Manage episode 487683572 series 3602912
Keyshawn Davis's career trajectory took a dramatic turn this weekend when the Olympic silver medalist missed weight by a shocking four pounds for his hometown title defense in Norfolk. What should have been a triumphant homecoming spiraled into chaos as his fight was canceled, his brother lost on the undercard, and reports emerged of a backstage altercation with his brother's opponent.
We dive deep into the fallout from Davis's unprofessional meltdown, examining the warning signs that appeared during fight week and what this means for his relationship with Top Rank. From his confrontations with Abdullah Mason to his nonchalant attitude after missing weight, we explore how quickly a rising star can dim in the unforgiving world of professional boxing.

We analyze Lomachenko's retirement announcement and explore Michael Angeletti's impressive performance on ProBox TV. Plus, we preview the upcoming Richardson Hitchens vs. George Kambosos fight and discuss what Kambosos would need to do to pull off an upset.
