Statistic Smackdown: Davis Leaves Pedraza in the Dust

On the Vegas stage on February 9, young gun Keyshawn Davis (10-0, 7 KOs) clinched victory over the seasoned Jose Pedraza (29-6-1, 14 KOs) for the WBO Inter-Continental strap.

From the get-go, Davis was firing on all cylinders, with Pedraza's defenses crumbling as rounds ticked. The bout climaxed in the 6th when the ref waved it off, favoring Davis.

Punch-By-Punch Breakdown

CompuBox painted a picture of Davis' ring mastery. Out of 301 thrown, he landed 139 punches; Pedraza trailed with 46 out of 236. Davis scored 35 of 109 in the jabbing game, while Pedraza managed a meager 7 of 52. Davis' power punches were a force, nailing 104 of 192. Pedraza's attempts were 39 out of 184.

What's the Forecast for Pedraza?

Pedraza's glory days seem a distant memory with no wins since 2022: three defeats and a stalemate with Richard Commey. At 34, the Puerto Rican pugilist faces a crossroads in his career.

Davis' Path Forward

Post-fight, Davis eyes bigger fish, initially eyeing Lomachenko and now calling out Teofimo Lopez, fresh off his headline act that night. In Davis' corner stands Brian McIntyre, the architect behind Terence Crawford's prowess, who recently received a callout from Lopez.
