Emanuel Navarrete VS O'Shaquie Foster 3 Belt Unification Oct 24 Sn Antonio,Texas

[348Judah]

Each side has its own strengths and weaknesses, and this is what I expect the opponents to consider against each other first. For now, we can only give our view based on their previous record and performances, but anything can happen as they clash to show who deserves to win.

Watching it would also be one of the most interesting periods to get entertained because it will be full of suspense about who will likely win.

I almost forgot this match, it's only 13 days to be exact, both fighters, I'm sure, are now at their peak performance 3 belt unification seldom happens in a boxing match.

What's at stake is the reputation that you are the undisputed champion at that weight category. It's not only the 3 organization titles; there is a fourth one, and that is the right magazine title, which is also a prestigious title, so there are four titles on the line.

And when so much at stake in a fight, fighters will give everything they have.

It's a contrasting style, Foster is a technical boxer and is also have a good defensive skills. On the other hand, we all know that Navarette is a volume puncher, and very aggressive. So this is what we call a stylistic match, and hopefully it can live up to the hype.

Base on the current odds though, Foster is still the favorite in this fight as odd makers see his technical skills can overcome Navarette. The chin of Navarette though is also in question here that once Foster's power touch him, it could be over.

This will be an interesting fight; I love boxing, especially those situations where two fighters with opposing styles collide. Navarrete is a powerful and tenacious fighter. He once rose from a knockdown and was able to turn the tide of the fight—and that speaks volumes, at the very least, about his willpower and ability to overcome his own self-control. Foster is more technical, which allows him to overcome his lack of power. Any fight is, first and foremost, a clash of techniques, but also a clash of personalities. We'll see which way the judges side.

[LogitechMouse]

I don't think Foster can keep up with Navarrete's volume punching; this guy can throw out 1000 punches in a fight, he's throwing everything but the kitchen sink. I've seen him fight Dogboe, one of the toughest boxers in the featherweight division, and he just ate his punches and beat him decisively in their two fights.

O'Shaquie Foster is a good boxer, but not enough to counter Navarette's volume punches. Navarette will either submit O'Shaquie Foster or win by decision.

We know Navarette's way of boxing where he will unleash punches from everywhere, but let's also not forget that Foster's a great on defending himself and aside from that, he hasn't been dropped throughout his professional career, and that could be the reason why Foster is the favorite to win on this fight.

Looking at the odds on Shuffle:

Foster is the favorite to win on this one, but TBH it could be anybody's fight. I mean both are title holders for a reason, and right now it's still hard to pick whoever will win. A battle of champion, a battle of offense vs. defense, and whoever will win on this fight will try and unify the whole division and will fight the winner of the Cacace Vs. Ball fight that will happen on December of this year.

As I can see from the poll results, the majority of members are inclined to support the Mexican Emmanuel Navarrete, either by judges' decision or by knockout.

But if we take the rule that says "the best style of counter-punches and smart defense often outweighs the aggressive style," then the victory may go to O'Shaquie Foster by a small margin, contrary to expectations, or so I think.

[X-ray]

Only two weeks before this 3-belt unification bout, and here is the result of the poll. Many of us here are good at analyzing boxers' performances, and I believe that although there were 5 votes, they reflect the overall analysis of both fighters.

I vote for Navarrete because I have followed his career since his bouts with Dogboe, who was considered by many back then to be unbeatable, a match in which Navarrete had to dig deep to beat the hard-punching Dogboe.

I'm going for Foster by decision and it seems i'm the minority here. 

Like i said that in the previous page about it's hard to determine which side that is gonna be more dominant, but i think Foster can upset Navarrete in this game. I'm going for a weird pattern when anyone was doubting Foster, then he will perform beyond our expectation

If Foster can fight calmly and discipline, Navarette is gonna be nothing in this game. Only hope he's not losing his mind, then he can explore Navarrete who is irresponsible defensively.

Going against you this time mate. I like the chance of Navarrete pulling an upset against Foster in a few hours. Though Foster has an edge because of his technicality and his defense is for me superb but i think that can be offset with Navarrete's relentless volume of punches which he is known for. The odds for Navarrete to win via decision is just too attractive for me considering that this is a very winnable fight for him.

Good luck to us.

Yes mate, when two opposing style collides, it usually the defense that might win the fight. So just like here, Navarette throws volume while Foster loves to counter and play defense. So it's really hard to see which style will be on top of it although power might play a big role.

So with that, if ever I will pull the trigger, I might also go with Foster here to win by decision.

Anyways, good luck to boxing fans and those who are going to support Navarette.

[freedomgo]

I could not believe the odds are this high?

Of course i will follow your pick bisdak40, this is like an early Christmas present. its time to see a huge update here.

This is where i see the odds are mispriced and offer good value.

[coin-investor]

Just saw the weigh-in and the face-off, I'm impressed with O'Shaquie's physique, just look at the difference, but looks can be deceiving. Dogboe was pure muscle, but Navarrete beat him twice.

