KEYSHAWN Davis continues his ascent in the direction of world titles with a 10-round task towards Miguel Madueño in Newark tonight. Sharing a card with Shakur Stevenson is all a part of the large struggle enchantment for a younger man closing in on the heavy hitters of 135 and surrounding areas.
“It’s all the time particular sharing a card with my brother Shakur. We’ve been doing this since we had been youngsters. We’ve been speaking about this since we had been amateurs. Brick Metropolis loves me. It’s my third time coming right here, so I count on the followers to embrace me once more as I make that ring entrance,” stated Davis.
Rigidity has been rising between Keyshawn and Teofimo Lopez currently. Lopez (see above, defeating Claggett) efficiently defended his WBO super-lightweight title with a factors win over Steve Claggett in Florida and badly wants an opponent who can encourage him.
In an ongoing beef that has escalated from whispered discussions on media levels to full-on yelling periods at ringside, the High Rank pair appear a pure preventing match for the long run.
“I simply have to do the identical factor I’ve been doing. I simply have to go on the market, have enjoyable and carry out,” defined Keyshawn, who is just centered on tonight’s opponent proper now.
“He [Madueño] has a method that I’ve seen so many occasions, particularly within the amateurs. While you journey abroad, you struggle a number of guys like that. Now that we’re going 10 rounds, I can take my time and dissect this child. I’m going to go in there and have enjoyable and do what I do.”
All of those next-fight projections will disappear if Davis doesn’t first take care of 25-year-old Sinaloa native Miguel Madueño, who has 28 KOs from 31 wins (towards two defeats) and enters with the suitable nickname ‘Explosivo’.
“This can be a good alternative,” stated Madueño. “It’s a chance to point out what we’re product of. We’ve had some setbacks. However we’re able to get again on monitor. And what higher than dealing with a reputation like Keyshawn.”
Madueño misplaced to Steve Claggett two fights in the past, which in all probability reveals his degree.
“I’m going to stroll away with my hand raised. We’ll be on the lookout for the knockout. He [Davis] is a superb fighter. We’ve been watching and analyzing him. He’s spectacular. However on July 6, we’ll stroll away victorious,” countered the underdog.
