Emanuel Navarrete vs. O'Shaquie Foster Live Updates, Highlights and Results

It wasn't close for 12 rounds. It wasn't close on the scorecards.

Foster won his deserved unanimous decision with a 115-111 margin from one judge and matching 118-108 counts from the other two.

"I worked so hard to get here," Foster said. "I knew he was gonna be strong and I knew he was gonna be awkward. I knew he was a great champion. But I just had a little more in me tonight. I knew I was levels above him and I just wanted to prove it.

"My coaches told me (in the late going) to go out and put him on his a-s. And that's what I did."

Foster's corner urged him to step on the gas in the final two rounds, and he scored a knockdown early in the 12th, becoming just the second man to drop Navarette.

Another knockdown came just inside the final minute.

"He's trying to out-Mexican the Mexican," analyst Sergio Mora said.

He was winning easily anyway but the knockdowns widened the margin for Foster, who should exit the ring with three sanctioning body belts along with Ring Magazine's jewelry.

Call it 9-3 and 117-109 on the B/R card for Foster.

"That is the embodiment of the sweet science," Mora said.

Navarrete landed 15 percent of his punches through six rounds compared to 30-plus percent for Foster. A check left hook from Foster stiffened a charging Navarrete's legs and prompted the Mexican to switch to defense early in the seventh, but Foster didn't press.

"I think (Navarrete's) getting outclassed," analyst Sergio Mora said.

Navarrete landed a hard lead right to the body midway through the eighth, but Foster didn't show any visual discomfort. He caught Foster on the ends of some punches to the head to end the round, too, but, again, didn't generate any noticeable impact.

Foster's lead cornerman suggested his man needed to force the fight, and it seemed Foster responded in the ninth, fighting off the front foot and initiating exchanges to accentuate the athletic differences between them. It's a 7-2 and 88-83 rout for Foster through nine.

The fighters threw simultaneous left hands and Foster smiled as his landed to begin the fourth. The WBC champ decided to be aggressive for a few moments and was effective in landing cleanly, landing a counter right hand as Navarrete forced him along the ropes.

If Foster can maintain his energy for 12 rounds, it looks early like he'll cruise to a win. He was that much faster, that much more agile, and that much sharper through four rounds.

Analyst Sergio Mora called Foster's performance "masterful" in the fifth, crediting him for circling away from Navarrete's charges rather than backing straight up.

"He doesn't fear the power from Navarrete because (Navarrete's) too slow," Mora said.

Foster's movement has made it difficult for Navarrete to catch him with hard punches, and Foster frequently connected with sharp shots to counter the aggression.

"It's not easy," Mora said, "but it is surgical."

Echoing that sentiment, it's 5-1 and 59-55 for Foster on the B/R scorecard at the halfway point.

Foster was faster and more aggressive to start the fight and got a pop from the crowd when he landed a sweeping lead left hook to Navarrete's head in the first 20 seconds.

Navarrete was far slower by contrast as he tried to catch Foster, and it was immediately apparent he would need something decisive to happen to avoid being competitively undressed in each round. He did not land a single punch in the first three minutes.

"It's gonna be a long night for Navarrete," analyst Sergio Mora said, "if he can't close that distance."

Navarrete sold out to get closer in the second round and may be compromising his stamina with the constant chasing and lunging as Foster moves and clinches. The Mexican champion did land a long left uppercut that drove Foster backward in Round 2, but it wasn't particularly concussive.

The third round was more about Foster's jabs and movement, but Navarrete got a crowd pop every time one of his rushes created a collision that drove Foster backward. Still, the sharper punches, when they landed, were Foster's.

It's no worse than 2-1 and 29-28 for Foster through three rounds.

It's 10:53 p.m. on the East Coast and the Navarrete-Foster ring walks are starting.

Accompanied by a live mariachi band, Navarrete is walking first.

Blow-by-blow man Todd Grisham said we're likely looking at another 20 minutes before the main event, thanks to both men repeating the hand-wrapping process.

Neither have gloves on now. Both are warming up in their dressing rooms.

It probably didn't help the pacing that the second and third bouts on the four-bout show were done in seven and two rounds, respectively.

Navarrete is 14-1-1 with a no-contest and 10 KOs in title fights, while Foster is 6-1 with one KO.

Two finishes in a combined nine rounds have removed the final hurdles prior to the main event, which will have Navarrete's IBF and WBO titles on the line along with Foster's WBC belt and the Ring Magazine championship, too.

Ring Magazine ranks Navarrete first in the weight class and has Foster second, though Foster is labeled as a -180 favorite according to DraftKings.

"I think (Foster) controls and dominates the middle of the ring," analyst Sergio Mora said.

Gonzalez was already a hot prospect on the way to a title shot but dispatching a two-time challenger in less than two full rounds probably speeds up the process.

The official time was 1:04 of Round 2.

"I wanted to stay in the pocket and see what his pressure choices were," Gonzalez said. "The body's on my mind every single fight. You touch the body and the head will fall."

The win was Gonzalez's fifth straight by finish in a total of 17 rounds.

"I'm 24. I'm in the prime of my career," he said. "I'm ready for a title fight next week."

Just as analyst Chris Mannix said Vazquez has been victimized by slow starts in the past, Vazquez came out firing with both hands in the first round and drove Gonzalez to the ropes, though nothing he landed seemed to have fight-altering significance.

Gonzalez responded to Vazquez's quick flurry in the second, though, with a hard right hand that wobbled the veteran and continued with a left to the body that yielded a knockdown.

