Tim Bradley asked, “Where” is Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis after Keyshawn Davis’ second round KO victory over Gustavo Lemos (29-2, 19 KOs) on Friday night in Norfolk, Virginia.
ESPN+ commentator Bradley praised Keyshawn (12-0, 8 KOs) throughout his short two-round victory over the 155 lb. Lemos in their headliner in front of more than 10,000 fans at Scope Arena.
If you look at how poor Lemos was tonight and in his previous contest, you can’t say that Keyshawn did anything special tonight and he certainly didn’t earn the right to face the king of the lightweight division, Tank Davis.
Did Keyshawn win the tank fight?
This was a well-chosen opponent for Keyshawn, who instead of fighting Andy Cruz o Raymond Muratallaselected Lemos from the 140-lb division. He should have known from Lemos’ recent 12-round unanimous decision loss to Richardson Hitchins on April 6 that he was an easy mark because he looked abnormally slow in the hand speed department, and his skills were below par. world level.
“Where are you, Tank? These were my thoughts,” said Tim Bradley to Fighthype about Keyshawn Davis earned a fight against Gervonta Davis after his victory over Gustavo Lemos on Friday night.
Keyshawn hasn’t beaten an opponent good enough for him to earn a fight against Tank, as Lemos’ resume is barren of wins over quality opponents. He fought a decent man, Hitchins, and lost to him.

“I mean, the call, even, after the performance. That’s what I’ve been waiting for Keyshawn. He’s been a little hot and cold. He finally got it together. He got his mental right. He got his team well, and his expertise was spot on.
Did Lemos have an unfair advantage?
“He did it under these circumstances, this pressure, and this crowd. Man, that guy is a star, bro. Seriously. All that weight on his back. He put it on. It was about his brothers, too. sisters sang the national anthem. It was a family affair.
“My hat goes to him. Extra credit tonight. I know you want to hear the mixed views of what he did right. ‘Lemos wasn’t that. Lemos wasn’t that. Lemos had an unfair advantagepeople They had an uneven playing field, but again, skills prevailed tonight,” Bradley said.

Davis went 47 of 147 for a 37% connection rate; Lemos landed 16 of 84 for a 19% connect rate.
What was unfair was that Keyshawn chose a light welterweight who had not fought at 135 in five years from 2019. Why is Bradley surprised that Lemos, a guy who lives at 140, rehydrated at 155, only 15 lbs, and that came. overweight for the 135lb bout against Keyshawn? Why was Lemos chosen?
Keyshawn obviously chose Lemos because he was slow, easy to hit, drained of weight, and had little chance of beating him.
