Keyshawn Davis’s Blueprint: A ‘Legendary’ First Defense Against Edwin de Los Santos Mirrors Shakur Stevenson’s Title Milk Strategy

Keyshawn Davis says he’s about to be “Legendaries” For his first defense of his WBO lightweight title against Edwin de Los Santos in 18 days on June 7 at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. Davis (13-0, 9 food) chose De Los Santos (16-2, 14 food) fresh from the injury listWith him coming from a hand injury, a blood clot in his leg and a 19 -month discharge. This choice by Davis is seen as a business housing to ensure that he does not lose his WBO lightweight title in his first defense.

Davis’s “legendary” defense

Fans’ overall impression of Keyshawn is that he makes a strategic move and chooses a less-added De Los Santos to use the victory to ratify himself. When De Los Santos was active, he would have been a formidable opponent, but he would not be at his best, given his long, almost two years of dismissal. De Los Santos is seen as a safe target for Keyshawn when he compares him to the killers who wanted fans to fight, Andy cruz and Raymond Muratalla. Keyshawn has shown no interest in fighting one of the talents, and you can understand why. They are too good.

When Davis captured his WBO belt, he painted a photo of how everything would differ with him as the champion. He was presumably fighting against all entrants and no one duck. His choice of inactive De Los Santos, who lost his last fight, says Anders.

This indicates that KeyShawn will milk its WBO title and use it as a perch to call Gervonta Davis for a unification fight. In other words, do what his ‘brother’ Shakur Stevenson has been doing since he won his WBC lightweight title. He rushed Tank Davis 24/7 for a fight and told the media that he deserves the fight because he holds a belt. Keyshawn will follow the same blueprint with the careful choice of opponents and the cries of the tank. It is so predictable.

Keyshawn returns to the ring quickly after capturing the WBO title on February 14 in Madison Square Garden in New York with a fourth round knockout of Denys Berinchyk. After the fight, Davis said he wanted to fight against Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz, but that couldn’t happen. It would also have been a bad choice. Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela recently beat Pitbull.

Only if you can see me in the camp. #7 June is about to be legendary again.
