Keyshawn Davis took to social media to express his disappointment following Emiliano Vargas’ win over Larry Fryers in the light welterweight division. Keyshawn questioned why he doesn’t receive as much attention for his fights as Vargas does and compared it to his lack of recognition for his battles with Andy Cruz during his time in the amateur ranks.
While ESPN praised Emiliano Vargas for his victory and labeled him as a rising star in the sport, Keyshawn feels he hasn’t received the same level of acknowledgment from the network for his own performances.
Despite Keyshawn’s frustrations, ESPN analysts including Bernard Osuna, Tim Bradley, and Mark Kriegel, highlighted Emiliano’s skills and potential for a successful career in boxing. This comparison has raised concerns about Keyshawn’s future prospects with Top Rank.
In a bold move, Keyshawn issued a challenge to the Vargas family, suggesting he could take on all the Vargas brothers in a single night, even facing their father, Fernando Vargas. He was irked by the Vargas brothers’ comments about him and was adamant about arranging a fight to demonstrate his superior abilities.
Keyshawn’s strong reaction to Emiliano’s recent win has intensified the rivalry between the two fighters, hinting at a potential showdown in the future.
