The 20-year-old Light Welterweight pre-view Emiliano Vargas (13-0, 11 COs) told the media last night that he would “beat” Keyshawn Davis when the “Time is right ” After his second round victory over Giovannie Gonzalez (20-8-2, 15 COs) in their undercard fight in Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Las Vegas.
A shrinking window
If the Vargas-Keyshawn battle does not happen soon, it could be too late, because Keyshawn already looks like a full-fledged middleweight after he has rehydrated for his fights. He looked like a pure death on February 14 on February 14 for his last fight against WBO lightweight champion Denys Berinchyk. I’ve never seen a fighter who has drained. He looked skeleton to the weigh -in.
With the fact that Keyshawn is in that state, his days were numbered at 135. Emiliano may have to follow Keyshawn to 154 or 160 to fight, and it is questionable whether he has the frame to go so high. He is not a weight bully at 140.
Recently, Keyshawn looked crazy about the praise Emiliano Vargas received from fans and the great applause he received during his battles.
Davis said this in the remark about the young Vargas: “I will beat all their people (backside) On the same night. Tell them to set it up. “
Both fighters are with the highest rank, but Emiliano seems to get more attention from fans than Keyshawn because of his ability to cut through his opposition, achieve one -time knockout and of course have a famous father.
The son of the former 154 pound Fernando Vargas champion Emilano lit the crowd with his one -time knockout over Gonzalez. The shot would have stopped someone, including the massive lightweight Keyhawn, who probably had to compete at 140 because of its size.
Vargas showed his power and knocked out Gonzalez with a left hook to the head in the second round. The shot put Gonzalez flat on his back and forced an immediate downtime by referee Robert Hoyle at 2:06 p.m. There was no way the fight could continue with Giovannie who was so down.
Exceeding a star?
“They took the most controversial part of the interview. I gave him his flowers. He is a champion, isn’t it? ‘ have Emiliano Vargas to the media Last Saturday night he talked about Keyshawn Davis. “I’m not such a speaker. I just say how it is, but if you want to criticize me, I will criticize you. ‘
Emiliano misses the point. The underlying reason for Keyshawn who chases him with his bitter resounding remarks probably has nothing to do with the ‘controversial part’ of his interview. Davis does not seem happy that Emiliano is the new child on the block, just 20, and that he gets more and more love from fans than he is.
Keyshawn considers himself the young rifle at 26, but Top Rank has a new star that is rising, and he hasn’t even won a world title. Popularity has nothing to do with keeping world titles in this modern era of the sport. Belts are just now. Now, it’s about Hollywood stars and to have the ‘it’ factor.
“I think he’s a big fighter. I think I beat him if the time is right. I’m just 20 years old, ‘Vargas said about Keyshawn.’ All these other champions, all these other fighters, they are 27, 28, 30. So, I do a phenomenal job. I don’t look at someone else’s race or career because I know I have something special. People want to see me fighting.
“It’s sold out tonight. They (top -rank) put me early. I’m not fighting for a world title. I’m not a champion yet. I will fight on live ESPN later when the time comes. I just know that I’m not there yet. I’m definitely a superstar going on. ‘
“I’m going to allow the experts to do their job, it’s the highest rank. They know how to bring them slowly, ‘said Emilano’s father, Fernando Vargas, when asked who he wanted his son to fight. “People criticize you whether you go too slowly or too fast (with his career). I was criticized for getting stuck. I don’t want them to criticize him for it. We will have top rank do what they do, and we will continue to get better.
