Oliveira Disposes of Former Cruiserweight Champion in Three
By Underground Boxing Company October 25th, 2008 [1] 
Rising Light Heavyweight prospect, Marcus Oliveira (15-0-1 with 12 KOs)  
cemented his position in the division with an exciting third round TKO stoppage 
over former IBF and USBA Cruiserweight Champion, Kelvin "Concrete" Davis(24-9-2).
Although the opening three minutes was more of a feeling-out round for the two 
fighters, things began to heat up in the second. Oliveira began to break down 
"Concrete" Davis with a powerful, sledgehammer jab that chipped away at the 
former champion, while Davis looked to unleash the type of knockout blows he had 
gained a reputation for. Oliveira proved to be too agile and countered well, often 
leaving Davis swinging at air. Oliveira soon found a home for his uppercut and 
shortly into the third round, split Davis' nose open wide open. As blood poured,  
Oliveira began opening up on the former champion and landed a series of 
uppercuts and solid head shots. Oliveira's punches gained steam, snapping his 
opponents head back and buckling his legs. Just as it looked like Davis was on his 
way down, his corner mercifully jumped in the ring to stop the fight and end the 
onslaught at 59 seconds of the third round. The scheduled 8 round light 
heavyweight bout was Davis' first fight after dropping down to the 175lb weight 
class...a move that proved to be a costly one. The fight was held at the Township 
Auditorium in Columbia, South Carolina and is scheduled to air on FOX Sports 
where most fans will get their first glance of this up-and-coming fighter.
Oliveira continues to rise up to meet each mounting challenge that is put in front of 
him...the sign of a warrior spirit and will of a future champion.
