Keyshawn Davis went on a bitter rant on social media, reacting to the praise light welterweight prospect Emiliano Vargas was receiving for his impressive performance, knocking out Larry Fryers (13-7-1, 5 KOs) in the fifth round on Friday night on a Top Rank card on ESPN at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

Keyshawn was so angry that he was literally shaking with rage when he talked about Emiliano. What I want to know is why Keyshawn doesn’t have the same energy for Andy Cruz as he does for Emiliano. He lost to the Cuban Cruz four times in the amateurs and looked wild-eyed and insane after he lost to him in the finals of the 2020 Olympics.
ESPN commentators were glazing Emiliano Vargas (12-0, 10 KOs) nonstop, talking about how great he looked with his victory over Fryers. Emiliano’s compliments from ESPN were way beyond anything Keyshawn had received in any of his fights.
They had good reason: Emiliano looked like future star material, showing power, speed, and accuracy with his win tonight. His entertainment value, coupled with his Hollywood looks, makes him a can’t-miss superstar for Top Rank.
ESPN’s talking heads, Bernard Osuna, Tim Bradley, and Mark Kriegel, know talent when they see it. If Keyshawn had the talent Emiliano showed, ESPN would be glazing him, too, but he doesn’t.
He’s more of a WWE wrestler than a boxer. Top Rank has got to be thinking about an exit strategy with Keyshawn because he’s not going anywhere, and they made the mistake of signing him.
“I will beat all of their [backsides] on the same night, including the father,” said Keyshawn Davis on social media, reacting to Emiliano Vargas’ impressive win over Larry Fryers on Saturday night.
“Tell them to set it up. I will go from the father [Fernando Vargas] to the youngest brother [Emiliano] on the same night. The Vargas brothers against the Davis brothers. I don’t care which brother I fight, and the father than get it too.
“Tell Top Rank to set it up. I ain’t even playing. I got eyes on y’all, and I heard you were talking [stuff] when y’all had your media workout. I was about to pull up on y’all. You’re lucky y’all left before I pulled up on y’all. I didn’t even have a clue.
“Y’ll lucky. Y’all didn’t even know. Talking [stuff]. I had ears on, though. [A friend] called and said, ‘Keyshawn, the Vargas brothers are talking [stuff] about you. Tell them to set that up, but tell them they could be under my main even though.
“They talking like they’re so popular. Y’all is a whole other culture. Y’all think my culture knows y’all, bro? What the hell is he talking about? Talking about I’m not an Olympian. Do y’all think my culture know y’all, bro? Don’t nobody know y’all in my culture. What are you talking about? You’re crazy. There’s no comparison between the Davis brothers and the Vargas brothers,” said Keyshawn.
