BOMAC’s claim: Keyshawn & Shakur stands on top of Gervonta Davis at 135

Trainer Brian “Bomac” McIntyre says Keyshaun Davis and Shakur Stephenson are the two best lightweight fighters, both of which range from 50 to 50 at the same level. He says everyone thinks Jevonta Davis is the best in the 135 pound division, not Shakur and Keyshaun.

Bomac says Keyshawn (13-0, 9 KOS) will easily defeat Tank Davis and possibly knock him out, as he has more “tools in the toolbox” than he does. He sees the tank as restricted.

Fans can’t agree

Keyshaun became a pro in 2021, but has yet to prove himself. Shakur has raised three divisions and has only been lightweight since 2023. He’s not fighting any talent either.

Last Friday night, Keyshawn won the WBO lightweight title and knocked out 36-year-old champion Denys Berinchyk in the fourth round at New York’s Madison Square Garden Theatre. However, fans didn’t give Keyshawn much credit as they realized how big he was in the ring, how old he was, how small and weak Belinchik looked.

The main problem fans have with Keyshaun is that they’ll be able to get him Weight bullying He’s fighting several divisions under his size. He also chose the weakest link. In other words, Keyshawn is betting the system to find success he couldn’t achieve if he was competing in the weight class he belongs to. 154 or 160.

You can’t knock Keyshaun for his fuss. If he can fight a little guy lightly and make huge fabric, he should do it as long as possible. It rises towards middleweight and beats only regular competition for his entire career.

Keyshaun looks bigger than IBF welterweight champion Jaron Ennis and WBC interim junior middleweight champion Virgil Ortiz Jr. The real problem is why Keyshaun chooses to fight for the 135. When you think about it, it’s pretty obvious.

“The truth is, it seems like it’s a guy of 135, that’s who Gervonta wants to fight,” said Brian ‘Bomac’ McIntyre. YSM Sports Media When asked if it was strange whether Keyshawn Davis had a fight with Gervonta Davis before Shakur Stephenson.

“Of course, it’s 50-50, Keyshaun and Shakur,” Bomac said when asked who is the “man” in Lightweight. “But everyone has that label on Gervonta as the best 135 pounder. Everyone has to fight him, just as he is the boogeyman in the division.

“Shakur has raised three weight divisions. Keyshaun has just got here (2021). So the world is going to say, “He has to prove himself.” I personally know these cats, 50-50. They have a dog right there. Gelbonta isn’t saying that he doesn’t have a dog inside him, but rather because of the simple fact that he knows what they can do, he says that they’ll be able to do. I’m not saying I have it. ”

It’s not enough for Bomac to be the person who says Keyshawn is tied to #1 in the lightweight division with Shakur. Fans need to say that, but it’s not. He has not proven to show that he is the best man at 135.

The Berinchyk looked very old and small. The difference in size between him and Keyshawn was last Friday. It looked like the middleweight was in the ring. If Keyshaun insists on fighting outside the natural weight class of the middleweight class, he must fight talented enemies such as Andy Cruz, Ernesto Mercado, Edin de los Santos, and Raymond Muratara. there is.

“Toolbox” discussion

“He (Tank Davis) has one style he never changes, and Keyshawn has all the toolbox behind him and Shakur,” Bomac said, adding that Keyshawn ” When asked why you think “it’s easy to beat,” Bomac said. “So, whatever Jevonta comes to the table, those two guys can go back to the toolbox. If that tool doesn’t work, go with another tool.

“If that tool doesn’t work, try using another tool. Keyshawn would stop him (Gerbonta) in the later rounds because of the style of Gerbonta fighting he’s doing. I think so. I can only carry it around here so far.

“I think Lomachenko will be a great fight for Keyshaun. It’s a bit difficult because Lomachenko has a great toolbox. But I think Keyshaun will reach him faster than Lomachenko,” Bomack said. .
