Keyshawn Davis is speaking loopy, saying he’s going “knock out” Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis when he will get his palms on him. Davis (10-0, 7 KOs) says he needs a title shot in opposition to Tank subsequent for his WBA light-weight belt and that the “little” bleep can’t “contact me.”
The point out of Tank Davis might be Keyshawn’s try to get consideration on his battle in opposition to Miguel Madueno, which isn’t on followers’ radar.
Ideally, Keyshawn ought to face higher opposition as a result of he wouldn’t want to say Tank to get consideration. High Rank isn’t able to match him in opposition to anybody notable after the issues he had in opposition to Nahir Albright.
#3 IBF, #3 WBC, and #3 WBO Keyshawn should win his ten-round undercard battle in opposition to Miguel Madueno (31-2, 28 KOs) this Saturday, July sixth, on the Prudential Middle in Newark, New Jersey.
The Madueno Check
If High Rank can work their magic and sprinkle pixie mud over the top of Keyshawn to present him the expertise he’s not proven, he may need a shot at beating Tank Davis. For now, Keyshawn continues to be a mortal and will collapse on Saturday below the firepower of Madueno’s heavy pictures.
There’s an actual likelihood that Madueno will end what Nahir Albright began by hurting and knocking out Keyshawn on Saturday. High Rank is giving Davis a take a look at by placing him in with this slugger, hoping he can cross, however they’re unsure.
Bob Arum’s firm is already well-stocked at light-weight with Abdullah Mason, Vasily Lomachenko, and Raymond Muratalla, so it’s not a major loss if Keyshawn doesn’t pan out. Shakur Stevenson may stick with High Rank, and he can sit on his WBC light-weight title for ages.
“I would like Tank Davis, the highest man. I’d go for the highest man. If I may select, I’d select Tank Davis,” stated Keyshawn Davis to Battle Hub TV on who he want to battle if he may select.
“I’d knock his brief a** out,” stated Keyshawn about Tank. “Hats off to Tank. He’s an important fighter. Everyone is aware of he has the ability, the talents, and the flexibility and persistence, however I do know what I’m.”
It doesn’t appear to be Keyshawn will ever get an opportunity to battle Tank Davis as a result of he’s on the opposite aspect of the pond, and moreover that, he’s outgrowing the 135-lb division quick.
Davis ought to give attention to his earlier concept of preventing WBO light-weight champion Denys Berinchyk as a result of that’s a battle that High Rank has a greater likelihood of creating.
Proving Grounds
– Andy Cruz
– Raymond Muratalla
– Abdullah Mason
– Edwin De Los Santos
These 4 could be the perfect means for High Rank to present Keyshawn a take a look at and, on the similar time, let him season extra. If he hopes to compete with Tank Davis one in every of as of late, he’ll enhance his sport by preventing these 4.
“That little brief [guy] can’t contact me, and I’m coming with that very same stuff that he’s coming with, and he is aware of that. His coach Kenny [Ellis] is aware of. He has lots to say. He stated go battle the man from Cuba [Andy Cruz]. No, I wish to battle Tank. Cease mentioning different individuals after I’m mentioning your fighter.”
Overcoming the Ghost of Andy Cruz
At this level within the interview, Keyshawn acquired labored up when mentioning Andy Cruz’s title. He’s the man who beat Keyshawn 4 instances within the amateurs, and he feels like he’s nonetheless haunted by the reminiscences of what occurred.
“What are you speaking about? Don’t play with me. You realize I’m coming. Tank, if you wish to battle, ship me a contract. You, Tank, you understand,” stated Keyshawn.
