Preliminary reports suggest that the fight was established in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Haney (32-0, 15 KO) was originally to face Ryan Garcia this year in a rematch after Haney defeated Jose Ramirez in the Times Square on May 2. But between the fact that Garcia lost to Rolando Romero in the main main event, and then undergo hand surgery, this fight was out of the table. Lopez, who fought and won on the same card as Garcia and Haney, initially called for the fight against the unified Jaron “Boots” ennis champion, despite the fact that he is a weight class below.

Haney rejected that Lopez (22-1) signed a contract and listed the shrunken weight as a problem.

Haney Posted to X: “Fighting with Teo is not signed! I signed my role, and Teo stops. At present he decided that he did not want to fight me, he is officially the greatest [duck emoji] … I wanted to fight for 147 [pounds] He wanted to fight at the age of 140 to meet in 145 [Jaron] Shoes [Ennis] at 147. “

Lopez was recently contrary to Turk Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia at General Entertainment Authority and the owner of the Ring magazine, who would be the promoter of the fight. Lopez apologized for the recent Tweet wave after directing several discredit remarks in Alalshikh.

Published

on

The highest rank announced on Friday that the Keyshawna Davis’ fight of Edwin de Los Santos is turned off after Davis did not get into weight earlier on the same day.

The fight was scheduled for Saturday evening at the Scope Arena in the hometown of Davis, Norfolk, Virginia.

Davis was supposed to defend the delicate WBO title against de los Santos in the main event. However, Davis weighed 139.3 pounds, 4.3 pounds above the 135 pounds weight limit. Due to the weight mission, Davis was deprived of the title, and De Los Santos would be the only warrior to win the championship.

According to the promoter de Los Santos, Sampson Lewkowicz, de los Santos questioned Miss weight, and both sides entered into long negotiations to maintain the intact main event. The fight was canceled after the parties could not reach an agreement.

“We renegotiated 10 pounds plus money, but we came to the conclusion that Davis never tried to earn a scale,” said Lewkowcz Salvador Rodriguez ESPN. “He came to dance on a scale. I didn’t want what happened [Devin] Haney and [Ryan] Garcia will happen. We canceled the fight. “

Lewkowcz referred to Garcia the missing weight before his title of April 2024 with Haney, who won Garcia by a decision before the result was repealed to the lack of failure, when Garcia obtained a positive result for a drug improving performance.

“The most crucial thing is Edwin,” said Lewkowcz. “I hope he will give an example.”

The delicate fight of Abdullah Mason with Jeremia Nakathila was raised to the main event on the Saturday card. Kelvin Davis, Keyshawn’s older brother, was transferred to a co-manan party against Nahir Albright in a delicate Junior fight.

Image: Crawford Brushes Off Keyshawn's Weight Miss, But Fans Suspect a Calculated Move

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.

Official ESPN weights

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.

Before the defeat of the scale, Davis was looking for an impressive victory in his home.

“I chose him because I know that he will come to create a great fight for fans who leave. And it will be a great fight, but he will not hear and fresh.

“He comes to fight and implements the performance because his last was rubbish.”

Perhaps by anticipating his title loss 24 hours earlier, Davis added: “I know who I am with or without. I am a businessman. I introduce great fights. I introduce great performances.”

De los Santos used his platform to explain his long absence in the ring.

“I had a health problem. I had a blood clot in my leg. Unfortunately, I had to be out of the ring because of this.

“This time the result will be different because I overcame death. And after defeating my death I know that there is nothing more.”
