Keyshawn Davis: The best prospect or protected fighter? Berinchyk waits

Keyshawn Davis played the fruit box that sent him yesterday by an anonymous person, blaming him for the lightweight champion of the OMB Denys Berinchyk to Make false drama To create interest in your fight this Friday. All this seemed like an artificial theatrical movement by Keyshawn.

Playing villain?

Davis (12-0, 8 kos) made it ugly, labeling Berinchyk as a “racist” Without evidence that he had sent the box in an effort to create drama for his fight. With luck, it does not do the same with another cooking strategy to try to focus on people in their fight against their chosen opponent.

Berinchyk (19-0, 9 kos) will defend his light weight belt against Keyshawn this Friday, February 14 at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York. The event will be shown Live in ESPN and ESPN+ from 9:00 pm ET/6: 00 PM PT.

“Keyshawn is very good, but he is not receiving the impulse he needs. He is doing the media rounds and, hopefully, receives a little love. Keyshawn could be the lot, ”said Ade Oladipo in his YouTube channel. “I am talking about Gervonta. I’m talking about Shakur. There is this with Andy Cruz. Keyshawn could be the best of all. Let’s see how Berinchyk advances, who is a very solid fighter. “

“He (Keyshawn) could be the best 135 pounds. I put Gervonta and Shakur there. He has this murderous instinct, and is willing to take all the challenges (except Andy Cruz), “he said in Dazn boxing About Keyshawn, giving praise that has not won.

“I remember that altercation with Teofimo López. He says: ‘I will go to 140 or 147 to fight with you’. He wants the great fight, but this is a hard fight in front of him. Berinchyk is not a joke. They mention that Shakur is a medalist, but he was also Berinchyk. He was 2012 Olympic silver medalist. “

You would have to be quite naive to think that Keyshawn Davis is the fighter #1 in the 135 pound division. If you are an informal boxing fan with just a knowledge of sport, you might think that Davis is number 1 after seeing him beat Gustavo Lemos. That was a carefully collected opponent for Keyshawn, since Lemos had lost his last fight, small to 5’4 ″, slow like molasses, and had to drain from 140. Instead of Davis choosing Andy Cruz, he selected Lemos . What tells you that?

Cross avoidance

Keyshawn cannot be the light weight #1 in the division when He refuses to fight Andy CruzEdwin de los Santos, or Raymond Muratalla. That right there makes it unworthy of being qualified among the three best fights. Keyshawn, a native of Norfolk, Virginia, is being carefully maneuvered by the best range in the same way they did with Edgar Berlanga when I was with the company.

If you remember, Top Rank fed Berlanga 16 consecutive tomato cans, letting him score 16 consecutive knockouts. In other words, creating a false hype job. We are seeing the same tricks with Keyshawn, which has been matched against the weakest of the champions at age 135 after being put with 11 soft opponents.

The best 6 light pesos

1. Gervonta Davis
2. Andy Cruz
3. Abdullah Mason
4. Raymond Muratalla
5. William Zepeda
6. Edwin de los Santos

It would include Vasily Lomachenko on that list, but his condition on whether he plans to return is not clear. It could withdraw. However, if he continues, he is among the top three.

“He is world champion medalist. It is part of that Ukraine team that had Lomachenko, Gvozdyk and Usyk. So many people expected Berinchyk to be at that level. Maybe he has not achieved what those guys have achieved, but he is undefeated, “said Ade.

“It comes from a very good victory against Navarrete. He was an helpless in that fight. He found a way to win. It was a divided decision, but I thought I should have won it clear for me. So, this is not an easy job at all. The only thing that perhaps Keyshawn lacks is the experience in the highest fights, and that is what Berinchyk has. I think Keyshawn will do the job, but this is a difficult fight, ”said Ade.

If Berinchyk can avoid Keyshawn’s first attempts to score a knockout, he has an excellent opportunity to give him a boxing lesson and possibly stop him in the posterior rounds. Keyshawn was staggered by Nahir Albright in the eighth round of a shaving fight on October 14, 2023.

The scores were 95-95, 96-94 and 97-93 for Keyshawn. It was a very close fight. After that terrible performance of Davis, Top Rank supported him from the opposition of fight quality and fed him with these easy brands: José Pedraza (35 years), Miguel Madueno and Lemos. In Madueno’s fight, Keyshawn made him a WWE match, fighting him to neutralize the constant pressure he was pressing.

The referee did not raise a finger to penalize Keyshawn for the fight, push and rabbit blows he was using during the fight. You could see that Davis did not like hard shooting and Madeuno’s pressure. I was using each trick of the book to go back, and it should have been disqualified. That fight showed that Keyshawn is a bass drum.
