Keyshawn Davis informed his opponent Gustavo Lemos that there’s going to be blood all over the place and that his nostril goes to be “sideways” by the tip of their 10-round light-weight combat this Friday, November eighth, on the Scope Enviornment in Norfolk, Virginia.
Lemos (29-1, 19 KOs) is the very best fighter Keyshawn (11-0, 7 KOs) has confronted since his loss to Cuba’s Andy Cruz within the 2020 Olympics, and issues may finish badly for the American if he doesn’t elevate his recreation from what he’s proven in his latest fights.
The Argentinian Lemos can punch, and he needs to make sure he doesn’t lose a controversial resolution like in his final combat in opposition to Richardson Hitchins on April sixth. Keyshawn hand-picked Lemos, telling his Prime Rank promoters that this was the man he needed somewhat than a lesser fighter.
We’ll see if Keyshawn made the appropriate alternative as a result of Prime Rank’s matchmakers didn’t need to need him to face this man. They have been providing him 38-year-old Nicholas Walters.
Dropping to Lemos in entrance of his hometown followers in Norfolk shall be a bitter capsule for Keyshawn to swallow if he will get crushed, however it will be a lesson for him. Subsequent time, he must go together with the desires of the Prime Rank matchmakers, who’re the very best within the enterprise.
Keyshawn Davis: “It’s not going to be a stupendous combat. It’s going to be blood all over the place. His nostril could be a bit lopsided, however I respect Gustavo. You’re an incredible fighter. I respect you taking the combat in my hometown, however I’m going to [mess] you up,” stated Davis throughout at present’s remaining press convention.
“He’s up for the problem. I believe he’s the right man for this second. I’m a dramatic fighter. I like doing the surprising. Count on that Friday night time.
Gustavo Lemos: “I don’t actually see a distinction. I’ve a robust opponent in entrance of me, and that’s what I’m going to do. I’ve at all times stated he’s opponent, and I count on combat.”
Keyshawn: “It feels like he is aware of what he’s up in opposition to. Gustavo, be prepared for Friday since you already know. Inform him to look my approach when he’s speaking.”
Gustavo: “I respect all my opponents, good and unhealthy. I need to want him luck on Friday. Watch out.”
“Keyshawn: “I really feel like I’m prepared for any opponent at 135, whether or not it’s #1 or #8 or no matter. After this combat, after I get a spectacular win, I’m going for a world title. Lemos is simply one other opponent in entrance of me that I’m I’ve received to knock down. We’re going to be world champ by subsequent 12 months.”
Gustavo: “I got here to work onerous. I’ve nothing else to say, but it surely’s going to be a stupendous combat.”
