Keyshawn Davis said in an interview this week that Andy’s team said “NO” to fight between them. Davis (13-0, 9 KO) claims that the Olympic gold medalist in 2020, Cruz (5-0, 2 KO), is not “ready” to fight him. If there was a fight, he would knock out Cruza, even though he lost to amateurs four times.

Andre Ward asked Keyshawn in an interview with the highest rank if he wanted to fight Andy Cruz, and he looked nervous and changing eyes, as if he were under sizzling lights during the interrogation session. The way Ward pressed on Keyshawn, it can be said that he has some doubts. Why would Cruz want to avoid fighting a guy he easily beat amateurs four times?

Keyshawn defends the title WBO

Instead of fighting Cruz, Keyshawn defends his 135-pound title against Edwin de Los Santos (16-2, 14 KO) on Saturday, June 7, at the Scope arena, Norfolk, Virginia. The event will be shown live on ESPN and ESPN+. The event starts at 22:00 et / 19:00 The approximate start time of the main event Davis-de Los Santos is at 23:00 et / 20:00

“People are calling me now. I attract attention because I have a belt now. So now they feel like fights are lucrative,” said Keyshawn Davis to make Boxing boxing About him, who was called now when he has a airy WBO title. “So now they are starting to mention me.

“I’m not offended. My name is” a businessman, “said Keyshawn when he was asked if he was offended. “I take everything in this sport as a business. [Andy Cruz]. Yes, remember me. Every time you fight Dazn, my name is still raised. Remember me. “

“Are you going to fight him in professionals?” Andre Ward said to Keyshawn about the fight with Andy Cruz

“To hell,” said Davis about Cruz.

“How do you think the fight between you and him will go?” Andre said.

“Below six,” said Davis.

“Will you stop him?” Ward said.

Andy Cruz is not ready?

“To hell, yes,” Keyshawn said, continuing to Cruz. “They are not ready yet. They will see it and enter social media.” Oh, he never sent me any contract. He never talked to me. ” Yes, you are right.

“He is on social media and he [Andy Cruz] It seems that he was ready to fight now – said Ward.

“But you have to sound like this,” said Keyshawn.

“You don’t believe it. Cruz is not ready for you,” said Ward.

“No, it’s not,” said Davis.

“Really?” Ward said.

“But we can fight. But they [Team Cruz] He said not now. They said it, “Keyshawn said.

“I want to see it,” Ward said.

Fans believe that Davis avoids Cruz because his career focuses on making money. Cruz would do threaten his bustle With careful relationship and maneuvering, which were made to transform Keyshawn into a airy world champion of WBO. Davis now has a good thing when he matches the highest rank, keeping him well before talents such as Andy Cruz, Raymond Muratalla and Abdullah Mason.

Keyshawn avoiding the fight cruz

Cuban Andy Cruz studied Keyhawn in the Olympic finals in 2020, walking and dominating him in a one -sided fight. Since Turning Pro in 2023, Cruz called Keyshawn many times, but he was rejected each time. Promoter Cruza, Eddie Hearn, is amused by Davis’s reluctance to fight him. He is seemingly proud that Keyshawn avoids Cruz, which is a sign that he knows that he is too good for him.

Paulie Malignaggi says that Caleb Plant must “assess” whether he is hungry to continue his career after losing to Armando Resndiz last Saturday evening in Las Vegas.

The hunger for the plant questioned

The short-lived master of super medium WBA (23-3, 14 KO) lost the 12-round divided decision for RESENDIZ (26-2, 11 KO). The loss of Caleb potentially derailed his plans to fight Jermall Charlo next on PPV.

Malingaggi says he doesn’t know if the plant has hunger to continue the fight because he has already earned good money and has a family. He asks if Caleb is willing to put an effort against hungry warriors, such as Resendiz.

He looked at me hungry, but he had a face in a face with a guy with a chin, power and internal game. Plant could not stop the Restndiz outside and was beaten inside.

“I don’t know what the Caleb plant is doing. He didn’t look hungry for me, but of course he still had all his departments. If he is no longer hungry, he must judge it himself. He didn’t look hungry today,” said Paulie Malignaggi on his own canal About Caleb Plant after losing to Armando Rediz last Saturday.

The “Honey” plant looked the same as usual, but it was hit by many demanding shots of the younger warrior who applied it on it. Immense shots that landed plants that gave older, smaller fighters, such as Anthony Dirrell and Trevor McCumbby, did not affect Resendiz.

Plant: “Fight not to lose”

“Fighting not to lose. His intention was to overcome the Restndiz and fight with Jermall Charlo. You want to hit them enough to stop them from you,” said Malignaggi about what went wrong for Plant. “Rezendiz did not cooperate. So now you have to fight these guys.”

The plant fought as always; His talent was not enough to overcome this warrior level. If you come back and see the previous Plant’s fights with Jose Uzcatelui, Mike Lee, Caleb Trax and Vincent Feigenbutz, he looked the same against them as in the fight against Resendiz.

The difference was that RESENDIZ was better than these fighters in terms of his pressure, game and impact resistance. If Plant had fought earlier in his career, he would lose to him as last Saturday evening. In other words, the plant was never as good as boxing fans thought.

“As the fight was fought, the plant had no fight in it, because now you have to do what you did in [Trevor] McCumbby is fighting again and you have to fight in you. There are only as many times in which you call it in your career, especially when you are behind schedule and you earned good money. It is much harder to lead this dog out of you, especially consistently at this age with all other variables that I have just mentioned.

The fight Charlo-resndiz was discussed

“Resendiz has two great victories. Caleb Plant was not as shot as Jarrett Hurd. Now you do not suddenly do not have Charlo-Cuteb’s plant, but do you have Charlo and Resendiz?” Paulie said.

