That will come as no surprise to fight fans who have followed Davis' career or to our readers who backed him to beat Denys Berinchyk earlier this year in New York. Davis is a deserving market leader, but the odds on De Los Santos suggest he has little chance of winning. That’s a dangerous approach, as any experienced boxing bettor will attest.

Do you follow the market and back Davis to win off a large stake at short odds, or do you take a chance on Santos winning and play a small stake in the hope of landing handsome odds? The choice is yours, and you can gamble now using your laptop or mobile device.

Davis Form and Figures

Keyshawn Davis is a 26-year-old professional fighter from Virginia known as Businessman. He’s certainly lived up to that tag in his career, quickly rising through the ranks to collect major honours and a strong reputation at lightweight. He boasts a professional boxing record detailing 13 wins from as many bouts, with nine victories scored inside the distance. Keyshawn knows a 14th straight win would drive him up the rankings.

Despite being an unbeaten fighter and champion, Davis is ranked at number four in the United States and number five in the global charts. The young fighter knows he’s capable of more, but appreciates that the only way to push himself into a prominent position is to keep winning and continue to impress. The pressure is on him to get a positive result on Saturday on his home show, but also to impress and prove he’s capable of more.

We last saw Davis in action when he beat Denys Berinchyk in the fourth round of a contest scheduled for 12. The beaten man was blown away in the opening exchanges and was never in the contest. That early KO/TKO means Davis has beaten his previous two opponents inside four rounds. Will that trend continue this weekend with another showreel KO? Fight fans can’t wait to find out.

Santos Form and Figures

Edwin De Los Santos is an exciting fighter from the Dominican Republic who travels to the United States looking to shock world boxing. Will he take the title back to his homeland? The man from Santo Domingo certainly has nothing to lose, knowing he has been written off by most experts and boxing pundits. Harsh? Perhaps, but that means he enters without pressure, knowing all eyes rest on his big-name opponent.

Santos has won 16 and lost two of his previous 18 visits to the ring. In that period, he stopped all but two of his victims, suffering both defeats on the scorecards. He’s a fearsome fighter with an 88% knockout average and concussive power in both hands, meaning Team Davis can’t and won’t take him lightly. Santos will be a danger from the opening bell until the last punch thrown in the contest.

We last saw Santos in action back in November 2023 when he was beaten on the scorecards by Shakur Stevenson at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The WBC world lightweight title was on the line that evening, and Stevenson was made to work hard for his victory. Santos is a tough man, but he’s coming in on the back of an extended layoff.

Davis vs. Santos Betting Prediction

We’ve now reached the point in our Davis vs. Santos preview where I give my final prediction on what’s sure to be a thrilling fight. 

Santos is a tough and talented fighter, as shown when going the distance with Stevenson, pushing his big-name opponent all the way to the line. But over a year on the sidelines before facing an active and hungry champion makes him difficult to trust. 

That inactivity from Santos and the winning streak enjoyed by Davis means we’re backing the favourite. Take Keyshawn Davis to be the first man to stop Santos at +175 via bet365.
