Keyshawn Davis vs. Gustavo Lemos
Troy Isley vs. Tyler Howard
Abdullah Mason vs. Yohan Vasquez
Kelvin Davis vs. Yeis Solano
In the chief support fight, middleweight prospect Troy Isley (13-0, 5 KOs) fights Tyler Howard (20-1, 11 KOs) in a 10-round contest. Top Rank is attempting to position the 2020 Olympian Isley into a position to fight for a world title, but they’re going to have to be careful with him. He’s not shown much power since turning pro and has not impressed fighting the veteran-level opposition they’ve matched him against.
Lightweight prospect Abdullah Mason (15-0, 13 KOs) will fight his last eight-rounder, facing Yohan Vasquez (26-5, 21 KOs). Mason may steal the show tonight if he scores another highlight reel knockout. He’s stolen the thunder from the main event fighters in his last two performances and easily out-performed Keyshawn as well.