As long as Jermalla’s promoters are fine when his next fight is regular PBC in Prime Video, RESSENDIZ would be a good idea. However, Charlo’s management will probably want him to be on PPV for the next fight. Now that the plant lost, it would be stupid to continue the original plan to fight the plant.

Charlo has been out of the game for too many years to sell in Pay-Per-View. Even if Plant won last Saturday, the fight between him and Charlo would not make enormous numbers in Pay-Per-View. There is not enough older fans who would like to pay $ 75 to watch these two.

“Do we make charlo-resandiz because we still don’t know how much Charlo is left,” Paulie said. “The revival is ongoing. I think RESENDIZ is a good logical step. This is not a great fight and it would not be sold to you like a great fight, such as Charlo and Plant. But I did not think that Charlo and Plant will be a great fight anyway.”

PBC would have to believe that Charlo would win to give him a green lightweight to face Reiniz. Based on his performance against Lamanna, I wouldn’t do it if I were with PBC.

Charlo struck through Lamanna too often so that he could put him in a guy like RESENDIZ. The shots with which the Restendiz hit the plant inside would give Jermall many problems. There has been no game for too many years and is too elderly to be hit by 26-year-old RESENDIZ.

“But this fight makes sense in steps to restore Jermalla Charlo. If he defeated RESENDIZ, now it is a good win, because Resendiz won with the factory and won [Jarrett] Hurd. He has a pretty decent CV for Charlo to win such a guy – said Paulie.

It would be a good win for Jermall, if he defeated the Restndiz, and it potentially led to the fight with Edgar Berlang, Diego Pacheco or Christian Mbilli. It is doubtful that Canelo willingly fight Charlo. He would fight Charlo only when Turki Alalshikh offered him a few money. He doesn’t take risks unless he pays huge money. Turki would have to initiate this.

PBC Charlo Returns

“But if Restendiz defeats Charlo, he adds his name to his CV. Anyway, the winner can be nicely set in the 168 pounds division,” said Malignaggi.

It does not seem realistic that Charlo’s guides will allow him to get tangled with the re -performance after the performances on the last Saturday. Jermall does not shine enough to Thomas Lamanna to risk puting him in Resendiz, and told him to land on arrows with which he hit the plant.

We saw what the very average Juan Macias Montiel for Jermall four years ago in 2021. It was against a much better version of Charlo than the one we saw last Saturday night against Lamanna. Charlo looked like there was only 50% of what he was against Montiel, but fortunately for him he faced the journeyman, not someone like RESENDIZ.

Brian Norman Jr. He says that he still wants a unification fight with the United Wall weight champion, Jaron “Boots” Ennis after he defends his WBO belt before Jin Sasaki on June 19. Norman Jr. (27-0, 21 KO) says that he does not care about the “jacket process” about the start with Ennis. This “money” prevented them from living last year.

Norman Jr. It will be on the way on June 19, defending Sasaki (19-1-1, 17 KO) in OTA-CITY General Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan. Some fans perceive this fight as an example of Norman Jr. Bots Ennis shoes. From his perspective, he did not agree to the unification of the fight to change Chump.

Money vs. marinade

“I don’t care Marynation process. We can make this fight next. I don’t mind at all – said Brian Norman Jr. Fight Hub tv about his interest in the fight with Jaron Ennis. “It was definitely funds. It was definitely money.”

What Norman Jr. It depends on the money. If its starting price is not met, he must forget about shoes and focus on independent defense. While some fans believe that Norman Jr. And his father try to stop Ennis, knowing that he would soon go to 154, they explained that they would not have focusing. They want to fight, but they will not accept less than what they deserve.

“This is an opportunity to show that a road warrior is to do it again,” said Norman Jr. That he travels to Japan to defend against Jin Sasaki, Tokyo, Japan on June 19. “So we left, we considered our options to see if we have something else on the table and we didn’t do it. We have a very willing opponent [Sasaki] Before us. Let’s see what he is talking about. “

Being a road warrior against a warrior like Sasaki is not the same as being against someone like Boots Ennis. It is straightforward to fight in someone’s hometown if you fight guys like Sasaki.

Details of the Sasaki story

“All disrespect did not come to me, just like between foreign and here. You know what boxing culture is here,” said Norman Jr. About how Sasaki called him after the victory over Derriek Cuevas on March 29 in Las Vegas.

Sasaki would shoot at the foot if he approached Norman Jr. to obtain your call. He would be forced to fight in the WBO title eliminator if Brian Jr. He said “no”, and the chances that Sasaki would lose anyone fighting. He is a decent claimant, but he went back against warriors such as Karen Chukhadzhian, Ekow Essuman and Rohan Polanco.

“There is a whole bunch of disrespect. I love boxing. I like to fight. I don’t have to be enraged with you. None of it is emotional. I just like to beat people. I don’t know why. It’s just fun.

“So he [Sasaki] He really came to me like respect. “Okay, I’ll go to your city. I will come to your country with respect and we can copy there,” said Norman Jr. o Jin Sasaki.

Ennis Fight Finance

If it is true that the money offered to Norman Jr. For the fight, Sasaki is more than $ 1.7 million offered by promoter Eddie Hearna to fight Jaron Ennis in unification, she understood why he decided to take this fight.

Hearn should have been sweetening an offer by $ 500,000, i.e. the amount for which Norman Sr. asked, because it is unlikely that Team Norman would agree to $ 1.7 million in the future. If they want more, and Hearn kicks that he disagrees to $ 2.2 million they asked for.