So much is at stake in this fight. Based on their looks and confidence, they are in the best shape of their careers. It will come down to who wants it more tomorrow, so expect a war tomorrow. I expect the fight to be close. I don't think both fighters will leave it to the judges, they are likely to go for a knockout.

[DrBeer]

My prediction: the full distance, with O'Shaka Foster winning by decision. The reason is simple - both fighters are excellent, and it will most likely come down to them "outboxing each other". Yes, Navarrete has more experience, but Foster has the ideal style to neutralize the Mexican’s chaotic rushes, he’s more technically skilled and a better tactician.

You made an accurate decision on this one, but it's the 12th round that made the big difference. Foster scored two knockdowns against Navarrete, but he accumulated a lot of points on his counter.

There are so many missed shots coming from Navarrete. Foster was so quick and had a very good defence. I thought it was a close decision, but Foster won by unanimous decision. There's a lot of action in this fight, and you are right, Foster's style is enough to neutralize Navarrete's attack.

[FinneysTrueVision]

Navarrete really struggled with the speed of Foster. Early on they looked evenly matched, but Navarrete could not consistently and effectively apply pressure to the slick, athletic Foster. We expected Foster to have good defense, but he is also well rounded offensively. When Navarrete got desperate, Foster countered perfectly and dropped him twice.

At 33 years old and having 3 losses against fighters who aren’t that great, you don’t expect fighters to keep improving. Foster is an exception and this win moves him into the pound for pound list.

Lomachenko was watching ringside after he announced his comeback with the goal of becoming undisputed champion. I think Foster would easily beat the winner of Cacace vs. Ball to unify the titles. If he fights Loma after that, it would undoubtedly be a super fight. I would have to favor Foster because of his recent momentum, although I’m sure Loma will give him a lot to handle.

The first was just a flash knockdown, but the second, it looks like Navarette is hurt. He has some power too and very accurate on his counter punching. While Navarette started slow and it was just in round 3 that he heated up. But Foster was very quick and just scoring points at will.

There are so many missed shots coming from Navarrete. Foster was so quick and had a very good defence. I thought it was a close decision, but Foster won by unanimous decision. There's a lot of action in this fight, and you are right, Foster's style is enough to neutralize Navarrete's attack.

He is known to throw volume punches, so it is expected to missed a lot of shots. And maybe he can hit that one or two and Foster might feel his power. It happens at round 10, but Navarette was out of time for that rally.

[Ziskinberg]

It was the speed advantage that was the key for Foster, though I could see how solid Navarrete was but in the last round he looked gassed and got knocked down twice, well deserved win, now the betting line makes sense why Navarrete was a huge underdog.

For those who were not able to watch the fight, here's the highlights of the fight.

And as what we say in boxing, speed kills, and in the first round up to the last, Foster took the fight to Navarette with his speed and accurate counters. Although there were times that he eat Navarette's punches and seems that he is affected as he slowed down.

But once he recovered from that, he will take the fight every round and only few round were scored for Navarette. And we can say that it was a complete domination win by Foster as it Navarette looks amateur against him.

Looking at the fight, even though Foster didn't score that 2 knockdowns in the final round, I believe he will win on that fight, but it will be a very close one unlike the actual decision.

For me, Naverrete only won I think around 2 rounds, and even though he gets that 12th round, Foster would still win. 115-111, 118-108 and 118-108 is the complete score card, and I wonder how the one judge scored it 115-111 though. Anyway, as expected, despite of the  knockdown, Navarrete is still on the offensive mode, but the defense and the accuracy of Foster prevailed on this fight. Let's not talk about it that much, but the question now is, "What's next for both of them?"

For Naverrete, he has an option to go up to lightweight if he can although he only fought there once, and lost via a split decision. As for Foster, he could wait for the WBA title holder in the next few months and he could unify the division. Cacace will fight Nick Ball on December then the winner will fight the interim champion Samedov.

That scorecard though of that one judge, I guess that's why boxers doesn't want to go them to score because there are times that they might screw things up for the obvious winner.

I also predicted that Foster will win by decision here because of the clash of style. Navarette was really push to his limits, maybe I will also agree that he might have won round 3 and round 10 in my card. But the rest it's all Foster's defense and counter.

For the unification fight, I don't think that the winner of Cacace vs Ball will have a chance to defeat this version of Foster right now.

I underestimated Foster’s technical skills, which is why I picked Navarrete. But Foster was simply too much for him. No matter how hard Navarrete tried to break through Foster’s defense, he struggled because Foster always had a counter waiting whenever he came in. Navarrete also gassed out in the championship rounds, and as a result, he got caught clean and was knocked down twice.

Overall that was a very good performance by Foster and he got a good chance of unifying all the belts in this division if given the chance but i think he would go where the money is and that is the fight with Loma which i think is a acid test of his career.
