Keyshawn Davis told his opponent Gustavo Lemos that there will be blood everywhere and his nose will be “on the side” at the end of their 10-round lightweight fight this Friday, November 8, at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia.
Lemos (29-1, 19 KOs) is the best fighter Keyshawn (11-0, 7 KOs) has faced since his loss to Cuba. Andy Cruz in the 2020 Olympics, and things could end badly for the American if he doesn’t raise his game from what he has shown in his recent fights.
The Argentinian Lemos can punch, and he wants to make sure he doesn’t lose a controversial decision like in his last fight against Richardson Hitchins on April 6th. Keyshawn hand-picked Lemos, telling his Top Rank promoters that this was the guy he wanted rather than a lesser fighter.
We’ll see if Keyshawn made the right choice because the Top Rank matchmakers didn’t want him to face this guy. They offered him 38-year-old Nicholas Walters.
Losing to Lemos in front of his hometown fans in Norfolk will be a bitter pill for Keyshawn to swallow if he is beaten, but it would be a lesson for him. Next time, he needs to go with the wishes of the Top Rank matchmakers, who are the best in the business.
Keyshawn Davis: “It’s not going to be a good fight. There’s going to be blood everywhere. His nose may be a little bit off, but I respect Gustavo. You’re an amazing fighter. I appreciate you taking the fight to my hometown, but it’s going to wear you down,” Davis said during today. final press conference.
“She’s ready for the challenge. I think he’s the perfect guy for this moment. I’m a dramatic fighter. I like to do the unexpected. Look forward to that Friday night.
Gustavo Lemos: “I don’t really see a difference. I have a strong opponent in front of me, and that’s what I have to do. I always said that he is a good opponent, and I expect a good fight.”
Keyshawn: “Looks like he knows what he’s up against. Gustavo, be ready for Friday because you already know. Tell him to watch my way when he talks.
Gustavo: “I respect all my opponents, good and bad. I want to wish you luck on Friday. Take care.”
“Keyshawn: “I feel ready for any opponent at 135, whether it’s #1 or #8 or whatever. After this fight, when I have a spectacular victory, I will go for a world title. Lemos is just another opponent in front of me that I have to beat. We will be world champions next year.”
Gustavo: “I came to work hard. I have nothing to say, but it will be a good fight.”
