The Keyshawn Davis model: a first “legendary” defense against Edwin de los Santos reflects the Milking strategy of Shakur Stevenson’s title

Keyshawn Davis says he is about to be – “Legendary” For his first defense of his Light Wbo title against Edwin de los Santos in 18 days on June 7 at The Scope Arena de Norfolk, Virginia. Davis (13-0, 9 kos) chose from Los Santos (16-2, 14 kos) Fresh from the list of injuriesWith him who came out of an injury in his hand, a blood clot in his leg and a dismissal of 19 months. This selection of Davis is considered a business move to ensure that he does not lose his light wbo title in his first defense.

Davis’s “legendary” defense

The general impression of Keyshawn fans is that he is doing a strategic movement, selecting one of the least colorful Santos to use the victory to validate. When Los Santos was active, he would have been a formidable opponent, but he will not be his best given his long and almost two years of dismissal. De los Santos is considered a safe goal for Keyshawn when he compares it to the killers that fans wanted to fight, Andy Cruz and Raymond Muratalla. Keyshawn has not shown any interest in fighting these talents and you can understand why. They are too good.

When Davis captured Wbo belt, he painted an image of how everything was going to be different with him as a champion. He allegedly fought against all the sellers and did not go to anyone. His choice of Inactiva de los Santos, who lost his last struggle, says the opposite.

It suggests that Keyshawn goes to milk his Wbo title and will use it as a hanger to call Gervonta Davis for a unification struggle. In other words, do what his “brother” Shakur Stevenson has been doing since he captured his light title from the WBC. It was the Davis Tank 24 hours for a fight, telling the media that he deserves the struggle because he has a belt. Keyshawn will follow the same model with the thorough selection of opponents and tank calls. It is so predictable.

Keyshawn quickly returns to the ring after capturing the WBO title with a quarter -round of Denys Berinchyk’s fourth round on February 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York. After the fight, Davis said he wanted to fight Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz, but that did not happen. This would have been a bad choice. Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela recently defeated Pitbull.
