The middleweight division has been bereft of talent since Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin departed the 160-pound class and Jermall Charlo hasn't fought in two years because of personal mental health issues.
But on Saturday in Rosenberg, Texas, Janibek Alimkhanuly showed that may have changed. Alimkhanuly dominated IBF champion Vincenzo Gualtieri from start to finish with hard jabs and accurate punches. He hurt Gualtieri in the fifth, and again in the sixth, with uppercuts and forced referee David Fields to jump in to stop it at 1:25 of the sixth.That made Alimkhanuly the unified WBO-IBF champion with few apparent significant challengers on the horizon.
With about 30 seconds remaining, Albright caught Davis with a perfect counter right than landed on the chin. Though it had steam behind it, Davis showed a good chin and never budged.Davis did a good job for most of the fight of neutralizing Albright, though there was a lot of holding, clinching and wrestling. The referee was continually between them and pulling them apart and the fight never really got into a flow.
But Davis sees him as a big name who could prove his worth. Pedraza held the super featherweight and lightweight titles earlier in his career and is 29-5-1 with 14 KOs.
