A shrill-sounding Keyshawn Davis posted a protracted, rambling call-out video at this time concentrating on Gervonta Davis, saying he needs to combat him. Keyshawn (11-0, 7 KOs) beseeched the Baltimore native Tank Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) to “ship me the contract,” however then, within the subsequent breath, stated, “I don’t want you.”
It appeared like loopy double-talk, and what made it worse was Keyshawn showing virtually in tears. You possibly can inform by how emotionally keyed up he was in his call-out of Tank that he actually needs that combat, however how he’s always mentioning it virtually appears like he’s obsessed. It’s when it’s simply an occasional call-out, however whenever you hear it in each interview, it brings stalker alarm bells.
From final Friday, Keyshawn often talked about his win over his hand-picked opponent, Gustavo Lemos, saying that his victory over the Argentinian would be remembered for the subsequent ten years. I can’t decide if he was severe or messing round, speaking nonsense to get consideration. Keyshawn goes concerning the fallacious method together with his tactic of beating tomato cans, making an attempt to make them sound like gold, after which hounding Tank instantly after.
Beating Lemos isn’t even a place to begin towards getting a profitable, life-changing cash combat towards King Tank. That’s truly going backward. To begin constructing for an opportunity to fulfill his highness, Tank, Keyshawn must run-fighter Andersonville-esque gauntlet under with out coming aside alongside the way in which.
It might make extra sense for Keyshawn to ask for a combat towards Tank if he defeated The Large 4:
Andy Cruz
Raymond Muratalla
Edwin De Los Santos
Abdullah Mason
Lemos was coming off a loss to Richardson Hitchins, and his solely notable win on his resume got here towards 35-year-old Lee Selby. His resume is totally empty of wins over non-shot fighters, and he regarded poor in his loss to Hitchins on April sixth. Watching Hitchins-Lemos combat, it turns into instantly clear why Keyshawn selected Lemos.
Keyshawn Calls for Tank to Ship Contract
“Inform mild pores and skin [Gervonta Davis] to get out of his emotions and ship me a contract. It’s straight like that,” stated Keyshawn Davis on social media, saying he needs Gervonta Davis to ship him a contract to allow them to combat after beating the hand-picked Gustavo Lemos final Friday night time in Norfolk.
Keyshawn goes to be ready for the contract to be despatched from Tank Davis for a very long time. If he needs to achieve a following within the sport, he must cease utilizing Tank’s identify for clout and encourage Prime Rank to match him towards good fighters as an alternative of what they’ve been doing. Lemos, Miguel Madueno, Jose Pedraza, and Nahir Albright are top-tier fighters.
“I don’t want him, however I wish to combat this man, although. This ain’t obtained nothing to do with being powerful,” stated Keyshawn. “This ain’t obtained nothing to do with me proving myself. I wish to combat him straight like that, as a result of he been tricking the boxing sport for too lengthy.”
The 25-year-old Keyshawn might do himself a giant favor if he fought his outdated nemesis Andy Cruz of Cuba from his novice days and confirmed the boxing world that he might beat his four-time conqueror. Cruz has had Keyshawn’s quantity, and it might look good if he selected to combat him. Even when Keyshawn will get schooled once more, followers would respect his bravery.
The Businessman Needs To Be Doubted
“He makes [stuff] look good. He makes [stuff] look higher than what it’s. Resume what?” stated Keyshawn about Tank Davis. “What sort of resume do he obtained? He ain’t obtained no resume, man. He obtained fighters that we knew he was going to win. I’m not making an attempt to listen to none of that.”
Nobody is arguing that Tank Davis has a fantastic resume, however he’s nonetheless standard as a result of he places on thrilling performances. He doesn’t select smooth opposition coming off of losses like Keyshawn did with Lemos and Jose Pedraza.
“I would like the entire world to be towards me in that combat so I can present y’all how nice I actually am,” stated Keyshawn. “I don’t want no one for me for that combat. I’m going to be a celebrity subsequent yr, combating him or not. The one motive it’s not going to occur is as a result of he don’t wish to it to occur.”
There’s no probability that Keyshawn will ever be a celebrity with the way in which his profession goes. For one, he’s being moved in the identical method Edgar Berlanga was when he was with Prime Rank, combating completely tomato cans to make him look higher than he’s.
You don’t create superstars being matched towards cans like Keyshawn has been dealing with. If Keyshawn is fortunate, he is usually a pretend star within the Milli Vanilli mould after which look to get a Berlanga-esque cash-out.
“I’m going to do it to him. No Diddy. What occurred on the Scope Enviornment in Virginia goes to be remembered for no less than the subsequent ten years,” stated Davis.
