the crowd into it
23:44and get himself going, Tim.
23:46Oh, big left hook right there.
23:49I don't know if it landed.
23:50Might have been partially blocked or even...
23:52Might even got out of the way of it.
23:54There's another.
23:55Yeah, grazing blows.
23:56Oh, big shot right there to exchange.
24:03Man.
24:05Let's take a look at tonight's Punch of the Night brought to you by Miller Lite.
24:09And it was Keon Davis, the youngest of the Davis brothers.
24:14What a liver shot.
24:15He delivered on our undercard against Michael Vales.
24:19Sent him crawling back to his corner for his fourth professional win.
24:25And three of those consecutively have come by knockout
24:28after making his debut in this same building last November on a DB3 undercard.
24:34Nice right hand here from there, Albright.
24:36The concern on Kelvin Davis' corner.
24:39His brothers, Keon and Keyshawn, are visibly trying to egg him on to do something different
24:47and change the tide of this fight, Tim.
24:49Absolutely.
24:52I mean, they see exactly what I see.
24:55You know, Albright again is gaining more and more steam each round.
24:59He's pressing forward.
25:01He's changed that right hand from the looping right hand.
25:03Now he's throwing it straight down the pipe.
25:05But...
25:06Nope.
25:07Nice right hand again.
25:08But what I like what Albright is doing is he's not stepping straight back
25:14any time that you see Davis shoot any punches.
25:17He's stepping inside.
25:19Keep it clean, fellas.
25:19Keep it clean.
25:20Come on, workout.
25:20Explain why that's important, Tim.
25:23Because Davis got the longer arms.
25:25So if you step back out of range, you can allow him to extend with those long arms.
25:29But if you step in, you shorten those arms.
25:32You take them away.
25:34And you know what?
25:35The jab is the best punch you can use as a tall fighter.
25:38And Kelvin Davis, after doing it in his last fight against Josema Rufo to get the win,
25:43is not able to do it against Lear Albright.
25:46And in the corner, Bomek was telling Kelvin,
25:49look, you've got to work behind the jab.
25:52Because if not, you're just going through the motions.
25:54And you're going to lose this fight.
25:56One of the most interesting things right now that I'm seeing is that Albright,
26:01although he's a 135-pounder, he seems to be stronger.
26:04than Davis on the inside.
26:06More physical.
26:07Yes, he got the shorter arm so he can work them.
26:09However, he seems to be the stronger of the two on the inside.
26:13Reminds me of what you said in the first round.
26:16Melting himself down to 140 pounds.
26:19When you are 6'1", at some point it catches up to you.
26:23Absolutely.
26:23It caught up to his brother.
26:24Now it may be catching up to him.
26:26It's a cut on the eye, I believe.
26:28I see blood on the right eye of Albright.
26:30You right here.
26:31That's the last time on the hold.
26:33Stay off your hold.
26:34Not sure if that's from a punch or a butt.
26:37However, we got the best in the business in the truck.
26:39They're going to find it.
26:40They will find it.
26:44Need a little, I think we need a little bit more work from Davis.
26:47A little bit more.
26:48That's a nice sniping left uppercut.
26:51And sometimes seeing that blood trick, Tim, will wake you up.
26:55Absolutely.
26:56And that's what it's done for coming, Davis.
26:58That's what I'm talking about.
27:00Finally letting his hands go here in the seventh round.
27:04And what he's doing is he's getting down to his level.
27:07I love it.
27:08He's getting down.
27:10See him bending his knees now.
27:11He eye level.
27:12He has an advantage.
27:13Now he can see if the looping shot is going to come.
27:16And he can get underneath it.
27:17Also, he can use those long arms.
27:19And they're the same height.
27:22He don't know nothing about that.
27:25Seven rounds, they don't know nothing about that.
27:26The fight may change down the stretch.
27:29Here on Top Life Boxing on ESPN.
27:52Not playing this moment.
27:54How you feel?
27:54You got to cut.
27:56Cut.
27:57You feel good?
27:58All right.
27:59Hold this hand.
28:02All right.
28:03You got to outstep him.
28:06He's throwing that one-two like I told you.
28:08Use that sweet roll.
28:09It's there all day long.
28:12He's bending his knees now.
28:14He's shorting his height.
28:16Use the sweet roll on him.
28:18All right?
28:20You're doing it.
28:20All right.
28:21All right.
28:21All right.
28:22All right.
28:22All right.
28:22Okay?
28:22Look, look.
28:23Do you see those right hands coming down?
28:24They slow.
28:24Slow as fuck.
28:25Fuck, right?
28:26Now you can step to him behind the double jab.
28:28And then let that left hand go.
28:30And then bring that left hand under.
28:31Okay?
28:32Come on, baby.
28:33You got it.
28:33Come on.
28:34Come on.
28:34Come on.
28:34You got it.
28:35We can't do this bill here.
28:36We can't do this.
28:40Round eight of the scheduled ten-round fight.
28:44And referee Malik Waleed didn't make a signal in terms of the cut on the right eyelid of Nier.
28:52Albright being a headbutt or a headflash.
28:56Crucial moments and crucial determinations to be made because we saw what happened with Navarrete and Suarez.
