Just two weeks after losing by eight-round split decision in Pittsburgh, DC super middleweight Demetrius Davis suffered a third-round stoppage to undefeated Cuban Yordanis Despaigne, now fighting out of Coral Gables, FL, last night in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Davis's record evens at 19-19-5, seven KO's while Despaigne is now 5-0, four KO's.

i remember when they did a feature on demetrius davis as a amateur on this show called kidsworld,longevity is not a good thing in this sport when taking fights 2 weeks apart, im a fan of boxing but im true fan of all local fighters pro and amateur, just speaking out of concern please take a break dee.
the cuban guy must be great b/c davis ain't no joke!
Two fights in a MONTH!!! Thats just ridiculous. The purse must have been good. Best of luck to him in the future.
Who put him in that quick? he took a beating two weeks ago, this is shameful. Hopefully the commission suspends him for a couple of months, times must be hard for his manager.
Me personally I think he should retire honestly. His boxing record is 19wins and 19 losses. C'mon he is only going to be an opponent from now on. Vaughn just get a 9to5 job please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is going to be an opponent??
He already is an opponent. If he wants to be able to talk to his kids in a few years, he needs to retire now.
I remember when he lost to George Pindell from Annapolis at 135 lbs back in '87. That's too long to be taking punches to the head.
Maybe, maybe not. Some guys can take it and they're fine. Some guys have short careers and they're badly damaged. As long as he passes the medical tests required and he wants to fight and is able to fight, he should be allowed to fight. Can't keep a man from making a living and you can't keep a man from making his own choices. Now if he doesn't pass the medical tests, then he shouldn't be licensed.
