In an interview, Keyshawn Davis predicted that his four -time conqueror Andy Cruz would “lose” before he came where he was. Despite losing against Cuban 2020 Olympic gold medalist Cruz (4-0, 20 COs), he says he will be beaten by someone along the way.

Cruz is fighting against Omar Salcido (20-1, 14 COs) tonight in a 10-round WBC lightweight title switch on the bottom map of Diego Pacheco vs. Steven Nelson at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Chelsea Ballroom, Las Vegas.
In the interview with Keyshawn (12-0, 8 COs) it seemed clear that he wants cruz to lose;; Maybe it removes the pressure he has to do with fans and the media to fight him.
They want him to fight against Cruz so that he can try to avenge at least one of his four losses. However, Keyshawn repeatedly rejected fights and said he was under him because he had only been four fights since he became pro.
Cruz’s “Fragility”
“I feel he’s going to lose before he gets to this level. I really feel he’s going to lose, ”Keyhawn Davis said Millcity box About Andy Cruz, and said he would be beaten before coming where he was.
“I just feel he’s going to lose before he gets to me, point. They better make him a compulsory quick before the s *** happens to him.
Davis still sounds bitter about his four defeats against Andy Cruz in the amateurs, and now he hopes he will be beaten by someone so he doesn’t have to worry about running his career as he did in the amateurs.
“He is fragile. He has no respectful pop, ”Keyshawn said of Cruz. “If you can’t like someone from you, what are you going to do? Are you going to keep dancing and balling the whole 12 rounds? A three -fold battle and a twelve -batting fight is a big difference. “
Cruz dusted Antonio Moran out in the seventh round in his last fight on August 3, and looked powerful in that fight. What he showed in that battle is more than enough power to ko anyone in the division, including Keyhawn. He got a lot of fists on Moran who broke him, and he was hurt in the seventh with a sting.
“Ten ounces and eight ounces are a big difference. He called my name and called me his son. That s *** is funny to me. I know what’s going on with his team. It needs help. He needs a better team. I just think he has no honorable power.
“Average Pro”
“You are crazy if you think it’s going to work against a fighter like me. I feel he was a phenomenal amateur, but he’s going to be an average pro. He has just been hurt by his last opponent (Antonio Moran). Was it not the opponent who knocked out Devin Haney (six years ago on May 25, 2019, in the seventh round? The same round in which Cruz Moran co’d).
“If you get hurt in your development phase, what do you think I’m going to do to you?” said Davis. Have you ever seen me get hurt or flattened? ”
Nahir Albright chased Keyshawn in their fight on October 14, 2023. It was a developmental fight, and Davis was hurt. After the fight, he started talking to buy a house because his victory was reversed because of his positive test for a banned substance.
“All he can do is keep my name on keeping him relevant,” Keyshawn said about Cruz. “I watched Andy Cruz’s Pro debut (against Juan Carlos Burgos on July 15, 2023). After that, I never watched a full Andy Cruz fight except for his debut.
“Keep building your name from mine. Keep the commentators calling my name. Hopefully you can get to me one day, ”says Davis, with a false smile on his face. “I will knock him out. My mission is to become world champion and unite.
“If he doesn’t want to fight with me, we’re going to try to get the biggest name. I know I’ll knock Andy Cruz out. I said that in the amateurs when I lost against this guy (four times). “When I become pro, I strike this guy.” I just don’t have the perfect amateur style he has. I just don’t, but pro.
“He is not so exciting”
“That’s how he fights. That’s Andy Cruz, ”Keyshawn said when he said that Cruz had moved a lot in his amateur fights. “Of course, he is a counter -punch. He does not come forward and walk you down with fist.
“That’s why he’s not so exciting, because he literally wants to sit back and let others hit him so that he can do all that difficult s *** and keep you counteract and fist. It actually works well in the amateurs. Then he starts to come forward with a bull s ***, but he’s not really a forward fighter.
“He really wants to sit back, play with his sting and let someone miss and hit him. That’s actually how he fights. I just don’t see it working for 12 laps with my. I’m going to knock you out a **.
“Lomachenko has one more fight in him. He is on top rank’s side. Okay, I’m going to try to go the Lomachenko route. If he doesn’t want to fight with me. Okay, I’m going to try to go the light skin (Gervonta Davis) route.
Keyshawn still didn’t beat any significant fighters. He was protected by top rank since his close call with Nahir Albright when he hurt him. Davis’s best victories are against these fighters:
– Jose Pedraza: 35
