Keyshawn Davis is in the face on June 7

WBO lightweight champion Keyshawn Davis (13-0, 9 COs) will defend on June 7 at inactive #13 ranks Edwin de Los Santos at Espn in Norfolk, Virginia.

Yesterday it was reported that De Los Santos (16-2, 14 COs) rejected the offer and that Keyshawn was underway. Now the battle has been done. Probably negotiation on games to rarely see De Los Santos agrees to the price.

Sneaky strategy

When De Los Santos fought actively years ago, he was an excellent fighter. He knocked out Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela and beat Joseph Adorno. However, Edwin lost to Shakur Stevenson and William Foster III. These defeats were red flags that De Los Santos was not the right matter.

To fit Keyshawn against De Los Santos instead of one of the active talents, such as Andy Cruz, is a sneaking move because there are not many risks.

Glass jaw risk

He does have punch power, that is Keyshawn’s Kryptonite. We saw how Olympic silver medalist Davis was injured by Nahir Albright in 2023 in 2020, and since the bad experience, the top rank has very carefully matched him. Keyshawn has a glass jaw. So, if the Ring Rusty de Los Santos can end up on him, he will go to bed, and the highest rank should put him on another rebuilding track.

What are the reasons why De Los Santos is selected?

1. Comparative purposes: Shakur Stevenson beat De Los Santos in his last fight in 2023. So if Keyshawn does a better job than he does, it gives him a boost in popularity. Fans who do not pay attention to dates and inactivity will not be aware that the Stevenson struggle took place two years ago and that De Los Santos has not fought since.
2. Ensure Keyhawn wins: What better way to make sure Davis wins than choosing an inactive fighter coming from a loss? It’s perfect.
3. Let Davis look good: Fighting an inactive man is an excellent way to make Keyshawn look like 24k gold.

Mike Coppinger broke the news of the Keyshawn vs. De Los Santos Fight, which was set on June 7. De los santos did not fight in two years Since his 12-round unanimous decision loss to Shakur Stevenson on November 16, 2023.

Two years out

The obvious question is: Why is an inactive fighter who has not fought in centuries and has a loss selected by the top ranking for Keyhawn’s first title defense of his WBO belt? If the idea is to make Davis look better than him, it makes sense that De Los Santos is chosen, but it does not otherwise seem logical.

The idea behind champions that makes defense is to choose worthy contenders. If a man has a loss and a two -year discharge, it gives the impression that the fighter has been cherries to ensure that the champion can hold on to his belt.
