The lithe master WBO Keyshawn Davis (13-0, 9 KO) will defend against inactive Edwin de los Santos Edwin de los Santos in ESPN, Norfolk, Virginia.

Yesterday it was reported that de los Santos (16-2, 14 KO) rejected the offer and that Keyshawn is developing. Now the fight is completed. Probably negotiating games so that they rarely see de los santos to agree to the price.

Insidious strategy

When de los Santos actively fought years ago, he was a great warrior. He struck Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela and defeated Joseph Adorno. However, Edwin lost to Shakur Stevenson and William Foster III. These failures were red flags that de los Santos was not a real opportunity.

Fitting Keyshawn to De los Santos instead of one of the busy talents, such as Andy Cruz, is a insidious movement because there is no high risk.

Glass risk of jaw

Has a power to hit, i.e. Kryptonit Keyshawn. We saw the silver medalist of the Olympic 2020 Rulan by Nahir Albright in 2023 and since this bad experience, the highest rank suited him very carefully. Keyshawn has a glass jaw. So, if Rust Rusta de Los Santos may land on him one of his large shots, he will go to sleep, and the highest rank will have to put him in the next work.

What are the reasons for choosing de los Santos?

Comparative goals: Shakur Stevenson defeated de los Santos in his last fight in 2023. So if Keyshawn does a better job than he does, it gives him popularity. Fans who do not pay attention to dates and inaction will not be aware that Stevenson’s fight took place two years ago and since then De los Santos has not fought.
Make sure Keyshawn wins: Is there a better way to make sure Davis wins than to choose an inactive warrior who lost? This is perfect.
Make Davis look great: Fighting with an inactive guy is a great way for Keyshawn to look like 24 -carat gold.

Mike Coppinger gave the message From the fight Keyshawn vs. De los Santos, which is set for June 7. De los Santos He has not fought for two years Shakur Stevenson on November 16, 2023 from his 12-round loss of decision.

Two years

The obvious question is: why an inactive warrior who has not fought for centuries and did not lose the loss in the highest rank for the first defense of the Keyshawn title of his WBO belt? As for Davis looks better than he, it makes sense that de los Santos be chosen, but it doesn’t seem logical differently.

The idea of masters creating defense is to choose worthy pretenders. When the guy leaves the loss and two -year release, he gives the impression that the warrior was chosen to ensure that the master can keep her belt.

There is a ranking saints below Those rivals:

– Raymond Muratalla
– Abdullah Mason
– Lamont Roach Jr.
– Andy Cruz

"Robert Garcia Analyzes Tim Tszyu's Odds Against Erislandy Lara | Boxing News"

Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.

Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.

Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.

Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.

“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.

“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.

“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”

Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.

Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight

"Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight"

Deontay Wilder’s former head coach Malik Scott has delivered a knockout prediction for the American’s upcoming showdown with Jai Opetaia.

The pair will square off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on December 11, with Opetaia making his heavyweight debut on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

Despite him being the naturally smaller man, many are favouring the Australian – a former two-time world cruiserweight champion – to defeat his 10-years-older opponent.

It is, after all, generally accepted that Wilder has declined significantly since his trilogy bout with Furywho survived two knockdowns and scored an 11th-round knockout in their 2021 encounter.

Back then, Wilder had just joined forces with Scott, his former opponent, and the pair maintained their fighter-trainer relationship through subsequent defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

With Wilder now operating under different coaches, though, Scott has shared a balanced view of the Opetaia fight with Seconds Out.

“The fight’s got dynamite written all over it. Jai Opetaia is very dangerous, but he’s a smaller man that’s been hurt by smaller men than Deontay, slower men than Deontay.

“I’ve never seen Opetaia get hit by nobody like Deontay; I’ve seen Deontay get hit by bigger punchers than Opetaia. [But] one thing we can expect in this fight is a knockout.

“The name of the fight is ‘bad intentions’ – at least that’s what I’m calling it, because that’s what they share in common. What they share in common is mentality – they both are trying to hurt you.”

While he stopped short of predicting a winner, it is perhaps telling that Scott, despite his relationship with Wilder, has not explicitly favoured him to win by knockout.
