Promotor Eddie Hearn wants to see the WBO Keyshawn Davis champion fighting Andy Cruz, and Shakur Stevenson Battle Gervont Davis. The winners of the two struggles would then meet to decide who the best dog is at 135.
This plan does not seem to happen. First, Keyshawn (13-0, 9 ko) says that “They will not fight Cruz for the little things. “He expects big money, which will not happen. He says that if the money doesn’t have in 135, Andy Cruz will have to fight him at 140 after he’s going upstairs. This is if the fight is worth it.
KEYSHAWN -LIGHTS
Cruz is not popular enough for Top Rank or ESPN to offer more dough for that fight than what Keyshawn was against 13 No name He built his record. None of the fighters who keshawn fought was known. Cruz (5-0, 2 ko) is in the same boat. He also fought against obscure opposition, and Hearn does not give him great promotional pressure as he does with Shakur.
Davis, 25, recently caught a lightweight WBO from Denys Berinchyka on February 14th, throwing it out in the fourth round. After rehydrating for that fight, he looked giant, dwarf berinchyka in size. Keyshawn looked like rehydrated medium weight inside the ring that night. I don’t know how he ever made weight.
“I would love to see Shakura Stevenson against Gervont Davis and Keyshawn Davis against Andy Cruz. The winners fight the winner,” said Eddie Hearn Fix.
“I want to fight Andy Cruz before I go [up to 140]. I’m not fighting for him for little things,”Keyshawn said on Shawn Porter YouTube Channel on Andy Cruz. “He doesn’t get the money for that s ***,” Davis said when he said that Cruz was the champion in the lightweight category of WBC Shakur Stevenson no. 1.
“I will fight against him [Cruz] For the same amount of money he fought. No, sir, “Keyshawn said of not being willing to fight Andy Cruz for the same amount of money, in the fight against 13 other guys on which he built his record.
So there is. Keyshaww will not fight Cruz before leaving the £ 135 division. This is a good thing for him because Cruz would educate him as he did in amateurs four times when they fought.
No money, no fight
“You have Latin fighter [Andy Cruz]Who does not speak English is not from America. It is very difficult to promote it. Because of this, we heard Keyshawn’s name withdrawn because there is no way to promote it in particular because it has nothing to do with American networks or with people watching boxing [Note: Cruz fights on DAZN].
“That’s why they connect everything [reminding fans Cruz holds 4-0 record against Davis]. Keyshawn is right. If it makes a little thing [paying the same money as his past 13 opponents]There is no sense. You may need to pull it up to 140]”Porter said.
“I agree. If he doesn’t make money, there is no sense“, Keyshawn said.” If we can make a lot of money at 140 instead of 135, he has to get to 140. I can throw out Canela, and they would be like, “I don’t know. That Andy Cruz Kid. That Andy Cruz Kid won you four times in amateurs.” I just dropped Canela, brother. I have to get it, “Davis said.
Cruz beat Keyshawn all four times when they fought in amateurs. It sounds like Davis came up with a good excuse to tell fans why he would still avoid Cruza. Just tell the public that the fight is not paid. In this way, he can preserve his undefeated record longer.
Keyshawn said on Porter’s channel that his promoters in Top Ranko have someone for him to fight the next one. He wouldn’t say who it was, but the smile on his face suggested that he would fight Isaac ‘Pitbulla’ Cruza. What a mismatch will be.
