Coach Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre says his fighter Keyshawn Davis believes he can beat celebrity Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis proper now.
BoMac states that the unbeaten, extremely ranked Keyshawn (10-0-1, 7 KOs) has already known as out Tank Davis, however he’s not being talked about as a result of he has solely ten fights below his belt as a professional.
Want for Stronger Competitors
The actual motive followers don’t speak about Keyshawn is the low-level opposition he’s been combating and the truth that he regarded marginal when his promoters at High Rank stepped him up in opposition to fringe contender Nahir Albright.
What Keyshawn wants is to battle these killers to place him on the radar of Tank Davis and Vasily Lomachenko at 135:
- Andy Cruz
- William Zepeda
- Raymond Muratalla
- Edwin De Los Santos
- Floyd Schofield
Keyshawn Davis, the 2020 Olympic U.S. silver medalist, is ranked #3 IBF, WBC, and WBO at light-weight and is near difficult Tank Davis for his WBA title, supplied he needs that battle.
If High Rank needs to hurry up the method, they’ll throw Keyshawn in with Andy Cruz, Zepeda, Muratalla, or De Los Santos to place him on the forefront of the boxing public’s minds.
Sadly, these guys could be too good for Keyshawn, and if that’s the case, High Rank can reduce bait, throw Davis overboard for the fish, and transfer on.
They’ll’t do this by matching Keyshawn in opposition to previous veterans like Jose Pedraza and obscure fighters that even hardcore followers have by no means heard of, which is what High Rank is doing now.
Unproven Potential
Tank Davis can’t be compelled to face anybody, and even when Keyshawn rises to the WBA necessary spot, it doesn’t assure him an opportunity to battle the Baltimore native until he and his administration need it.
“I’ve acquired a 135-pounder that may make some noise, and that’s the place my concern is at Keyshawn Davis,” stated coach Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre to Sean Zittel about his fighter, light-weight contender Keyshawn Davis.
BoMac wants to talk with High Rank to insist they begin matching Keyshawn in opposition to higher opposition. He gained’t have the ability to take their backdoor path to seize a world title at 135.
There aren’t any weak champions at light-weight for Keyshawn to seize a belt in opposition to, as there was when George Kamabosos Jr. was holding three of the belts.
“They’re not speaking about it as a result of he’s solely to 10 fights, however the world is aware of he’s proper there. He simply known as him out. So, I believe he has in his thoughts that he can beat him,” stated BoMac about Keyshawn believing he can defeat Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.
Hardcore boxing followers are conscious Keyshawn is ranked excessive, however not informal followers, who don’t know who he’s, and it might keep that method if High Rank continues to match him in opposition to the likes of Jose Pedraza and veteran Miguel Madueño.
“I’ll let you know like this: So long as he [Keyshawn] follows the sport plan, he can win any battle on the market. You bought to suppose on the fly and adapt to the type that’s in there. That’s what makes an incredible fighter, adapting,” stated BoMac.
Keyshawn is combating subsequent month in opposition to veteran Miguel Madueño on the undercard of Shakur Stevenson vs. Artem Harutyunyan on July sixth on the Prudential Middle in Newark, New Jersey.
The 25-year-old Keyshawn nonetheless isn’t headlining fights regardless of his Olympic pedigree and the hype that has gone into his profession by High Rank. At this level, it’s debatable whether or not Keyshawn will pan out.
Comparisons to Terence Crawford
Though some see him as a youthful model of Terence Crawford, he hasn’t proven the aggressiveness to assault his opponents the way in which the Nebraska native did earlier in his profession.
A timid high quality about Keyshawn, even in opposition to weak punchers like Jose Pedraza, makes it tough to see him changing into the subsequent Crawford. Keyshawn doesn’t like getting hit and can do something to keep away from it.
Furthermore, Keyshawn’s lack of want to avenge his many defeats in opposition to Cuban Andy Cruz makes him a poor candidate to step into the sneakers of Crawford.
