Dallas Davison and Lloyd Mix clash in the co-main event of BKFC 44 on June 9th.

Davison spoke to Dylan Bowker of Bare Knuckle News before this bout. Excerpts from the chat are below.

Dallas Davison

What was specifically different for you in the preparations for this big bout?

“In this particular camp, buddy, Joe Riggs really stepped up on me and really helped me out a lot. His personal training and him and I just doing private sessions really made a world of difference as far as pushing my conditioning to the next level.”

You’re out of Great Falls and much is made of this cross-town rivalry between Louie Lopez as well as Kai Stewart heading into their title fight. Have you noticed a lot of partisan support among the people in town for either Lopez or Stewart heading into that one?

“Yeah, there’s definitely enough tension there to start a fire I’d say. It’s like, man, those guys they hate each other with a big passion. I just hope everybody comes out ok and you know lives to fight another day. But I think they’re going to come out with some severe damage after that one.”

Dallas Davison continued, “Louie Lopez, I train with him. So I try not be, what’s the word I’m going for? Try not to be biased. But he’s in the best shape I’ve ever seen him. He’s trained harder than I’ve ever seen him. I mean the guy is just flat-out strong right now, so.”

What are your thoughts on Lloyd Mix’s stylistic attributes and resume heading into this one?

“You can tell a pretty decent striker when you see one though. I mean the thing with this guy is he’s really good at throwing heavy shots at weird angles that you wouldn’t expect it from. He’s not like an orthodox boxer. I mean I’m pretty sure he might be a southpaw now that I think about it. But still, he’s not like a calm and strategic boxer. He uses finesse and a little bit of talent to throw some weird throws. I plan on just taking him into deep waters.”

Dallas Davison continued, “I’m out here to fight. I want to make it a long fight so we can show something for the fans. Like I said, I can’t do this for very long, man. So I’m gonna try and make the best show I can while I can.”

Is the game plan for this fight largely predicated on using your bread-and-butter jab to maintain the range and counter-strike Mix?

“Yes, more so that’s a lot of what I’m going to be looking at doing. Then also just getting him to move without me having to move, you know. Me utilizing my space, small things that maybe the average guy won’t notice but my opponent definitely will. Just getting people to move without you having to get out of order or you have to move. I think it’s going to be a beautiful show of boxing this weekend.”

All of your BKFC fights have ended in the second stanza but you talk about taking this one into deep waters. Does the approach this time differ as compared to previous BKFC bouts?

“No, it’ll probably be the same. I mean I always tend to fight off my back foot. I’m one that like I’m an aggressive pressure fighter but I’m also in and out all the time. With this guy; with all the other ones actually I wanted them to go long too. But once I’m in there I usually just try to make it apparent who’s the bigger man. But I’m gonna come out hot and then if he survives that then I’m going to be out there boxing. Like I said, I usually fight on my bicycle.”

Dallas Davison continued, “I’m just running around him and working that jab. So I feel like I’m gonna outclass this guy in every way possible. He’s gonna get lucky, he’s gonna hurt me a couple of times. But there’s no storm I can’t weather, man. I’ve taken some serious shots over the years and I’ve never been sat down. I mean Gorjan (Slaveski), I was not laying down. That wasn’t a knockdown (laughs).”
