Keyshawn Davis vs Gustavo Lemos Betting Analysis

Undefeated lightweight contender Keyshawn Davis returns to action this Friday in his hometown of Norfolk, Virginia as he takes on the extremely tough Gustavo Lemos in a fight that will no doubt boost his chances of getting a world title shot sometime next year.

Davis is coming off a points decision victory in his last fight against Miguel Madueno, but scored a highly impressive stoppage of former champion Jose Pedraza in his fight immediately prior to that, stopping him with an unanswered barrage of blows in the sixth round.

Gustavo Lemos meanwhile will face his second top-rated opponent in as many fights, with many people feeling he was extremely hard done by in his close decision loss against Richardson Hitchins last time out.

Keyshawn Davis comes into this one as the prohibitive -670 favorite, with Gustavo Lemos coming back as a +390 underdog.

Davis Knocking On The Door at 135

With his victory over Miguel Madueno back in July, Keyshawn Davis moved himself ever closer to a mandatory world title shot in the very near future, with the Virginia native now ranked inside the top three with the WBC, IBF, and WBO.

That huge revenge fight against Matchroom’s Andy Cruz also appears on the horizon for Davis moving forward, with the Cuban beating Davis in the final of the World Championships, Pan-American Games, and the 2020 Olympic final as well.

Lemos Arriving On The Scene At Lightweight

Despite stopping former featherweight world champion Lee Selby back in 2022 in what was a gutsy display from the Welshman, Gustavo Lemos received little credit for that win, coming in as a huge underdog ahead of his last fight against highly-touted contender Richardson Hitchens in April.

However, Lemos showed in that fight why he’s such a danger in the 135lb division, pummeling Hitchens throughout that fight and continually forcing him onto his back foot, with Hitchens’s jab and length allowing him to barely squeeze out a narrow, and somewhat unpopular, unanimous points decision win.

Keyshawn Davis vs Gustavo Lemos Expert Prediction

Keyshawn Davis is without question one of the top ten prospects on the planet right now, with his sparring against good friend and stablemate Terence Crawford obviously paying dividends for him in the pro game.

However, odds make fights at the end of the day, and at a -650, the books are giving Keyshawn Davis an 86.7% probability of victory in this fight, a percentage we just can’t get on board with.

Lemos presents a style that Davis hasn’t seen yet, a style that almost saw Richardson Hitchens come unstuck, and on top of that, this will be Davis’ first homecoming fight, adding unnecessary pressure to a spot he may already feel that he needs to overperform in.

Put Keyshawn Davis on any top ten prospects list in the sport and I will 100% agree, but against a rugged, reckless freight train like Gustavo Lemos, especially in front of an overly-energized home crowd, this is an extremely dangerous spot for Keyshawn Davis on Friday, so it’s underdog or pass for us.

Keyshawn Davis vs Gustavo Lemos Prediction: Gustavo Lemos ML (+390)
