Keyshawn Davis vs. Nahir Albright Betting Preview
The Davis vs Albright prediction is pretty simple to make at this point in Davis’ career and how good he really is. He’s being groomed to be a world champion-caliber star for TopRank, and this is just a step up in competition for him early in his career.
With that being said, Albright is a very good boxer and not someone to look past. According to boxing odds, Davis is the massive -2400 betting favorite over the +1000 Albright. Davis is only +154 to win by KO, while Albright is +1400 to do the same. You can get Davis winning a decision at a very nice -140 line.
After watching the tape on both guys, the skill level of Davis really stands out. He’s a natural power puncher who doesn’t need to use a lot of energy to damage opponents quickly. He’s accurate and looks just a little smoother than most.
Albright is a very good boxer who likes everything that comes with getting into these big fights. He wants the best opponents, and he wants to shock the world. This mindset makes it dangerous for someone like Davis to fight this early in his career.
The biggest factor for this matchup will be the physical strength of Davis. In whatever way Albright can close the gap with his performance, it’s only going to be tougher to do it to a much stronger Davis.
