Keyshawn Davis vs Devin Haney is a fight being talked about as possible now and if it happens their styles will clash.
Haney is now a world champion up at welterweight.
He has the more experience in high level big fights in professional boxing and might have a strength and maybe a slight boxing ability advantage.
Here’s how they might match up in the ring:
- Haney = technician. He controls distance with the jab and footwork.
- Davis = pressure puncher. He uses mid-range aggression and explosiveness.
- Both have elite speed. Footwork and boxing IQ are strengths for each.
- Jab vs jab. Haney’s jab sets the pace. Davis must slip it to get inside.
- Power goes to Davis. Bradley says Davis hits harder.
- Haney has more experience. He’s the mature, proven world champion.
- Davis has more tools. Bradley calls him “way more skilled” overall.
- Defense styles differ. Haney leans back and clinches. Davis uses a high guard.
- Range is key. Haney wins at long range. Davis wants mid-range exchanges.
- Clash = precision vs explosiveness. Technical control vs aggressive bursts.
That’s a ball park range of maybe what to expect in terms of how they match up technically.
Form and momentum might be with Devin Haney a bit with his win over Brian Haney Jr not long ago to win the title.
Keyshawn Davis was relatively impressive in his UD points win the Albright rematch at the weekend.
A fight both Davis and Haney both appear to want at the moment.
So let’s see what fights both are in shortly.
