For Master Keyshawn Davis it will be for the second time, when he appears first in his hometown of Norfolk, Virginia. Challenger, Edwin de Los Santos, will make his second attempt to win the title of world champion, planning to the invasion of returning to the home defending the master and play the role of spoiler.

Dominican boxer Edwin de Los Santos deals with the public attention in September 2022, when he accepted the fight at the last moment with the growing undefeated lightweight pretender Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela. In the first round of the De Los Santos competition, he decided to skip the feeling process.

De los Santos immediately pressed forward and landed many ponderous power strokes. He continued the attack in the second round, but he was knocked down when Valenzuela caught him with his left hook.

De los Santos stood up, and a few seconds later he shot his own knocking down when he landed in a strenuous shot. De los Santos leveled the result in relation to the knocking, but he lost the point because he hit Valenzuela when he was down.

At the beginning of the third round, De Los Santos, Valenzuela downed for the second time when he landed on a immense left hook. Valenzuela was able to get up, but later in the third, de los Santos forced the judge to stop the competition when a series of penalty shots landed.

After taking part in an exhilarating fire fight in 2022, de los Santos participated in the most imperceptible fight in 2023, when he faced Shakur Stevenson. In the match for the empty title of WBC Lightweight, Stevenson did not risk because he was reluctant to get involved and managed to dance to victory.

Now 25-year-old Southpaw Edwin de Los Santos (16-2, 14 KO) is on the edge of the second shot for the title of world champion. Entering the fight with the WBO champion Keyshawn Davis, President Edwin de Los Santos feels sure and motivated.

From a historical point of view, in June 1968, Carlos Cruz defeated Carlos Ortiz through a divided decision and became the first champion of the world Dominican Republic. If Edwin de Los Santos can defeat Davis on June 7, he will become the second Dominican boxer who won the title of World Champion in Lightweight.

During his speech in the Broadway podcast, Joel de Los Santos admitted that he feels very confident and self -proclaimed results from his observation of the opponent.

“Look, I saw a few films and touched him, tiny blows, and he doesn’t like him. I mean that the reaction I saw is strange as pliable,” said De Los Santos.

Edwin de los Santos, is a qualified boxer who has power in both hands. He believes that if he can land his arrows, Davis will overwhelm.

Challenger de los Santos believes that the only path of Keyshawna Davis to victory is to run like Shakur. During the interview, De Los Santos gave a strict warning in relation to whether Davis would run away and decides to stop when he said: “If he stops, he dies there.”

Two years ago, on May 20, 2023, Devin Haney won the disputed 12-round unanimous decision about Vasily Lomachenko. Many fans were enraged with a much greater victory, who had seen it in favor of Lomachenko. Few fans respected this result.

The judges won it on 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113. Many thought that Haney did not deserve to win, but he received it because of his youth and long career before him. I watched the fight and I had 9-3 for Lomachenko. The judges seemed to be impressed by Haney’s stabs, ignoring the Loma striking combination during the competition.

Haney’s victory

• A advantage of size: Devin looked massive compared to Lomachenko during the fight, looking like two larger divisions. This is not surprising, because Haney looked like a skinny and hungry appearance during weighing. Fans perceived him as a rascal. Apparently, he resumed to 160 pounds and looked like an average weight inside the ring. His decision on the campaign in 135 instead of in the welterweight, where he should probably fight, was widely criticized. Lomachenko should stay at the age of 126, where he was at its best. Haney should have dominated his unfair advantage, but all night he counted his better technically talented Lomachenko. It is fascinating that Haney waited until 2025 to finally move to the welterweight, where he should have been fighting for years.
• Robbery result: The fans did not agree with the results of the fight and felt that the judges from Las Vegas gave a resident of Nevada a decisive decision. The score of 8-4 of Judge Dave Moretti in favor of Haney was enraged with many people.
• Lomachenko’s work ignored: An effective blow that Lomachenko did in a fight seemed to ignore three judges who seemed to tune what he did. Loma Outhout Boxs Haney in every round, but officials did not recognize his work.

Despite the victory, Haney did not receive recognition from fans or the media because of controversy. His victory was contaminated and came out of the fight when someone who was considered preferential treatment. Some fans believe that boxing was looking for a substitute for Floyd Mayweather Jr., so Devin would be protected to create a false star.

Punch stats tell a story

– Devin Haney: connected 110 of 405 shots for 27% connection speed
– Vasiliy Lomachenko: combined 124 out of 564 stamps for 22%

Floyd Schofield Sr. He started to social media to explain why his son did not accept the agreement with Abdullah Mason. Papa Schofield claims that they received a 5-year contract worth $ 5 million from Golden Boy. He states that the choice consisted of agreeing $ 1 million for Mason’s fight, or take a 5-year contract from Golden Boy. They went with the latter.

$ 5 million Golden Boy Deal

“I thought I would ask about the fight for children-maason. Number 1, we want to fight [Abdullah] Mason anyway, we will fight Mason, according to Golden Boy and them “, Floyd Schofield Senior Warrior. “But Golden Boy has other plans. Mason offered us a million dollars. Their team offered us a million dollars to fight, but Golden Boy offered us a five -year offer for $ 5 million.”

I wonder if the manager Schofield recommended not to take this contract? He could probably get a much larger offer if he fought Mason and defeated him.

“Guaranteed five years of employment. We guarantee that we will soon fight for the title. What would you choose? Greg Hackett said:” You lifted $ 2.5 [million]. ‘No, because I had $ 5 million on the table, and the team that offers it says: “No.” So I had a choice. Are we going on this side for $ 1 million or are we going on this side for $ 5 million? “

This suggests that Schofield Sr. He did not trust his son’s ability to defeat Abdullah Mason. Signing a long -term contract with a golden boy for this amount is a red flag that was not faith. If you think he can win, you let him take this fight, because defeating Mason would send Schofield’s supplies through the roof.

“ThE $ 5 million is just a minimum. That’s not even all. So you can believe what you want, “said Schofield Sr. with a 5-year Golden Boy agreement on Floyd SR.” I don’t like to put business there, but I thought I cleaned the rumors. Nobody is afraid of Mason. We are eagerly waiting for the fight against the Mason. We shared the rings with him. “

Breaking the contract

Let’s break this offer. If you think Schofield will fight three times a year, he only earns 333 thousand. USD for fighting. This is not a good opportunity. Floyd Sr. It would be better to take part in a transaction worth $ 1 million for the fight of Abdullah Mason, because his value would augment if he won. Of course, if Papa Schofield did not believe that his son could overcome Mason, he made sense why he rejected the offer.

“Our next opponent is good in June. This is a test. I can’t say who it is, but this is a good fight here. Freshly from the bench. This is our first fight since November. If this is not a step forward, I don’t know what to say.

Fans don’t expect much from Golden Boy to Schofield. After Floyd Jr. He performed in his last fight with Rene Tellez Giron in November last year, Golden Boy does not intend to put Schofield with anyone with a pulse. The icing on the cake was his withdrawal in the last second with a mysterious disease of fighting with the lightweight champion WBC Shakur Stevenson in February last year.

“Haters are still hate. I love it. And we have Schofield. Oh, it’s amazing. It’s so humorous,” said Floyd Ser.
