Edwin de Los Santos says he believes that Keyshawn Davis has already decided that he wanted to get out of their fight through the last press conference last Thursday when he pushed him away. He says he thinks Keyshawn (13-0, 9 KO) hoped that he would take revenge with a blow, which would cancel the fight.
De los Santos believes that Davis lost their courage at the last minute and was looking for ways to get out of it. The first method was to initiate a quarrel during weighing. When it failed, Keyshawn came overweight.
Miss weight: Davis plan?
The fight was finally canceled after Davis, 27 years ancient, did not hit the weight, reaching 4.3 pounds above a airy limit of 139.3 pounds at the weight. He did not want to try to lose weight when he received, saying that a slight division had “grew”.
“I think Keyshawn did not want to fight. If you come back and look at a press conference, I think that the reason he pushed me was to provoke me to slap him, so that he could get out of the fight, having an appeal,” said Edwin de los Santos Millcity boxing About his belief that Keyshawn Davis hoped to get out of the fight before weighing.
It is unlikely that the fight would be canceled if De Los Santos hit Keyshawn. It is possible, however, that Davis would throw something that could lead to dismissal if de los Santos were cut off by a blow.
De los Santos presented a large step in the Keyshawn class of fighters he had recently met. Since Davis’ fight with Nahir Albright in 2023, which some fans feel that they lost, fought with gentle opposition. In the fights, Keyshawna from the Albright competition defeated these fighters:
-Densys Berinchyk: Undeloar 135-Funt -Gustavo lemos: pulled out of the 140 pounds ward – Miguel Madueno: Fringe Contender -Jose Pedraza: His best, 36-year-old former 130-Funts champion passed
Keyshawn looked fresh for weighing
“He looked good and could do it [made weight]But he did what he had to do to get an advantage. If you look at his figure, it looks like he was training, but he didn’t work to cut the eight, “said De Los Santos.
Keyshawn did not look like he had undergone the drainage process to remove the additional weight. He looked like fresh, equipped and did not have a skinny appearance when they went through torture to earn weight.
“I believe that he did not want to agree on the irrigation clause and the dollar for the pound [penalty] that he [Keyshawn] I did not want to agree that the fight continued to happen, “said De los Santos.