29:05Albright on the offense once again.
29:07And Davis trying to counter.
29:09I understand that Davis is trying to get in the rhythm.
29:13Trying to change his pace up.
29:15But he got to be careful.
29:16Albright is staying close enough to be able to counter.
29:18He's going to catch him while he's bouncing up and down when his feet are off the ground.
29:22Perfect time to rush in there and take chances if you Albright.
29:30See?
29:30There it is again.
29:31Catch him on the way out.
29:32And those punches are small shots, but they look like they're doing some damage because the way that Davis has reacted to him being off balance because his feet are in the air.
29:45Albright says you're going to keep moving.
29:47I'm going to hit you with the stab jab and set up the overhand right.
29:49Watch your hands.
29:50Okay.
29:50A short left hook there from Albright on the inside.
29:59Getting that pressure is starting to add up for Albright.
30:02Walking in behind that high guard.
30:04Again, all that wrestling and tussling on the inside, that takes a lot out of you.
30:07It does.
30:09Albright understands that it knows that.
30:14Albright reaching here in round eight.
30:18But he's not getting disciplined by Davis.
30:21No.
30:21Albright just staying real low.
30:24Staying real low.
30:25Below C level.
30:26There it is.
30:27Left uppercut for Davis.
30:28Catching him as he was moving out.
30:30You see the combinations of follow-up.
30:32There wasn't a whole lot of shots that were big.
30:35However, the volume is what I'm looking at.
30:47Both fighters right now are just resting right now.
30:50They're resting.
30:53Inside work from Albright.
30:56The fighter that's more consistent right now is Albright.
31:01He's consistent.
31:03Again, another right hand.
31:04Snug it.
31:05Snug it in again.
31:14The right hand there.
31:15Albright leaned down like he was going to go downstairs and he popped the right hand.
31:20Being deceptive.
31:22That's how you do it.
31:24It's almost like a no-look pass.
31:27Basketball, no-look pass.
31:29They're sneaking that right hand.
31:31Getting outside that vision.
31:34The lead vision of Davis.
31:37What do they say?
31:39My name is says more than a thousand words.
31:44Under.
31:45Just like with shit that we work on.
31:46It's real easy.
31:47All right.
31:48Come on.
31:48You got it, man.
31:49Okay.
31:50Yeah.
31:56Round nine of a scheduled ten-round fight.
32:04Kelvin Davis, Linger, Albright, Mark Kregel.
32:07What does your unofficial scorecard look like through eight?
32:1178, 74, six rounds to two.
32:15You know, Albright hasn't fought in two-plus years.
32:20Never fought at this weight before.
32:21He's got a 140-pounder.
32:22Philly's in the house.
32:24He was active, though, in those short fights.
32:28The TCL, I think, with 14 fights.
32:31But it doesn't matter, Tim.
32:33What matters is what we're seeing right now.
32:34And Bommack telling Kelvin Davis,
32:37you have to stay off the ropes.
32:38That looks terrible.
32:40It does look terrible.
32:42Let him go.
32:42Let him go.
32:42But what would help Davis is if he can establish a solid jab outside.
32:51Establishes distance outside.
32:55He's having a hard time doing that.
32:57And what Albright did, he's slipping past that jab,
33:00and he's coming with that right hand.
33:02He's doing it off a head movement.
33:03Look, Davis has a five-inch height advantage,
33:07a three-and-a-half-inch reach advantage,
33:09and yet he's being beat to the punch by Nair Albright,
33:13who's moving up in weight on top of all the physical disadvantages.
33:16See, get on that jab.
33:17Get on that jab.
33:18Nice little change right there.
33:20Left hand.
33:21Getting a little bit more busier with his backhand.
33:23That's great.
33:24Let's keep it Albright.
33:26He has to respect that power coming from Davis.
33:30Let's keep it at bay.
33:33Let him know.
33:36Let's stay on his head.
33:39Let him know.
33:48You're holding.
33:48You're holding.
