How a lot of a distinction can about 4 kilos make? Loads for those who’re a part of the failed promotion behind the Keyshawn Davis – Edwin De Los Santos combat – a combat which has now been cancelled. Hours after defending WBO titlist Davis hopped onto the dimensions a full four-plus kilos chubby on Friday, it was determined that the scheduled battle with De Los Santos on Saturday night could be cancelled. Davis had argued that he merely couldn’t attain the 135 light-weight restrict anymore. High Rank, the promoter behind Davis-De Misplaced Santos, publicly introduced the bout’s cancellation on social media.
“The Keyshawn Davis-Edwin De Los Santos combat has been canceled after Davis did not make weight earlier right this moment. Davis has been stripped of the WBO light-weight world title. Tomorrow’s card at Scope Area in Norfolk, Virginia, will proceed with a brand new most important occasion, the 10-round light-weight showdown between the unbeaten Abdullah Mason and Namibian contender Jeremia Nakathila.” This clearly wasn’t the sort of growth High Rank, De Los Santos, or the followers had been anticipating or hoping to obtain. Nonetheless, boxing is a harmful sport…and weight lessons do matter. On the planet of boxing, 4 kilos is a complete lot of additional weight. Nobody will be faulted for cancelling this one.
