The potential Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight has got the boxing world buzzing. Ever since His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has green-lit the fight, it has become the talk of the town. According to reports, the duo is set to face each other in September in Las Vegas, which has been Canelo’s hunting ground for a while now.
With each passing day, we are getting closer to this dream fight, and the combat sports world is looking forward to it. Experts and fighters are already making their predictions known to the world. In a conversation with FightHype, the sibling duo of Keyshawn Davis and Keon Davis, who are very close to Bud Crawford, also chose their winner. However, the younger Davis brother had a small slip-up during his prediction, leaving ‘The Businessman’ embarrassed.
An awkward moment for Terence Crawford
On the sidelines of the Pacheco-Nelson bout on Saturday, the interviewer asked Keon Davis to choose his winner ahead of the dream fight. Without missing a beat, the 23-year-old blurted out, “I got Canelo,” before realizing how badly he had messed up. His older brother, standing beside him, looked on in disbelief, which is when Keon realized his slip-up. Even the interviewer interjected, “He didn’t say that!” Davis immediately corrected his answer.

“Damn.. I got Bud by decision, for sure,” exclaimed Keon Davis. The Norfolk native then started breaking down how the fight would go and gave the two-division undisputed champion an advantage because “I feel like Canelo too slow. I feel like Canelo going to rely on his power and Bud is going to be too fast and he got way better footwork than Canelo. And Bud got great IQ and he left-handed. Canelo be having problems with a lot of left-handers. So I think Bud definitely by a decision,” explained the younger brother as Keyshawn Davis nodded in acceptance.
While Keon Davis immediately rectified his mistake, the moment went viral on social media as @dantheboxingman reminded the 23-year-old of how badly he messed up. He posted the clip from the original video and wrote, “Keon Davis slips up and says that he got Canelo beating Terrence Crawford in September ,” as the fans took their turn to troll the Norfolk natives.
Fans claim it is a Freudian slip
A fan wrote, “Bud when he see homie ,” claiming that the training camps are going to be very awkward now after the slip up. ‘The Businessman’ shares the same trainer as Terence Crawford, Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre, and sometimes even trains together. This is a reason why the 25-year-old looked perplexed when his younger brother chose Canelo Alvarez instead of Bud, albeit mistakenly. Another user, echoing similar thoughts, wrote, “They know who’s gonna win. But they just can’t voice their real predictions because Crawford is their brother.”
Another user wrote, “He was being honest, then his brother looked at him crazy, then he switched it up ,” claiming that Keon Davis was honest when he picked Canelo Alvarez as the winner. It looks like most of the fans had a similar conclusion as another fan interjected, “He said wat he said by no mistake lol till he peeped his bro energy lol,” claiming that the 23-year-old was forced to change his pick because of his elder brother.
A user, who has already picked Canelo Alvarez as his winner, wrote, “Everybody knows canelo gonna knock him out deep down but don’t wanna say it,” siding with the majority of predictions. Another fan wrote, “They both know who gonna win for real,” showcasing just how much of an underdog Terence Crawford is going into the clash.
While everyone was trolling the Davis duo, a fan decided to bring up an old awkward incident with Terence Crawford. He wrote, “This is just as good as the pic of bud and ward sleeping at the Shakur fight,” referring to the time when Bud and Andre Ward were caught looking bored during the Shakur Stevenson vs Artem Harutyunyan fight last year.
However, no matter what, we will get a proper answer in September when the duo faces each other. Till then, all these predictions are entertaining everyone and keeping us all occupied.
