Keyshawn Davis went on a bitter rant on social media, reacting to the praise light welterweight prospect Emiliano Vargas was receiving for his impressive performance, knocking out Larry Fryers (13-7-1, 5 KOs) in the fifth round on Friday evening in one night.

Keyshawn was so angry that he was literally shaking with anger when talking about Emiliano. What I want to know is why Keyshawn doesn’t have the same energy for Andy Cruz as he does for Emiliano. He lost to Cuban Cruz four times in the amateurs and looked mad and mad after losing to him in the 2020 Olympics final.
The ESPN commentators were glazing Emiliano Vargas (12-0, 10 KOs) non-stop, talking about how good he was with his win over Fryers. Emiliano’s compliments from ESPN were far beyond anything Keyshawn had received in any of his fights.
They had good reason: Emiliano looked like future star material, showing power, speed and precision with his win tonight. His entertainment value, coupled with his Hollywood looks, makes him a must-see superstar for Top Rank.
ESPN talking heads Bernard Osuna, Tim Bradley and Mark Kriegel know talent when they see it. If Keyshawn had the talent that Emiliano showed, ESPN would have also glazed him, but he didn’t.
He’s more of a WWE wrestler than a boxer. Top Rank has to think of an exit strategy with Keyshawn because he is going nowhere, and they made the mistake of signing him.
“I beat all of his (backsides) in the same night, including dad,” Keyshawn Davis said. social mediareacts to Emiliano Vargas’ impressive victory over Larry Fryers on Saturday night.
“Tell them to line up. I’m going from the father (Fernando Vargas) to the younger brother (Emiliano) in the same night. The Vargas brothers against the Davis brothers. I don’t care which brother fought, and the father you have too.
“Tell Top Rank to put it to work. I’m not even playing. I had my eyes on you, and I heard you talking (stuff) when you had your media training. I was about to pull all of you. You lucky you all left before i shot you i have no idea.
“You’re lucky. You all don’t even know. They’re talking (stuff). I’ve got ears, though. (A friend) called and said, ‘Keyshawn, the Vargas brothers are talking (stuff) about you.’ Tell them to install that, but tell them that they could be under my principal also.
“They talk like they’re so popular. They’re all another culture. You think my culture knows you, bro? What the hell are you talking about? Speaking of I’m not an Olympian. You think my culture knows you, bro? You don’t you know no one in my culture. You’re crazy. There’s no comparison between the Davis brothers and the Vargas brothers.”
