Terenka Crawford supported his friend, Keyshawn Davis, after he arrived at the amount of 4.3 overweight at 139.3 pounds for defending his lithe WBO belt against the pretender to the Edwin de los Santos ranking, on Saturday, June 7, in Norfolk in Virginia.

Miss intended weight?

The former world champion in four letters Crawford was nonchalant about Keyshawn (13-0, 9 KO) missing by such a wide margin, saying: “This is happening.” However, fans perceive this as Davis’s insidious strategy to gain an advantage and avoid a potentially changing career loss compared to immense punching Southpaw de los Santos (16-2, 14 KO).

They note that Keyshawn has not shown any signs of exhaustion or fatigue, which is a characteristic signal that he deliberately overlooked the weight to the game. People perceive Davis as “Bully weighing” Noticing that he seemed to weigh over 160 pounds in his last fight with the lithe champion WBO Denys Berinchyk on February 14. “

Proposed hydration limit

Some fans think it must be RThe eodency limit of six pounds for tomorrow morning to prevent Keyshawn 15 to 20 pounds and looking like a full average weight when it enters the ring. The hydration limit would make the fight a bit fair.

Crawford defends Miss Davis

“He says he has shifted the weight. Nobody knows his body. Time to get up,” said Crawford WarriorReacting to Keyshawn Davis is missing on Friday. “Many times people do not gain weight. This is happening.”

You must wonder how Crawford would feel if his opponent missed the weight of 4.5 pounds for their fight. Did he move his arms, behaving, as if it was only one of these things or would he shout a bloody murder? I saw Crawford complaining without interruption, pressing to enhance the salary or the hydration limit on the day of the fight.

“It probably has grown out of it. I am not sure how it goes as far as possible to become empty, but I will keep up,” said Abdullah Mason Warrior About the lack of Keyshawn weighing. “I’m still looking for grabbing this belt.”

Fresh look at weighing

To make Keyshawn look like physically rested and unlimited, it is a red flag for fans on social media, that it was intentional on his part. He did not even try to bring weight because he said that it was his last fight at 135. So, if this was his last fight, why, at hell, Keyshawn would be worried? Think about it.

What can you get thanks to weight when you know that this is your last fight in the division and you have to win? If you are a bang, who should fight for 147 or 154, why should you want to kill yourself to get distance on weight?

“First of all, tomorrow I care about Nakoscilia. Either way, I’m going for this belt. Perhaps. If he moves to 140, we’ll meet at 140,” said Mason about him and Keyshawn finally fighting in a lithe welterweight.

Everything that Mason has to do is win tomorrow evening against Nakathila, and he will fight for the free title WBO Lightweight Axt against No. 1 Sam Noakes. However, as Abdullah looked, he doesn’t speak lithe long. It seems that he will be forced to move to 140 in several fights.

“Boxing will determine who I am fighting when I get there. I think it’s boxing, he grows out of this weight class and he fights for 140,” said Mason. “So maybe I will meet him at the age of 140. This is boxing. This is happening. I still want to win this title, but it comes.”

I would not be so sure that I met Keyshawn at the age of 140 if I was a freemason because it may not happen. Although Davis looked in the last two fights, only 140 will be exhausted, because it is enough. It must be at least 147, and preferably 154. Apparently it will be based on the fight in a younger medium scale and try every trick in the book to keep your weight to avoid this division filled with sharks. This is where he should be if he was not a massive tyrant.

“I know my set of skills. I know what I can do when I enter this ring. When this bell rings, it is different. When I get in front of the opponent, and I feel that something has something, then my IQ goes up. My skill configuration goes up. I feel like every opponent who put in with me, I will be able to keep my own and turn to the end,” said Abdullah.

The Shakur Stevenson vs. Devin Haney fight is in the works, but there is one major issue standing in the way

Shakur Stevenson vs Devin Haney is ‘in talks’ but one major issue stands in the way

Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney are reportedly in talks for an all-American superfight.

Stevenson scored the biggest victory of his career this year, moving up to super lightweight to defeat Teofimo Lopez to become a four-division world champion.

Haney won titles in three weight classes and was undisputed at lightweight. Most recently he defeated Brian Norman Jr. for the WBO welterweight world title.

