Kelvin Davis responded angrily to criticism following his 10-round split decision over Peter Dobson on May 16 at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia.
Many fans on social media questioned the performance after Kelvin spent large portions of the fight cautiously boxing and pinning Dobson during exchanges. Some viewers also disagreed with the scorecards after Dobson continued to push the action over the second half of the 10-round fight.

The post appeared to be Davis defending the change in style after earlier criticism that he was too willing to stand and trade in past fights. Against Dobson, Kelvin boxed more cautiously and focused on movement, but the performance still drew backlash from sections of the Norfolk crowd and online fans afterwards.
Several replies under the post criticized the fight as too cautious and lacking in action, even though Davis got the win on the scorecards. Other fans defended him, pointing out that he still secured victory against an experienced opponent.
The fight took place on the undercard of Keyshawn Davis’ rematch victory over Nahir Albright at the Scope Arena, with the Davis brothers once again headlining a major boxing event in their hometown.
