Bernie\u2019s comment about reading \u201cbetween the lines\u201d suggests issues that led to Keyshawn leaving McIntyre. Tim Bradley suggested on his channel<\/a> that Keyshawn felt \u2018BoMac\u2019 and the team \u201cweren\u2019t there for him\u201d when he failed to make weight for the De Los Santos fight, which led to\u00a0the fight being canceled and him losing his WBO 135-lb title.<\/p>\n

Keyshawn had been with \u2018BoMac\u2019 for 10 fights since teaming up with him in April 2022. The biggest win during those years was his victory over WBO lightweight champion Denys Berinchyk last February. Fans criticized Keyshawn for turning down a fight against his former four-time conqueror, Andy Cruz, who defeated him in the 2020 Olympics. The Cuban Cruz had a 4-0 record against Keyshawn in the amateurs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s business. I think he\u2019s a superstar. I don\u2019t have to say much. The kid said it all. If you can read between the lines, you can understand what\u2019s going on,\u201d said coach Bernie \u2018Tha Boxer\u2019 Davis to MillCity Boxing<\/a>, discussing Keyshawn Davis\u2019 decision to part ways with trainer Brian \u2018BoMac\u2019 McIntyre.<\/p>\n

If Keyshawn expected to given a lot of attention from \u2018BoMac\u2019, and it wasn\u2019t there, that would be a good reason for him to go in another direction toward a different coach. It\u2019s unclear how much time \u2018BoMac\u2019 was spending training his other fighters, like Terence \u2018Crawford. Having him as one of his fighters would be a time drain.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know why the kid [Davis] decided to go another route, because I know Bo didn\u2019t quit on him,\u201d said Bernie.<\/p>\n

Keyshawn says he\u2019s got a whole different team working with him. He doesn\u2019t say who they are, but he appears happy for now. He\u2019s with his friend or \u2018Brother\u2019 Shakur Stevenson.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are responsible for what we do. If you look at the team\u2019s actions and the other\u2019s actions, you can go from there. I\u2019m still a fan of Keyshawn. I think he\u2019s a superstar. I wish him nothing but the best. Bo is a diplomat,\u201d said Bernie about \u2018BoMac\u2019 choosing not to speak on the circumstances that led to Keyshawn leaving his camp.<\/p>\n

Keyshawn is now fighting at 140, but still doesn\u2019t fight scheduled despite 10 months of inactivity. He was briefly in negotiations for a fight against IBF light welterweight champion Richardson Hitchins for the January 31st Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson card at Madison Square Garden in New York. However, Keyshawn and Hitchins failed to make a deal.<\/p>\n
