	:Camacho, who entered the ring with a sequined flag of Puerto Rico on his robe and matching trunks, took the fight to Davis from the start. Camacho fired right jabs to the head from his southpaw stance, but was most damaging with two-handed combinations to the body. Davis seemed to be feeling Camacho out during the opening two rounds, backing off his charging opponent. Once he built a lead, Camacho retreated and let Davis chase. Davis rarely caught Camacho with anything big. Davis' best rounds were the fourth and fifth when Camacho slowed his attack. Davis fired combinations to the head but rarely landed. Camacho gained confidence as the fight wore on and dominated the seventh, eighth and ninth rounds. Davis was content to cover his head and let Camacho fire to the body without answering. Camacho occasionally landed eight to 10 straight punches to his timid foe's body.		:Camacho, who entered the ring with a sequined flag of Puerto Rico on his robe and matching trunks, took the fight to Davis from the start.
