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.

Joseph Parker, a momentary heavyweight champion of WBO, says that he is interested in fighting the trilogy match with the IBF claimant, Derek Chisor on the Undercard of Oleksandr Utyk vs. Daniel Dubois 2 July 19 at the Wembley stadium in London.

PUSH TRYLOGIGIA Parker’s Chisora

Parker (36-3, 24 KO) says that the idea of ​​fighting 41-year-old Chisora ​​is to stay “occupied” While he is waiting for the challenge of the winner of the Usyk-Dubois fight.

It is not a fight that the British journeyman at a high level of Chisor (36-13, 23 KO) would probably be interested in taking up, because he is a mandatory IBF for Dubois, which means that he is in a queue to challenge the winner of his clash with Oleksandre. It would be the 50th fight in the Chisora’s career, and before retiring will get a lot of payment. Derek will probably connect like Draft horse As long as his promoters give him concerts for Headliner.

Apparently Derek will retire after 50. There are doubts whether he will do it because he still receives great payments for the fight at a low heavyweight level. In the last three fights, Chisory has defeated these tender fighters to get an obligatory IBF place:

– Otto Wallin
– Joe Joyce: 39
– Gerald Washington: 43 years aged

On earth, there is no chance that Chisora ​​intends to expose the obligatory IBF place against Joseph Parker after he was beaten by him twice in 2021. It is stupid that Parker is even asked to fight Chisora, because he has no chance of an event. Chisora ​​will sit down and wait passively for his great payment to fall on his knees with the smoke of Usyk-Dubois II to neat, to fight the winner and earn millions. Chisora ​​is already wealthy in the net value estimated at $ 15 million. It is tough to believe how wealthy Chisora ​​is for a journeyman who has never won the title of world champion and whose best win in his career is probably Otto Wallin.

Derek was clamorous about the desire to fight the rematch from Usyk. Five years ago, Usyk defeated Chisora ​​with a narrow -sided decision in December 2020. It was Usyk’s second fight in heavyweight after increasing the circuitous weight in 2019 against Chazz Witherspoon.

Pay Chisora’s pensions

If Chisora ​​can get a rematch from Usyk, he can endure up $ 10 million. This type of cake leaves Dereka’s retirement years, allowing it to live in greatness in Western London Among the super wealthy In areas such as Kensington, Chelsea, Mayfair and Knightsbridge.

“I know that Usyk and Dubois are fighting on July 19, I would like to either fight soon after, or it would be great if I could be on the same card,” said Joseph Parker Ring for the desire to fight at this card at the Wembley stadium.

Why not Moses Ituma?

The question is: why does Parker not seek to fight the subject of Moses Itauma? He fights on the card on July 19 and still has no opponent. Where is Parker’s spine? He should call Itauma to show fans that he is not absent.

“It would be nice to fight someone like Derek Chisora, he is looking for his 50th fight and I’m not sure if he will fight for the title. I know he beat him twice, but I never had a trilogy,” said Parker.

Nobody wants the trilogy

I think I speak for everyone, when I say, nobody wants to see the third fight between Chisora ​​and Parker in this life. Two were more than enough. Fans do not want to see the third fight between these two, because the last one was a complete mismatch, and Parker abandons Chisora ​​three times, and Chisora ​​is approaching repeated knocking.

The only reason that Chisora ​​survived is that Parker looked like he was afraid to end him every time he was in trouble.

Oscar de la Hoya says that William Zepeda told him that the WBC Airy Wweight Shakur Stevenson champion has “The perfect style for me” Defeat him next month on July 12. Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO) is seen as weaker against Shakur (23-0, 11 KO), but he doesn’t worry about it. He thinks Stevenson’s style as ideal for him to dominate. Zepeda says that “he will choose Shakur from the ring.” If Shakur runs all night, Fresh Yorker will throw him out of the stadium and his career will end.

Shakur vs. Zepeda will fight in 12-round cooperation at Dazn PPV at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Fresh York. The office is Edgar Berlanga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz, which is an excellent competition of a super medium weight between two gigantic punchers.

Shakura’s “glass hands” were afraid

De la Hoya feels Shakur’s glass hands He could reveal him against Zepeda, because he will have to sit on his shots with full force to ponderous down the Mexican hit of the volume. Even with two robust hands, Shakur will have huge problems with Zepeda’s pressure. But with his tender hands it may be impossible.

You must give the highest position and the match great recognition for controlling Shakur around all hazardous strokes to avoid it repeatedly beating during his eight -year professional career. For this fight he cannot be protected from Zepeda, because Turks Alalshikh pays him for a lot of money.

Zepeda predicts that Stevenson has got livid

“It will be very hard, but I am still talking to William Zeda, and he still tells me and promises to me:” Oscar, he has a perfect style for me. Trust me, I will throw him out of the ring, “said Oscar de la Hoya promoter to do it Golden Boy promotions When asked how William Zepeda would defeat the WBC Lightweight Shakur Stevenson master on July 12.

Zepeda may not be hard. Shakura will be the most hard for him, because when he can land, he will sit him. Zepeda will make any shots that Stevenson throws to land his arrows in the body and head.

“I think:” Wait, Shakur is not humpback. You know, he has this defense, which is very hard to break, but it’s very hard. ” If William Zepeda is in his game and exerts constant pressure he got used to.

If Zepeda is fighting like in a rematch with Tevin Farmer in March last year in Cancun, Shakur will be hard to survive the sixth round. A farmer, which is much stronger, larger and harder than Stevenson, looked like he was on the edge of the cave in the first half. He turned his back to Zepeda, as if he raised the white flag of surrender. Fortunately for Tevin, the judge did not stop the fight, like many others.

De La Hoya curtain

“People do not hit too much or so until you are with him in the ring, right? That’s when you will be hit and you will feel a blow. On paper it is a great duel. This is an ideal opportunity for the winner to win and become a star,” said De la Hoya.

Oscar here sounds dissatisfaction, talking about Shakur. He did not look good in any of the last two fights, even though he was adapted to the mediocre opposition. Since the catastrophic performance of Stevenson against Edwin de Los Santos in 2023, he fought with these delicate punchers and is still not impressed:

– Josh Padley
– Artem Harutyunyan
