A shrill-sounding Keyshawn Davis posted an extended, rambling call-out video right this moment focusing on Gervonta Davis, saying he desires to battle him. Keyshawn (11-0, 7 KOs) beseeched the Baltimore native Tank Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) to “ship me the contract,” however then, within the subsequent breath, stated, “I don’t want you.”
It seemed like loopy double-talk, and what made it worse was Keyshawn showing nearly in tears. You may inform by how emotionally keyed up he was in his call-out of Tank that he actually desires that battle, however how he’s continually mentioning it nearly feels like he’s obsessed. It’s when it’s simply an occasional call-out, however whenever you hear it in each interview, it brings stalker alarm bells.
From final Friday, Keyshawn ceaselessly talked about his win over his hand-picked opponent, Gustavo Lemos, saying that his victory over the Argentinian would be remembered for the subsequent ten years. I can’t decide if he was critical or messing round, speaking nonsense to get consideration. Keyshawn goes in regards to the unsuitable method along with his tactic of beating tomato cans, attempting to make them sound like gold, after which hounding Tank instantly after.
Beating Lemos isn’t even a place to begin towards getting a profitable, life-changing cash battle in opposition to King Tank. That’s truly going backward. To begin constructing for an opportunity to fulfill his highness, Tank, Keyshawn must run-fighter Andersonville-esque gauntlet under with out coming aside alongside the best way.
It will make extra sense for Keyshawn to ask for a battle in opposition to Tank if he defeated The Huge 4:
- Andy Cruz
- Raymond Muratalla
- Edwin De Los Santos
- Abdullah Mason
Lemos was coming off a loss to Richardson Hitchins, and his solely notable win on his resume got here in opposition to 35-year-old Lee Selby. His resume is totally empty of wins over non-shot fighters, and he appeared poor in his loss to Hitchins on April sixth. Watching Hitchins-Lemos battle, it turns into instantly clear why Keyshawn selected Lemos.
Keyshawn Calls for Tank to Ship Contract
“Inform mild pores and skin [Gervonta Davis] to get out of his emotions and ship me a contract. It’s straight like that,” stated Keyshawn Davis on social media, saying he desires Gervonta Davis to ship him a contract to allow them to battle after beating the hand-picked Gustavo Lemos final Friday evening in Norfolk.
Keyshawn goes to be ready for the contract to be despatched from Tank Davis for a very long time. If he desires to achieve a following within the sport, he must cease utilizing Tank’s title for clout and encourage High Rank to match him in opposition to good fighters as a substitute of what they’ve been doing. Lemos, Miguel Madueno, Jose Pedraza, and Nahir Albright are top-tier fighters.
“I don’t want him, however I need to battle this man, although. This ain’t received nothing to do with being powerful,” stated Keyshawn. “This ain’t received nothing to do with me proving myself. I need to battle him straight like that, as a result of he been tricking the boxing recreation for too lengthy.”
The 25-year-old Keyshawn might do himself an enormous favor if he fought his previous nemesis Andy Cruz of Cuba from his beginner days and confirmed the boxing world that he might beat his four-time conqueror. Cruz has had Keyshawn’s quantity, and it will look good if he selected to battle him. Even when Keyshawn will get schooled once more, followers would respect his bravery.
The Businessman Desires To Be Doubted
“He makes [stuff] look good. He makes [stuff] look higher than what it’s. Resume what?” stated Keyshawn about Tank Davis. “What sort of resume do he received? He ain’t received no resume, man. He received fighters that we knew he was going to win. I’m not attempting to listen to none of that.”
Nobody is arguing that Tank Davis has a terrific resume, however he’s nonetheless in style as a result of he places on thrilling performances. He doesn’t pick delicate opposition coming off of losses like Keyshawn did with Lemos and Jose Pedraza.
“I would like the entire world to be in opposition to me in that battle so I can present y’all how nice I actually am,” stated Keyshawn. “I don’t want no one for me for that battle. I’m going to be a famous person subsequent yr, combating him or not. The one motive it’s not going to occur is as a result of he don’t need to it to occur.”
There’s no likelihood that Keyshawn will ever be a famous person with the best way his profession goes. For one, he’s being moved in the identical method Edgar Berlanga was when he was with High Rank, combating solely tomato cans to make him look higher than he’s.
You don’t create superstars being matched in opposition to cans like Keyshawn has been dealing with. If Keyshawn is fortunate, he generally is a pretend star within the Milli Vanilli mould after which look to get a Berlanga-esque cash-out.
“I’m going to do it to him. No Diddy. What occurred on the Scope Enviornment in Virginia goes to be remembered for at the least the subsequent ten years,” stated Davis.