33:48fight starting to get real ugly real sloppy fight right now by both fighters
34:11and that favors albright completely because he's put in the work in the middle round and he's
34:17making them use his legs as well albright is and i almost feel like the taller fighter gotta make
34:26all right use his legs like you gotta learn how to lean on the shorter man lean on him you get
34:35yourself compromised and pull his head down you don't force him to use his legs don't allow him
34:42to throw those uh those punches you know in close like he's doing 82 power punches landed through
34:53nine rounds for the year albright compared to 40 for calvin davis that tells the story of this fight
35:00um straight left hand that was nice
35:04be responsible and be precise
35:12and now ladies and dylan put your hands together
35:20norfolk virginia has an undefeated fighter in the ring right now kelvin davis 15 and 0 with eight
35:25knockouts he may need to make it nine knockouts to come away with the win against nahir albright
35:30who lost the majority decision against keshawn davis kelvin's middle brother who
35:36then had it overturned when he tested positive for marijuana because that fight took place in texas
35:43tonight though nahir albright came to fight him oh and he lands a nice left hook there early on in round
35:49all right he's still looking for that knockout
35:56still energetic high energy
35:59been the same the entire all night for most of the night
36:03besides that last round when both men seem to be
36:06gasping for air
36:08getting a little sloppy
36:09see that's exactly what i was talking about right there that's the position that you want to get albright in
36:14where you compromise him you force him to use his legs he still didn't quite push down on his head though he should have
36:21nice short left uppercut by davis after a good lead left he just needs to let his hands go at this point go for broke
36:32catch albright reaching
36:37you got to give albright a lot of credit for his game plan tonight yeah absolutely i mean look
36:44you got to fight a certain you got to fight different game plans you got to have a lot in your bag bag of twos
36:49you know
36:51even if you uh counterpunch you like to fight off your back foot you got to learn how to go forward
36:55albright has all the skills needed to do whatever's needed to get the job done tonight
37:03you know but i gotta say i respect
37:05kelvin i respect kelvin davis
37:07you know because he's willing he's willing to take a fight like this this is a risky fight for him
37:12whether he win or lose tonight i don't know i'm not a judge
37:16you know i respect the fact that he was willing to take this challenge tonight against a tough
37:21romney fighter like all right and you know what he didn't folk and he got hurt early on in this fight
37:26yes and he just oh what a big shot but that stuff like that happens but albright just walked through it
37:31he just kept coming there's another left uppercut it's a good round for davis picking his spots wisely
37:41yeah you're absolutely right
37:45oh nice right hand from albright they couldn't have the same zip as they did earlier on
37:51no and then you see the legs also babies as well a little rubbery
38:00plenty seconds left here in the 10th and final round
38:04who will win who wants it more who's willing to put their stamp on this 10th and final round
38:15and for now it's albright shoe shining but letting his hands go
38:19oh oh spit down i ain't notice he now that was there for fame
38:23it wasn't a pretty fight tim no it wasn't pretty but you know what dang it it was a fight
38:32it was a fight it was interesting early that's for dang show real interesting early but what's
38:38going to be real interesting is these scorecards that's going to be interesting what are you trying
38:44to tell me let's see the spinorama here from the albright man he was tied up tim and explain what he did
38:50i ain't never seen this before man and this is this is past ole right here he found a little hole
38:56right there he said okay i'm gonna spin out boom i'm gonna try to catch you with that hook got him
39:01on the shoulder oh my goodness yeah that was definitely creative from albright
39:08top-ranked boxing on espn is brought to you by gorilla glue for the toughest jobs on the planet
39:16you don't need a hundred types of glues you just need gorilla glue
39:18all right so what do you take away from this fight because now your albright got off to a great
39:25start kelvin david had his moment let's walk through these highlights jimmy no that right hand man i mean
39:32that's the punch that i remember most from albright landing early and often you know he kept changing it
39:39man he you know he was changing his levels sneaking him over the top of looping right hands you know and
39:45then as the rounds continued he was throwing the straight right hand down the middle you know
39:49what i liked about albright's game tonight was was the fact that he kept giving different looks
39:56you know and that threw off davis davis tonight he had his moments where he you know he did some
40:01some damage from the outside you know straight left hands or whatnot but he he got hit clean
40:07with shots like that man i mean those shots right there are appealing to a judge however look we in
40:15the hometown of davis and you know this is boxing we've seen some crazy scorecards however tonight
40:22i think albright won this fight to be honest with you i'm giving you a definitive hey albright won
40:27this fight tonight he won it on the numbers landing 54 more punches than kelvin davis on the power shot side
40:35112 to 72 that's 40 more punches than kelvin davis was able to connect on but tim we know what happened
40:44with hometown fights mark kriegel what is your unofficial scorecard look like through 10. 98 92
40:53to hear albright give him all the credit in the world for coming up and wait for coming off the layoff
40:58and for hitting him with the right hand nine and ten with swing rounds they could have gone either way
41:02um i thought that albright pulled it out for me at the end but i got to give the guy a lot of credit
41:06man coming into another man's hometown like that we remind you near albright lost a majority decision
41:13against keshaan davis that was overturned how did he do against kelvin davis in his hometown
41:18michael c williams with the judge's decision
41:23ladies and gentlemen haven't gone the distance
41:25we'll go now to your three judges scoring at ringside your first judge brian costello
41:32sees the fight 95 to 95 he has it even
41:39that scorecard however overruled by judges dave braslow seeing at 97 93 and judge paul wallace
41:47scoring at 96 to 94. both having it for the winner by majority decision and now the new silver u.s wbc junior welterweight champion
42:00champion pretty boy wu nahir obras
42:08the man who did the work got the victory tonight and he's stuns the crowd he stuns the davis family
42:18and what a weekend it's been for keshaan and now for kelvin davis who loses undefeated record but
42:25credit to nahir albright oh major credit i mean coming into hostile territory behaving the way he
42:31behaved inside that ring you know he put on one heck of a performance at night you know but i'll tip my
42:36head off to davis this could have ended early it could have but he bit down he fought hard it wasn't
42:44enough however look moving forward one loss don't define you as a fighter it's how i'm gonna be
42:51curious to see how he rebounds from this loss learning lessons for him tonight that's fine he took the
42:57challenge he didn't win
