Keyshawn Davis (12-0, 8 KOs) claims that WBA light-weight champion Gervonta Davis has “no selection however to battle him” now after his second-round knockout win over mild welterweight Gustavo Lemos (29-2, 19 KOs) on Friday evening in a Prime Rank-promoted present on ESPN+ on the Scope Area in Norfolk, Virginia.
Keyshawn, not recognized for being a giant puncher, caught the wild-looking Argentinian Lemos with an ideal proper counter in spherical two that put him down on the seat of his pants.
Gustavo Was Excellent For Keyshawn
– No hand velocity
– Sluggish shifting
– Crude abilities
– Throwing wild haymakers
Lemos, 28, was simple prey after that knockdown and was dropped twice extra by Keyshawn earlier than referee Raul Caiz Jr waved off the competition at 1:59 of spherical two. The punches that Keyshawn landed weren’t big, nevertheless it was a case of Lemos not having recovered from the primary knockdown.
The victory for #3 WBC and #3 WBO-ranked Keyshawn makes him the WBO necessary to champion Denys Berinchyk, who will seemingly be subsequent for him. Prime Rank just isn’t more likely to going to have the ability to negotiate a battle in opposition to Tank Davis anytime quickly if ever.
I’d be shocked if Keyshawn ever will get a battle in opposition to except he turns into a star, and he won’t be capable of make the soar earlier than being compelled to maneuver up attributable to his dimension. He didn’t look a lot smaller than the 155-lb Lemos contained in the ring, which suggests he’s not lengthy for the division.
“I didn’t assume I used to be going to cease Lemos. I assumed he was going to be very robust, sturdy, and we had been going to be in there preventing type of like my final battle was and having a spectacular efficiency,” stated Keyshawn Davis to the media after his win over Gustavo Lemos on Saturday evening in Norfolk, Virginia.
It wasn’t a giant shock that Keyshawn knocked out Lemos as a result of, with the best way he was throwing wild punches, leaving himself open every time, it was solely a matter of time. Within the first 30 seconds, I might see why Keyshawn picked Lemos as his opponent relatively than Andy Cruz or Raymond Muratalla. Lemos was no menace to beating him and was the perfect opponent for him to look spectacular. He was well-vetted earlier than being chosen by Keyshawn.
“I knocked him out within the second spherical, I knew once I dropped him the primary time, it was over. I already knew it was over, and I simply closed the present,” Keyshawn continued. ”
“The one person who doesn’t like it’s him,” stated Keyshawn about Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis not liking to be referred to as out by him. “He’s type of bizarre, however now he has no selection however to battle me. The followers need him to battle me. After what I did tonight in opposition to a man that’s larger than him.
“If I contact him, guess what’s going to occur? Speak about that. Everybody desires to speak about, ‘Keyshawn, what if he contact you?’ What if I contact him? Yeah, okay,” stated Keyshawn.
