Did he lose track of his training, working out, or eating habits, that is, his diet? Keyshawn Davis is trending, but not for the right reasons. In case you did not really pay attention to it, boxing is more than rivals, knockouts, punches, and titles. There is something more significant that actually moulds a player to be a good boxer, to keep him fit and to endure everything they go through during a heated fight in the square ring. However, Keyshawn Davis seems not to have understood the assignment. He knows, but then, there seem to be factors that have pulled him down.
Keyshawn Davis: Let us talk about health for a minute
Health is a very important component for any human being. Whether you are a sportsman or woman, there are basic health requirements that keep us alive, correct? However, the gears change when you now pursue a sport like boxing. Since I cannot get into full details, there is a weight minimum and maximum class that is expected of a player; once that is under or over, then it totally places the player in a jeopardizing position.
Therefore, with Keyshawn Davis, it seems like he lost some kind of discipline, or maybe it is a season where he is not in the right state of mind. However, from what he said, it looks like he was not in control of this situation, so I will fully unpack it real soon. This has also led to public criticism and disappointment that it is just another problem to fix.
What actually took place with Davis? An event that altered everything
It was a moment that his fans were waiting for. A moment they paid for and put everything aside for, only to be disappointed at a point when they felt like the game was about to begin and be exciting. Keyshawn Davis lost without even fighting after missing a weight. So, for some, it just looked like a sad moment and something that could be fixed; however, Andy Cruz expressed a deep disappointment in Davis.
Andy Cruz and Keyshawn Davis have a father-son relationship. Therefore, when this went public, Cruz was not happy. You know, he is a respected man, so when he speaks, we listen. Just to add on, Davis’ missing weight resulted in him being stripped of his world title before fighting Denys Berinchyk. This is a disappointing moment, just like the one when Jaime Munguia tested positive for exogenous testosterone.
He is not happy at all: Andy Cruz Scolds ‘Son’ Keyshawn Davis
Andy Cruz expressed his frustration because it is something he did not think would transpire, and said,
“As a father, I feel disappointed in my son because those are not the values I showed him. More than anything, it was disrespectful to boxing and to his own fans who were looking forward to seeing him that night. An athlete, regardless of the sport, has to be professional.”
We are human beings; we make mistakes, and at times, we do not know how we got there. For instance, Keyshawn Davis expressed how he felt about the situation and said that “I’ve been making this weight for over four years now. I just outgrew the weight. I tried. I was up late last night. I woke up early this morning, trying to make the weight. I just outgrew the weight, man.” While it is something he did not fall into intentionally, the rules apply to everyone, and now he is expected to work on his weight and find ways to make up for it. It is unfortunate, but just like Ryan Garcia says, “I’m not leaving,” so should Davis.
