Interest in the fans of Davis’ fight with the recently inactive and injured de los Santos (16-2, 14 KO) was disappointing, and the fans perceived this as another choice of the highest rank to protect their master from being selected by predators, Andy Cruz and Raymond Muratalla. While Keyshawn talked about the fight against Cruz “one of those days”, nobody treats him seriously, because he quickly moves the division of 135 pounds.

Battle about the weight of Keyshawn Davis

During the weighing of the last two fights, Keyshawna looked out of weight loss and exhausted as a warrior could be without falling. Apparently, he will soon be forced to advance on weight, which means that he will never fight Cruz, Muratalla or Abdullah Mason.

This Edwin’s choice is seen as tilt By fans from the previous opponent Keyshawna, Denys Berinchyk, whom he knocked out in the fourth round in February last year. This is the main reason why fans see Keyshawn as avoiding fighters at level A 135, trying to stay as long as possible before moving to 140 or 147.

Davis’s Shakur Stevenson Playbook

The choice of de los Santos was reborn at Keyshawn, because the interest in this fight was very low and did not facilitate his delay. The choice of inactive fighters with a loss and a two -year release is not the smartest thing to do if you try to augment your popularity. However, it offers what Davis’s career strategy is. Following a careful path like his ‘brother,’ Shakur Stevenson, he did it when he had the highest position. Shakur fought with the most fine opposition before he was in favor of bail for signing matches.

The 26 -year -old de los Santos was wounded and sat on the shelf for the last two years after losing to Shakur Stevenson in 2023. He gave defensive artists many problems in this fight, but he did not have wheels to chase him around the ring to get W.

Some perceived this as a sign that he lacked readiness to put himself in the position of counteracting Shakur. Either way, de los Santos did not do enough in winning to get a victory.

Nervous saints

In a recent interview for WarriorDe los Santos said: “If I connect, I don’t think the fight will continue because it will end there.” He adds that his plan is “Take over this city” [Norfolk, Davis’ hometown] On Saturday evening.

Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown

"Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown"

Solomon Dacres expects to stop Bakhodir Jalolov tonight, but his record offers little support for that prediction against the 6’7″ two-time Olympic gold medalist.

Jalolov has looked sluggish enough lately to give critics room for skepticism. The dominant puncher seen in the amateur ranks rarely appears in his prize ring outings, prompting a few observers to sniff an upset. Regardless, Jalolov looking flat does not suddenly transform Dacres into a top threat.

“Got to get him out of there, man,” Dacres told SecondsOut. “Mid to late rounds.”

That would be a considerable leap for a fighter whose most revealing professional result remains his first-round stoppage defeat to David Adeleye in December 2024.

Dacres describes that loss as a “blip,” but it came against the most notable opponent he had faced. Across five years as a professional, he hasn’t built a record of beating contenders that would make a Jalolov knockout seem likely.

His points win against Vladyslav Sirenko also requires context. Sirenko amassed numbers without testing himself against true threats, meaning that victory hardly proves Dacres can deal with Jalolov’s height, reach, and southpaw boxing skills.

“This fight here is beyond English title level, man,” Dacres said. “This is like world level.”

Jalolov deserves criticism for how slowly his professional career has moved and for performances that haven’t matched expectations. His Olympic medals don’t excuse that, and Dacres has an opportunity to make him work.

Expecting Dacres to win because Jalolov underwhelms ignores his own modest punch output. Managing just three stoppages across ten victories, he lacks the firepower to back up big talk.

For Dacres to land the kinds of sustained combinations required to stop someone Jalolov’s size, he has to pin him down. Jalolov does not fight like a traditional, stationary heavyweight slugger. Even when he looks uninspired, he uses lateral footwork, maintains long range with his southpaw lead hand, and angles off before opponents can set their feet.

Dacres lacks both the foot speed to cut off the ring effectively and the explosive one-punch power to make Jalolov cautious. If Dacres tries to force the issue, he’ll put himself at risk of getting caught. Pressing aggressively against a 6’7″ southpaw who excels at firing straight left hands down the pipe is asking for trouble.

Unless Jalolov completely checks out mentally and stands against the ropes to trade, Dacres will be eating long jabs and counters all night, with a Jalolov stoppage being the far more probable outcome.
