Keyshawn Davis' rout caps 3-0 start for U.S. men's boxing in Tokyo Olympics
Keyshawn Davis, a 3-0 pro widely hailed as Team USA's best hope to end the gold-medal boxing drought for the men, advanced to the round of 16 with a 5-0 victory over the Netherlands' Enrico Lacruz on Saturday evening in Tokyo.
Davis, 22, won all three rounds on all five cards. He's looking to become the first male boxer to win gold for Team USA at the Olympics since Andre Ward in 2004. (Ward is currently an ESPN boxing analyst.)
Fighting out of Norfolk, Virginia, Davis won over the judges with a sharp jab and smooth combinations that he was able to deliver before evading incoming shots.
