Keyshawn Davis says his combat towards Argentinian Gustavo Lemos on November eighth will probably be like his final one towards Miguel Madueno on July sixth. Prime Rank-promoted Keyshawn (20-0, 7 KOs) feels Lemos (29-1, 19 KOs) will make it the identical kind of combat of their 10-round headliner on ESPN+.
I hope Keyshawn is kidding concerning the Lemos conflict being an identical combat as his final one as a result of that was like a wrestling match, however with Davis being the one doing it.
Prime Rank’s Greatest Card of the Yr?
“The co-main [Brian Norman Jr. vs. Derrieck Cuevas] is a world championship combat. You’ve acquired Abdullah Mason on the cardboard, and Troy Isley. There’s a lot expertise on the cardboard. That is the very best Prime Rank card of the yr by removed from backside to high,” stated Keyshawn Davis to Fighthype about his November eighth occasion in Norfolk, Virginia.
WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. (26-0, 20 KOs) ought to be within the headliner spot for his title protection towards #7 Cuevas (27-1-1, 19 KOs) as a result of that’s a greater combat than the primary occasion. Furthermore, Norman is a world champion, and there are loads of doubts about whether or not Keyshawn will ever attain that stage.
Prime Rank might have guessed incorrect, selecting Keyshawn to provide a giant promotional push moderately than Norman or Abdullah Mason on the undercard.
Keyshawn hasn’t proven the sort of expertise that implies he’s able to ever profitable a world title at 135. If he fought Keyshawn, I might decide the 20-year-old Abdullah Mason by early knockout, and he’s 5 years youthful.
Will Keyshawn Pan Out?
“You may inform who Prime Rank is pushing to be the following star. They imagine in me. They know I’ve all of the potential, the charisma, and the expertise to take them there. I’m right here to be Prime Rank’s subsequent star. I’m right here to be the center of Prime Rank.”
This wouldn’t be the primary time Prime Rank guessed incorrect when choosing a fighter to place their vitality behind to provide a giant promotional push. Take a look at how they whiffed with Edgar Berlanga. The one factor that Keyshawn has going for him at light-weight is his dimension. He regarded like a welterweight after rehydrating, and his dimension provides him a bonus over true lightweights.
Keyshawn can’t make a way forward for being a weight bully as a result of a fighter can solely get away with that for therefore lengthy earlier than they begins shedding vitality as a result of being drained. If Keyshawn moved up the place he belongs at 147 and fought Brian Norman Jr. or Jaron Ennis, it wouldn’t finish properly for him.
“They want it proper now. They imagine in me. They’re pushing me in direction of that, and I’m right here to say for them.
Davis’ Wrestling Techniques
“Gustavo [Lemos] is coming to combat. For those who didn’t see my final combat [Miguel Madueno], go watch it as a result of that’s how Gustavo goes to combat. Y’all are going to take pleasure in this as properly from spherical one to spherical ten. My final combat was action-packed.
Certainly, Keyshawn is joking as a result of he was clinching and wrestling Madueno all night time of their 10-round undercard combat on July sixth on the undercard of Shakur Stevenson vs. Artem Harutyunyan in Newark.
“So, if you need slightly preview of what you’re going to see on Friday, simply return and watch my final combat, Keyshawn Davis vs. Miguel [Madueno]. Return and watch my final combat, and on Friday, November eighth, keep tuned to a different action-packed combat from ‘The Businessman,” stated Davis.
Keyshawn-Lemos will combat in Keyshawn’s hometown on the Scope Enviornment in Norfolk, Virginia. Lemos, 28, was on the receiving finish of a controversial 12-round unanimous determination towards Richarson Hitchinson on April sixth in Las Vegas.
To be secure, Lemos ought to concentrate on going for a knockout to keep away from shedding by one other questionable determination. Keyshawn must restrict the holding & wrestling he does as a result of he holding Miguel Madueno all night time, utilizing that as his first line of protection, and he acquired away with homicide.
The referee ought to have penalized or not less than warned Keyshawn, the 2020 Olympic silver medalist as a result of he was repeatedly grabbing Madueno and wouldn’t let go.
Davis, 25, pressured the referee to peel him off like an enormous Sea Lamprey. That combat confirmed that Keyshawn doesn’t deal with strain properly. He’s proper about Lemos. He’s a fighter that applies nonstop strain like Madueno.
