Coach Bernie Tha Boxer predicts Keyshawn Davis will go to “another galaxy” after he defeats WBO light-weight champion Denys Berinchyk on Friday evening of their headliner at Madison Sq. Backyard Theater in New York Metropolis.
Bernie believes Keyshawn (12-0, 8 KOs) will grow to be a star from this battle, and he feels he gained’t want a unification battle in opposition to Gervonta Davis. That’s the man that he’s been speaking about all through the promotion of his battle in opposition to Berinchyk (19-0, 9 KOs), mentioning him greater than the man in entrance of him.
Possibly Keyshawn can go to the HD1 Galaxy, 13.5 billion light-years away, and discover the proper opponent to rework him into a real star. It’s not occurring right here along with his restricted time left at 135.
Chasing Paydays
Bernie says Keyshawn is already “top of the class” at 135 along with his performances since turning professional 4 years in the past. Nevertheless, Bernie feels Keyshawn doesn’t have to show he’s the perfect by preventing Andy Cruz as a result of it doesn’t make enterprise “sense.”
In different phrases, Keyshawn solely needs cash concerned along with his dangers. Aside from that, he’ll take non-risky fights, which he’s executed his whole profession. It simply seems like Keyshawn’s complete profession is a hustle.
“Where Keyshawn goes after this is to another galaxy. It’s no hype. He’s passed all his tests with flying colors,” mentioned coach Bernie Tha Boxer to Fighthype about his expectations for Keyshawn Davis if he’s victorious on Friday evening in opposition to WBO light-weight champion Denys Berinchyk.
“As soon as we [Keyshawn] grow to be a world champion, you possibly can’t take that away. It’s etched in stone. Now we received to a different galaxy. He has one other feather in his cap to exalt him. One of many latest, youngest, thrilling champions.
“Tank don’t have no class or no nothing about no history. I never heard Keyshawn say he wants to unify. I just know Keyshawn is a star, and he wants to be a champion. He’s putting on great performances. Keyshawn is a must-see. We don’t got to have no belt on the line.”
The Weight Reduce Reaper
I don’t know if Bernie has been noticing how Keyshawn blows up after rehydrating and the way death-like he regarded at present, making weight, however he’s not going to have the ability to keep at light-weight for for much longer. Making the 135 weight restrict seems prefer it’s killing Keyshawn, and he’s 25. He’s getting greater and ought to be already at 140, on the very least, if not 147. While you’re rehydrating to the mid-150s, you shouldn’t be preventing at 135.
If Keyshawn wins on Saturday evening in opposition to Berinchyk to seize the WBO light-weight belt, he gained’t go to the subsequent galaxy until he’s speaking about shifting as much as mild welterweight [140]. Davis can certainly transfer up there, however even that weight class gained’t be simple for him to make as a result of he’s a real 147-pounder.
If Keyshawn chooses to remain at 135, he’s not going to get any of those three:
– Gervonta Davis– Isaac ‘Pitbull Cruz– Vasily Lomachenko
These are the one three guys Keyshawn needs, and that’s as a result of he can get a giant payday preventing them, not as a result of he cares about constructing a legacy. He gained’t battle his pal Shakur Stevenson.
Paper Champ Path
Probably, Keyshawn will make two or three title defenses, if he’s fortunate, in opposition to no-name opposition earlier than being pressured to maneuver as much as 140 or 147 after he fails to make weight at light-weight. The WBO title gained’t enhance his recognition as a result of he’s not preventing a preferred man to win it, and his defenses will probably be in opposition to unknowns, like those he’s been preventing his whole profession.
“The fact that he’s the top of his class. You can’t be but the champion when you’re the best. Hopefully, he gets the chance to prove it down the line that he’s a great fighter,” Bernie mentioned. “Why are they supporting Tank when he don’t do nothing like a champion?
Followers need to see Tank Davis as a result of he’s thrilling to look at, he scores knockouts, and his fights convey drama. He’s not being maneuvered like Keyshawn is, avoiding a man that beat him 4 occasions, Andy Cruz, and being boring more often than not. The one battle in Keyshawn’s 12-fight profession that was entertaining was his mismatch in opposition to Gustavo Lemos. That man was gradual, simple to hit, and coming off a loss to Richardson Hitchins.
“Keyshawn is a businessman. It’s a business, and if it makes sense, let’s fight, just like the other guy [Andy Cruz?]. They keep talking about the other guy. Why is [Olympic] gold chasing silver [Keyshawn], so to speak?” mentioned Bernie.
The justifications given by Keyshawn and Bernie for why they’re not taking the battle with Andy Cruz aren’t plausible to the followers as a result of he’s preventing guys which are beneath him. Keyshawn’s latest opponents, Gustavo Lemos, Miguel Madueno, Jose Pedraza, and Nahir Albright, weren’t fighters that introduced in “business.”These weren’t huge fights both, and none of these guys gained Olympic gold medals like Andy Cruz. Additionally they didn’t beat Keyshawn 4 occasions within the amateurs.
“His [Andy Cruz] whole identity is based on Keyshawn. Everybody that is talking about him and Keyshawn. He’s never beaten Keyshawn. He’s only won against Keyshawn. So everything he’s doing is off his coattails,” mentioned Bernie.
