# 1 Keyshawn Davis predicts that he will eliminate WBO Lightweight Denys Berinchyk in 10 days on February 14 at Madison Square Garden Theater in New York.
Davis (12-0, 8 KB) has never been a punch with direct elimination during his short professional career or in amateur ranks, but his recent KO in the second round of the short and short 1’5 1 /2 ″ Gustavo Lemos on November 8 last year gave him the conviction that he is a guy in power.
Keyshawn is enormous for the 135 lb division, seeming as large as jar “Boots” of Welter weight when he rehydrates for his light weight fights. This could be the reason why he eliminated Lemos. Davis, 25, looked like two divisions larger than the tiny Gustavo in this fight.
Tank radar?
Berinchyk, however, has real skills, and if Keyshawn tries to explode it, he could be embarrassed as if he were in his four defeats against Andy Cruz and his bad performances against Nahir Albright and Miguel Madueno.
These fights have shown that Keyshawn must be protected and kept far, far from the high -level opposition unless it is a resting situation against Gervonta Davis. It is normal for Keyshawn to fight because the money was worth it after losing.
Tank can give him the same treatment as with Vasily Lomachenko, treating him as a leper to avoid. If this turns out to be the situation, I hope Keyshawn does not spend the next four to six years tracking it down or using its name to influence.
It would seem so bad. Keyshawn mentions it too much instead of adjusting his career by fighting Andy Cruz, Raymond Muratalla, William Zepeda and Ernesto Mercado. In other words, fighters who would likely be beating Keyshawn.
Brand “The Business Man”
“Right now, you don’t know how great I’m going to be. You will just know that the businessman is going to be great, “Keyshawn told Sean Zittel. “Right now, you don’t know how great I’m going to be. You will just know that the businessman is going to be great, “said Keyshawn about the nickname he gave him, which is probably the code to be selectively matching and has moved away from a dangerous opposition that would beat him.
“My coaches. We worked on things like that, “said Keyshawn when he was asked where he had learned to launch” sneaky punches “. “I did not enter the professional ranking knowing how to land these bodies. Work with “Bomac” [McIntyre]He increased my game, increased my level. My coaches put this in my arsenal.
Fans have not seen any size since the 2020 Olympic silver medalist, Keyshawn, who became a pro in 2021. He was confronted with limited opposition, like Jose Pedraza, Gustavo Lemos and Nahir Albright.
They are not real contenders at the top-15 at Lightweight. Top Rank seemed to hesitate to match Keyshawn against dangerous opponents who could potentially exhibit him, like Andy Cruz, William Zepeda and Raymond Muratalla.
Keyshawn’s performances against Albright and Miguel Maduo were so bad that he would have been crazy for the first row to throw him away with Zepeda, Andy Cruz or Edwin de Ls Santos and watch him be beaten. He did not show the kind of talent to beat these fighters. Keyshawn is still the same fighter as Cruz has beaten four times in amateurs.
Nothing has changed. The only difference is that its promoters associate it carefully against the battable opposition and even chose the weakest link among the champions at 135. They are not crazy enough to throw it in depth with one of the sharks and look Their investment lower the drain.
At this stage, Keyshawn is only another creation, just like the high -ranking veteran Edgar Berlanga. It is a smaller version and much more a self-promoter / winner.
The Teofimo League
“The first round,” Keyhawn told media When asked what round he would eliminate Berinchyk. “These guys run for me. I don’t know when I’m going to have teo [Lopez]. I’m tired of hunting. I made my own track. I made believers [the media]. Now I walk in my own way. If Teo arrives on my way, he will also light up.
Why would Teofimo Lopez want to fight Keyshawn? The two are not fighting in the same category of weight, and there is nothing for him to draw from it? Davis is not popular and has always fought anyone during his four -year professional career. If Keyshwn wants to prove himself at 140 to fight against Teofimo, he must get up and defeat Ernesto Mercado.
I do not think that Keyshawn fight Mercado because it is too good, but it would be the way to prove itself worthy of a title against the weight champion Welters WBO TEOFIMO LOPEZ instead of beging it after having beaten Gustavo Lemos.
