Foster, Navarrete Set for Super Featherweight Unification

O’Shaquie Foster and Emanuel Navarrete are set to meet in a super-featherweight unification bout in San Antonio, with multiple division titles and The Ring championship at stake. Foster says his reach, speed, defense and counterpunching can neutralize Navarrete’s awkward, relentless pressure, and argues Navarrete has benefited from facing naturally smaller opponents. He also calls the matchup one of the toughest of his career, while insisting he can dominate if he sticks to his disciplined style. Navarrete’s high-volume attack poses a major test: Foster will need to avoid being drawn into a risky exchange or letting activity determine the rounds. Foster is favored by oddsmakers, but the outcome hinges on whether his control and precision can contain Navarrete’s forward pressure.
