Keyshawn Davis calls out Shakur Stevenson for a fight on the eve basically of his own fight and something happens to him.
Well, it did.
He missed weight a short time ago again and there is mayhem ahead of the Albright rematch.
Brian Norman Jr in the co-main event even missed weight.
Some things on Keyshawn Davis however:
- Keyshawn Davis called out Shakur Stevenson right before his May 16 fight.
- The callout came during press events around weigh-ins for a bout he nearly missed weight for.
- Davis has a history of saying he would never fight his close friend Shakur.
- Both fighters have publicly called each other brothers and ruled out the matchup multiple times.
- Timing is odd as Davis should focus 100% on Nahir Albright in his hometown.
- He already faced scrutiny for missing weight (140.1 lbs on re-weigh) days before the fight.
- Experts like Tim Bradley recently called Davis “second fiddle” to Shakur.
- Calling out a top champion distracts from proving himself against Albright first.
- It adds to views of Davis as erratic after his past weight miss and title stripping.
- Fans see it as unfocused behavior with his mind not fully on the job at hand.
Keyshawn Davis has shown he can’t be trusted to make weight again.
This is very poor from him.
Calling out Shakur Stevenson was jumping the gun and he needs to focus on the job at hand first.
Again, this is not the norm at the moment this kind of thing with boxing flying at the moment.
Let’s see how the fight card goes this weekend in boxing in Virginia.
