Severn came out kinda strong, but Davis chipped away at him until he broke. Stamina became a factor, and Davis took this one easy in the later part of the fight. Reminded me of an old Mark Coleman fight - strong start, brutal finish. Severn was not brutal, but he wasn't his Beast self at the end there.