Both men have impressed in their recent wins and are widely considered two of the most technically elite fighters in the sport today. A fight between the two has been discussed for a long time, and The Ring’s Mike Coppinger reported that it could now become a reality if one key hurdle can be overcome – an agreed weight limit.

This problem is not effortless to solve and may prove too stern for negotiations to overcome. Haney said he felt best at welterweight and looked exhausted at super lightweight. Stevenson argues that his opponent faced Jose Ramirez at the 144-pound catchweight last year and could do the same again. While Haney handled the weight well and performed well on the night, there is no doubt he would have been at a disadvantage.

Stevenson, however, argued that he is still a natural lightweight – even though he looks comfortable against Lopez at 140 pounds – and that a meeting under the welterweight limit creates a more even playing field.

Time will tell whether this can be agreed behind the scenes. A significant amount could assist move things forward, but given their undefeated records, pound-for-pound status and position as the face of American boxing, both Stevenson and Haney will be cautious in making decisions.

David Benavidez says his speed will be too much for Ramirez

Image: David Benavidez Says His Speed Will Be Too Much For Ramirez

David Benavidez doesn’t think size alone will decide his fight against Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez. Ahead of the cruiserweight title clash, Benavidez says the advantage will come down to speed, combinations and a style that he feels Ramirez hasn’t faced before.

Benavidez said Ramirez is a bigger man and is used to facing naturally bigger opponents in the cruiserweight division, but he doesn’t see it as a problem. He believes the slower pace typical of this weight will work to his advantage once the punches start falling.


Benavidez said Ramirez has never faced someone like him in an official fight. Although both have sparred in the past, Benavidez has made it clear that he sees a major difference between rounds in the gym and fighting him under the lights for twelve rounds.

“There are a lot of opportunities to hit him with a lot of combinations because he is slower,” Benavidez told Double3 Coverage. “My speed, my movement and my defense will be too much for him and I will surely overwhelm and drown him with pressure and volume.”

It’s compelling that he so casually disregards the size difference. While Zurdo Ramirez is a natural cruiserweight and holds the unified WBA/WBO titles, Benavidez is betting that speed and volume will be the universal equalizer.

Benavidez sounds like a man who thinks he’s found a flaw in the system. Moving up to cruiserweight, he believes his hand speed will be a blur compared to fighters in the 200-pound division. But here comes the fear of a massacre.

He already says this is “his era.” When a fighter begins to look beyond a unified champion like Ramirez toward a September coronation or a legacy-defining run, he usually leaves his chin exposed.

On the other hand, bookmakers do not predict a massacre, at least not in the case of Benavidez. There’s a reason he’s a -600 favorite. Most analysts believe he is just unique enough that his volume will break Zurdo’s rhythm before the size difference becomes a factor.

Shakur Stevenson responds to report that he is in talks to face Devin Haney next

Shakur Stevenson has hit the brakes following reports that he is in preliminary talks to fight Devin Haney.

Both elite Americans have claims to pound-for-pound status, both boast undefeated records and are considered among the most defensively gifted operators of the contemporary era.

However, a weight class or two has always separated them, and Haney’s recent move to welterweight – a division Stevenson says he can get to but is in no rush – seemed to make that fight less likely.

To make that happen, Stevenson said he would like Haney to agree to a catchweight of 144 pounds, the same limit he reached when defeating Jose Ramirez in 2025.

Today, The Ring’s Mike Coppinger reported that discussions had already begun, but the weight was a sticking point, with Stevenson likely still insisting on the stipulation, but Haney was keen on staying at 147 pounds.

However, Stevenson has now responded to Coppinger’s claim by speaking further X that there was no contact between the teams.

“I know the fans like to get excited and can toy with you all and easily manipulate you, but this rumor is dead for the second time. I haven’t heard a word about it, [I don’t know] what are they? [trying to] hide or hide, but me and my team haven’t heard any nonsense.”

It’s unclear where Haney and Stevenson will go next Haney is reportedly considering a move to Zuffa Boxing and Stevenson are still deciding which division to compete in.

For now, it seems any excitement about their meeting on the ropes is premature.
