How a lot of a distinction can about 4 kilos make? Rather a lot if you happen to’re a part of the failed promotion behind the Keyshawn Davis – Edwin De Los Santos battle – a battle which has now been cancelled. Hours after defending WBO titlist Davis hopped onto the dimensions a full four-plus kilos obese 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. Prime Rank, the promoter behind Davis-De Misplaced Santos, publicly introduced the bout’s cancellation on social media.
“The Keyshawn Davis-Edwin De Los Santos battle has been canceled after Davis didn’t make weight earlier in the present day. Davis has been stripped of the WBO light-weight world title. Tomorrow’s card at Scope Enviornment in Norfolk, Virginia, will proceed with a brand new primary occasion, the 10-round light-weight showdown between the unbeaten Abdullah Mason and Namibian contender Jeremia Nakathila.” This clearly wasn’t the type of improvement Prime Rank, De Los Santos, or the followers have been anticipating or hoping to obtain. Nonetheless, boxing is a harmful sport…and weight courses do matter. On the planet of boxing, 4 kilos is an entire lot of additional weight. Nobody will be faulted for cancelling this one.
