Comments Thread For: Keyshawn Davis: "I Would Love To Fight Lomachenko By The End Of This Year"

[theface07]

How about someone young Like Murutalla, Zepeda, or De Los Santos.

This new young guys just want to keep fighting old guys out the door.

Nonsense. Keyshawn is only 9 fights in. You would be a horrible matchmaker. He's moving at a decent pace. There's nothing wrong with fighting Pedraza next at this point in his career even if he's faded. If he does great against Pedraza then you step him up to another relevant prospect like himself, or a fringe contender nearer to his prime than Pedraza. If you look at the records of his first 9 opponents, it's much better than the bulk of pro boxer's first so many fights. Here are the records of all the "killers" Mayweather Jr, who many people claim is #1 or #2 of his era, fought in his first 9 fights:

#1: 0-0

#2: 1-1

#3: 6-3

#4: 0-0

#5: 9-9-2

#6: 19-8

#7: 12-5-1

#8: 12-3-1

#9: 1-13-1

”At just 24 years old.”

24 is the end of your physical prime. From 24 years old, your reflexes start to slow down. From 28 your cardiovascular y stem begins to slip.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we got to see the most talented fighters actually face each other when they were somewhere near their primes, instead of waiting until they are 10 years past it?
Almost seems common boxers being kept away from belts and good fights until you’re in your 30’s.

This is just pure BS. The average athlete is in their prime from twenty into their early thirties. If you are a dedicated pro athlete, the end of your prime should certainly not be at 24 years old. That is a ridiculous notion.

The career of Keyshawn Davis has been going the exact opposite of slow and steady. The mundane run-of-the-mill fights that prospect normally take to get their feet wet normally last for years. Davis though, graduated a while ago. Now, he's seemingly prepared for the next phase.

Keyshawn is 24 years old and calling out Loma. Yet here sits tttank whose 30 and still working up the courage.

??? Will U be on weed in that fight too?

[Gary Coleman]

I got Loma, easy.

[boxingitis]

You had Loma beating Haney right? But have a problem with Keyshawn vs Loma?

I’m not really understanding. Loma is the biggest name at 135 under top rank who Davis just happens to be with, it’s a great fight. Plus, why wouldn’t a prospect/contender be trying to fight for a world title? (Presuming he beats Kambosos).

Should Oscar have not fought Chavez? Should Floyd have not fought Oscar?
Should Hopkins have not fought Tito?

Just because they were set to retire soon?

Golden Boy aren’t letting Zepeda near anyone.. he’s already turned down fights. at 135.

Muratalla is a great fight. But nobody is passing up a Loma opportunity.

First Old Pedraza then Old Loma. Amazing.

I'm not a matchmaker and so aren't you. Your just fan who THINKS he would good match maker. I know you enjoy watching young guys taking old farts to pad their records.

I prefer Keyshawn face Murutalla than Loma Next.

His comment wasn't Keyshawn's best interest though, he doesn't want his favorite old boxer to be used as a sacrificial lamb for the younger guys/have dangerous matchups.

Best case scenario is Shakur-Loma unify in the Summer. Davis vs either would be very interesting but I'd prefer he have a couple more step up fights first for his own benefit.

His next fight is in early February while Loma is scheduled for May. If they are serious about making the fight with Loma or any world title level fight, Davis probably could get another fight around June or so, then another around fall season in the undercard of Loma-Shakur unification. Then if he is still considered good stuff and a worthy guy he can fight the winner next, possibly early next year assuming there isn't a mandatory already scheduled.
