Throughout an interview at this time, Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis’s assistant coach, Kenny Ellis, bought Keyshawn Davis livid when he mentioned he thinks Abdullah Mason is the most effective light-weight within the division outdoors of Tank.
The 25-year-old Keyshawn (11-0, 7 KOs), who began his professional profession with a number of hype behind him as a result of his 2020 Olympic silver medal, feels he’s the man proper beneath Tank Davis.
The issue is, Keyshawn is failing to progress, and isn’t performing wherever close to the extent of the 21-year-old Abdullah Mason. After they carried out on Shakur Stevenson’s card on July sixth on the Prudential Heart in Newark, Keyshawn was badly upstaged by Mason.
Whereas Mason stole the present with the efficiency of the night time together with his third-round knockout of Luis Lebron, Keyshawn struggled badly in a struggle in opposition to Miguel Madueno.
“I believe the most well liked light-weight proper now could be Abdullah Mason,” mentioned Kenny Ellis to MillCity Boxing, making it clear that he views the 21-year-old Abdullah Mason as the most effective light-weight.
Keyshawn Davis: “Bro [Abdullah Mason] is combating 126-pounders, and y’all praising him. That’s a step up. He’s combating 126-pounders, bro? The man got here from 126 to struggle Abdullah. Do your analysis.”
“The Finest At The 135 Division.⭐️ #nodebates,” mentioned Keyshawn on Instagram, posing in an previous picture of him, Shakur Stevenson, and Gervonta Davis, together with himself amongst these two and labeling it as “the most effective.”
Most boxing followers would agree that these are the most effective lightweights:
- Gervonta Davis
- Vasily Lomachenko
- Abdullah Mason
- William Zepeda
- Andy Cruz
- Denys Berinchyk
- Edwin De Los Santos
- Raymond Muratalla
- Floyd Schofield
- Frank Martin’
- Shakur Stevenson
- Mark Chamberlain
- Keyshawn Davis
- Artem Harutyunyan
- Miguel Madueno
Keyshawn appeared like he panicked from the strain that Madueno placed on him and resorted to WWE wrestling strikes, lifting him off the ground, cuffing, straight arming, and holding all night time. It was a miracle that Keyshawn wasn’t disqualified for all of the wrestling strikes as a result of I misplaced monitor of the rule-bending in that struggle, and it was an terrible efficiency. The highest brass at Prime Rank needed to have been troubled at what they witnessed from Keyshawn.
Many boxing followers really feel that Keyshawn will likely be little greater than a profession gatekeeper who talks good recreation outdoors of the ring however can’t minimize it in opposition to the top-level opposition.
If this view is true, Prime Rank made a mistake by signing Keyshawn, and so they want to determine what they wish to do with him. Maintain him round as an outside-of-the-ring entertainer or talker kind, or surrender and think about him as a misplaced trigger.
