    "The Businessman" controlled the fight nearly from the opening bell. After a couple of rounds to feel out his opponent, Davis began to open things up in the third round and never looked back.

    In total, Davis connected on 49 percent of the punches he threw on Saturday night. He landed 131 more shots Madueno, who hit just 63 punches for the 10 round fight.

    After the fight, the Norfolk native made mention of wanting to fight any top name willing to step in the ring with him. He did not name a specific opponent but has indicated he wants a shot at a major championship in the near future.

    It was quite the evening for the Davis family. In the preliminary fights, Keyshawn's older brother Kelvin also earned a victory with a majority decision over Kevin Johnson.

    Kelvin also protected a perfect record, improving to 13-0 in his career.
