By Dan Ambrose: Keyshawn Davis says Ryan Garcia is “dangerous” and has “nothing to lose” for his fight against Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis on Saturday night.
Although Keyshawn favors Tank Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) by a slight margin, he believes Ryan (23-0, 19 KOs) can definitely win because he’s powerful, very confident, in excellent shape, and his “back is against the wall.”
Keyshawn notes a lot of boxing fans aren’t giving Ryan a chance of winning this fight, so that puts him in a situation where he has less pressure on him than if he were the favorite.
In this fight, Keyshawn believes that both fighters will throw their game plans out the window and just fight.
“I didn’t see no brawl. I didn’t see no fists being thrown, but it was interesting. When they see each other, it’s always an altercation,” said Keyshawn Davis to Fighthype about the skirmish between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia during Friday’s weigh-in.
“I just hope Tank is fully there mentally. Ryan is ready. Ryan has nothing to lose at all. His back is against the wall. If he loses, everybody expected it already, right?
“He’s got nothing to lose. He can go back to being on commercials and s**t. I will put it all on the line. I’ve got twelve rounds to do it. Not that three-round bull s**t. I’m going to put that s**t on the line.
“I’m not going to be in a Camaro. I’ll be in a Bentley or something. I’ll probably be in a Ferrari. I’ll be by myself because I’m always by myself, but I’m just going to be appreciative of everything,” said Keyshawn when asked what it’ll be like when he’s in a big fight like this.
“I’m a really appreciative guy and really genuine when you get to know me. I’m really a to-myself type of person. I learn to do stuff like this
“Tank has got everything to lose. Tank, his mental has got to be there. If I had that pressure on me, I know what I would do. I will fight. I will fight.
“You can tell that s**t ain’t scripted, so tomorrow is going to be a good fight. It’s going to be one of those fights where they’re going to have a game plan, but that s**t is going to go out the window. I think they a** just going to fight.
“I’m just enjoying my moment of it not being my moment because when it’s my turn, it’s my turn. I’m just enjoying everything, taking everything in so when it’s my moment, I know how I want it to be.
“This is both of their first big fights. Every time Tank fought, it was a big fight for him just to watch him fight to see what he’s going to do. This time it’s about, ‘Oh s**t, Ryan Garcia might do this or might do that.’ So it’s a big fight for the both of them. This is both first big fight.
“I think they’re both trying to hide their true emotions right now for real. I think they both have something inside of them that is bothering them in a good way or just motivating them. I think they’re both trying to hide their true emotions. It’s going to show on Saturday night.
“Tank for sure. A knockout in seven and a half rounds, probably a little later,” said Keyshawn when asked who wins on Saturday. “60-40, Tank. For sure, Ryan can fight. I’ve been seeing Ryan since the amateurs. I’ve been seeing Ryan. I’ve been seeing Tank. I’ve been seeing these guys.
“Ryan can fight. He’s not scared. He’s not worried. For sure, he was shadowboxing up there. He’s cut up. He’s ready,” said Keyshawn when asked if Ryan Garcia looked confident on the scales. “He’s definitely ready and definitely dangerous,” said Keyshawn.
