A user believed the fight could be a good test for Davis. They said, “Good test for Keyshawn!” While Davis has strong boxing fundamentals and an aggressive style, Berinchyk has experience and technical prowess working for him. In addition, the champion also has underrated power, too.

Someone expressed their happiness about Davis getting a title shot and further campaigned for a future fight with Gervonta Davis. They wrote, “Finally keyshawn gets an opportunity for a title shot and if everything goes well We could see a tank vs Keyshawn unification fight since they both have beef.” The two boxers have been at each other’s throats for a while now and don’t shy away from blasting each other.
