Keyshawn Davis predicts a first knockout victory over WBO lightweight champion Denys Berinchyk on Saturday, February 14 at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York. (Kantnote: Keyshawn sounds like he has a cold).
Davis (12-0, 8 residences) he says dreamed of knocking out The Olympic silver medalist Berinchyk in 2012 (19-0, 9 COs) and then walked down the street and rushed people to him to praise him, which gave him superstar treatment. Keyshawn should try to try a knockout from his head and box on Berinchyk. If he tries to ko this man, he will go to school.
He says since he knocked out the last time he fought, Gustavo Lemos in the second round, he wants in the first round of Ko Berincyk. However, there is a big difference between the short, slow 5’5 ″ lemos and the 5’7 ″ which Bernchyk has difficult to hit.
Keyshawn already had major problems against Miguel Madueno and Nahir Albright at the pro level. He still refuses to fight the Cuban Andy Cruz after losing to him four times in the amateurs, showing the fans that he is afraid of his former conqueror.
What he hopes for is to defeat Berminchyk using any necessary means and to use the WBO belt as a lure to make Gervonta Davis agree to fight him. This is unlikely to happen for Keyshawn, because even if he would take off the BBO belt of Berinchyk, he would outgrow the 135 pound division before Tank Davis preferred to fight against him.
He is already massive for the lightweight section. In a year or two he will be too large for the weight class. Tank is not going to move to 140 or 147 to fight Keyshawn.
“I think Keyhawn’s pro experience is not enough, and he’s going to get into trouble when he comes in with fighters who are going to move, who has greater experience than him, who will give him angles,” Denys Berinchyk said Fighting type About his fight against Keyshawn Davis this Saturday night.
“I think it’s going to be a tactical battle like a chess match, because he also has a lot of experience. He knows I have this experience too.
‘Against Keyhawn, my style will be uncomfortable because I move a lot, use corners and change views. All this will be uncomfortable for him. Don’t cut on February 14. You will see everything, ”says Berinchyk.
In his first 11 fights, Keyshawn looked as an lead on average before finally looking good for the first time in his last match against Gustavo Lemos on November 8. Of course, Lemos had to drain from 140, and he came with a loss of Richardson Hitchins. Keyshawn does not say why he chose an opponent who was beaten in his last fight, rather than unbeaten lightweight Andy Cruz, but I think we know the answer.
“I had to expect the unexpected from Berinchyk to come. What do I expect from myself? I expect a first round knock out. I already feel like I can do it, and I’m definitely going to try to do it, ”Keyhawn said Fight Hub TV.
“It’s just me. I just feel like I can do it (Ko Bernchyk in the first round). In my last fight I got a second round (against Gustavo Lemos). In this battle, I’m going to go for a first round this time. I feel like Berinchyk is a wonderful fighter, but he just isn’t at my level. ‘
