Kelvin Davis reacted angrily to criticism following his 10 round split decision win 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 boxing cautiously and tying up Dobson during exchanges. Some viewers also disagreed with the scorecards after Dobson continued pressing 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 previous fights. Against Dobson, Kelvin boxed more cautiously and focused on movement, but the performance still drew backlash from parts of the Norfolk crowd and online fans afterward.
Several replies underneath the post criticized the fight as overly cautious and lacking action despite Davis getting the win on the scorecards. Other fans defended him, pointing out that he still secured the victory against an experienced opponent.
The fight took place on the undercard of Keyshawn Davis’ rematch win over Nahir Albright at the Scope Arena, with the Davis brothers once again headlining a major boxing event in their hometown.