Vazquez stayed on his right knee and didn't attempt to rise as referee Laurence Cole's count reached 10. It was Gonzalez's 12th finish in 19 career victories.

It's step-up time in the co-main event for 24-year-old California-based featherweight Gonzalez, who's 18-0 with 11 KOs and takes on Vazquez, 31, who was beaten in a challenge for the IBF title in 2023 and another for the WBO title in 2025.

Vazquez, born in and based out of Fort Worth, Texas, is 20-3 with six KOs.

It won't get KO of the Year nods, but it was a well-timed career resurrection for Martin, who scored a knockdown with the straight left and followed up strongly enough to prompt referee Angel Mendez to intervene at 2:38 of Round 7.

"It took me a little longer than we wanted," Martin said, "but we got it done."

Analyst Sergio Mora gave Martin a "solid B" as a grade.

Martin is 2-0-1 with two KOs since moving to 140 pounds and the loss was Zaina's first in the weight class after he'd gone 2-0-1 with two KOs.

Martin landed 86 punches in six-plus rounds to Zaina's 51.

Martin opened the seventh appearing to be more concerned with fending Zaina off rather than pressing the fight like he'd been doing earlier, which was a good look for Zaina.

Then, suddenly, Martin delivered a well-timed straight left that left Zaina stumbling into the ropes before he hit the deck. He rose, but a follow-up flurry from Martin drove Zaina back to the ropes and prompted a referee stoppage.

"(Martin) wanted a spectacular performance," blow-by-blow man Todd Grisham said. "He at least got a spectacular finish."

Zaina's shots, when he lands them, are noticeable. But Martin was flicking consistent jabs and usually moving forward in the fourth, giving the impression that he's initiating.

Zaina landed a sweeping lead right hook and a hard blow to Martin's body late in the fourth and he was the more effective fighter when he came forward, thanks to superior length.

Zaina finished an exchange with a right hook midway through the fifth and prompted analyst Sergio Mora to suggest Martin needs to be leery of that shot going forward.

A heavy underdog, Zaina landed well late in the fifth and continued to be the aggressor into the sixth, troubling Martin and edging into 3-3 and 57-57 deadlocks on B/R's scorecard.

Martin is the faster and sharper fighter, but Zaina is physically bigger and presumably stronger, having spent much of his career above the 140-pound weight class. He's weighed-in as heavy as 150.75 pounds and has never lost while weighing less than 142.5 pounds.

Still, Martin was moderately effective bouncing in and out and shooting a southpaw jab, but neither fighter was moving his hands enough to impress the crowd, whose boos were audible on the broadcast through the back half of the second round.

Flip a coin for who's winning. We'll call it 2-1 and 29-28 for Martin through three rounds thanks to the impression that he's moving forward and pressing the "action."

The second fight is a 10-rounder at super lightweight and the latest stage in the would-be rebuilding project for former lightweight title challenger Frank Martin.

Martin was 18-0 when he was stopped in eight rounds by Gervonta Davis in June 2024, was off for 18 months before stopping Rances Barthelemy in San Antonio, then was held to a 10-round draw by Nahir Albright in his most recent fight in February.

His opponent, Zaina, is 18-3-1 with 12 KOs and has won five of six since dropping two straight eight-round decisions in 2024.

The only mystery was whether a judge would give Faccio a round.

None did.

Davis earned 80-72 verdicts on all three scorecards—matching the B/R tally—while recording his third straight decision win. Whether he's a legitimate title-worthy prospect is up for debate, but he was clearly the better man against Faccio.

Davis landed 105 power punches to 51 for Faccio.

Davis was the better man in every round—or certainly almost every round—but the South American was far sturdier than anticipated and Davis was far from transcendent.

The prospect's body work was his most impressive strategy across eight rounds.

B/R gave him each of the eight rounds for an 80-72 points verdict, but it wouldn't be shocking to see it slightly narrower so long as it's in Davis's favor for a third straight decision win after he debuted with 10 consecutive KOs.

Davis continued to pursue Faccio and did his best work in the fourth when he isolated his foe to a corner, but the Uruguayan seemed to have little interested in standing and fighting.

A hard right hand near the end of the fourth was Davis's best punch of the fight, but Faccio took it well and did not seem damaged. Faccio's best round of the fight was the fifth—as he landed more shots than in any previous round—but that doesn't mean he won it.

Faccio continued to up the offense early in the sixth, but the increased engagement prompted Davis to unload more, too, particularly to the body, which left Faccio hunched over in some distress.

It's a decent fight, but still a shutout—6-0 and 60-54—for Davis through six.

Faccio's feint at a right-handed bolo punch in the first round earned him the scorn of the broadcast team, with analyst Chris Mannix saying he hadn't earned the right to make that move, and Faccio was hit soon after by a hard body punch that clearly made an impact.

Davis did his best work early with a hard, sharp left jab.

Davis continued to lash Faccio's body in the second round, though Faccio did reply occasionally and seemed to confuse Davis with an awkward style.

A left hook to the body from Davis followed by a left to Faccio's head was the best combination of Round 3, which Davis exited with 3-0 and 30-27 leads on B/R's card.

Unbeaten Top Rank prospect Deric Davis opens up the adjusted main card in a scheduled eight-rounder at lightweight with Joaquin Faccio.

Davis, 24, is 12-0 with 10 KOs while Faccio, a native of Uruguay, is 10-1 with four KOs and is making his second appearance in the U.S.

He was beaten by eight-round decision in his first U.S. fight in April and his 10 wins, all in Uruguay, have come against opponents with a combined record of 37-105-2.

By contrast, Davis's 12 foes have had a combined 52-38-6 mark.
