Keyshawn Davis Urges Gervonta Davis To Fight Someone Notable​

BY HANS THEMISTODE

After a meager 2022 that included just one appearance, Gervonta “Tank” Davis was determined to turn things around. In the first week of the new year, the current lightweight WBA “Regular” belt holder defended his secondary crown against Hector Luis Garcia.
The 31-year-old Dominican seemingly earned his stripes following an impressive year. After scoring a monumental upset over Chris Colbert in February of 2022, Garcia parlayed that victory into world title glory, stripping Roger Gutierrez of his WBA super featherweight trinket just a few months later.
Yet, regardless of his sudden rise to fame, the betting world succinctly made Davis a gargantuan favorite. While Garcia appeared unfazed by his perpetual line of naysayers, Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) would go on to leave the former Olympian nearly unconscious during their showdown.
Although the results were spectacular, Keyshawn Davis recently revealed that he wasn’t surprised by the Baltimore native’s performance.
“Tank is Tank,” said Keyshawn to BoxingScene.com. “Tank is great. He did the expected for me.”
A proven deadly puncher, Gervonta has a penchant for closing the show in the blink of an eye. But, regardless of his jaw-cracking power, Keyshawn has grown sick and tired of watching the 28-year-old take on tenuous opposition.
In totality, Keyshawn is well aware that the powerful southpaw is not only a talented fighter but also a gigantic star. Having sold-out countless arenas worldwide, Keyshawn concedes that the 135-pound secondary titlist has the sort of star power that Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson, and Teofimo Lopez simply don’t enjoy.
Nevertheless, in Keyshawn's view, his ability to put butts in seats shouldn't exclude Gervonta from scathing criticism surrounding his questionable choice of opponents.
“Alright Tank, at this point bro, fight somebody bro. You’re selling out all the arenas, you’re a superstar. You was pro before the Devin Haney’s, the Shakur Stevenson’s, the Teofimo’s all of that. You gotta fight somebody. When the f--- are you gonna fight somebody?”
Davis is close to finalizing a deal to face Ryan Garcia - which is going to become a major event. The bout is slated to land in the month of April.

Why don't you fight him then Keyshawn? Old cheerleader ass nikka.

Notice how once again CAPpinger released the 'leak' of a Spence-Thurman fight @154 in April and weeks later we still have no official announcement. If they are gonna fight in April they are cutting it very close. Didn't he also leak the Spence-Crawford shyt too. Maybe now y'all will stop listening to that liar.

Rolly Romero To Challenge Alberto Puello For WBA 140-Pound Title; April Date, Venue TBD​

Rolly Romero will get a title shot in his first fight at the 140-pound limit.
BoxingScene.com has learned that Romero will challenge unbeaten WBA super lightweight champ Alberto Puello for the Dominican southpaw’s title at some point in April at a venue to be determined. Showtime is expected to televise the Puello-Romero match as the main event of a tripleheader.
Romero (14-1, 12 KOs) committed to moving up five pounds in weight following his sixth-round, technical-knockout loss to rival Gervonta Davis on May 28 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The North Las Vegas, Nevada native has boxed at or near the lightweight limit of 135 pounds throughout his six-year professional career.
The 27-year-old Romero led Davis on one scorecard entering the sixth round of their Showtime Pay-Per-View main event. Baltimore’s Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) was ahead according to judges Ron McNair (49-46) and Robin Taylor (48-47), but judge Kevin Morgan had Romero in front 48-47 through five rounds of action.
Davis dropped Romero with a well-timed left hand in the sixth round. Romero reached his feet in time to beat referee David Fields’ count, but Fields stopped their 12-round bout at 2:39 of the sixth round because he felt Romero was in no condition to continue.
Puello, meanwhile, will make the first defense of a WBA belt that he won almost six months ago in Hollywood, Florida.
The 28-year-old Puello edged Uzbekistan’s Batyr Akhmedov by 12-round split decision to win that title August 20 at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Judges Benoit Roussel and Mark Streisand both scored Puello a 117-111 winner of what was a very closely contested fight. Judge Lisa Giampa scored that bout 115-113 for Akhmedov (9-2, 8 KOs).
Puello won a then-vacant WBA belt Josh Taylor relinquished last May because the unbeaten Scottish southpaw didn’t want to make a mandatory defense against Puello.

Seems like Golden Boy is using Cappinger for negotiation tactics

 

[Knicksman20]

That would be a good scrap. Prograis's strong but he's there to be hit. He'd definitely test Ryan's chin though lol
