Pick and preview for tonight’s clash between the top 2 Jr lights in the game. I think the style clash and location could mean controversy by nights end. Live and free on The Corner Stool.

@MikeCoppinger @EverythingBoxi2 Depends on the single win. Crawford-Alvarez, Leonard-Hagler were singles that were so massive it justified anyone who selected them. Hagler was a consensus choice in 85 with one fight in an era where people fighting just twice was considered whack

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

@MattClarkBoxing That card was trash but two of them were clean.

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

Foster got fair cards from jump. Good to see.

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

Foster learned how to fight the old fashioned way. Took some early L’s, honed his craft, and when the moment arrived he was ready.

[Ernie Gabion 🥑 @eaner0919]

Fighter of the year has to edge towards Shock.

What a year to date

[David Greisman @fightingwords2]

In 10 months, O’Shaquie Foster has beaten Stephen Fulton, Raymond Ford and Emanuel Navarrete — all while some so-called stars and pound-for-pound talents haven’t fought at all or have been in the ring just once.

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

There hasn’t been an “undisputed” champ at 130 since Kobayashi in 1967. Hope Foster gets the Cacace-Ball winner .

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

8-4 Foster. My guy when this was announced gut was Shaq but I didn’t think he could get a decision in San Anton. Those two KDs might have made fate work for him.

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

Foster won that round for about 2:50 but that stagger at the end was consequential. Circle that one too

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

7-3. 20th to Nav but close frame. Both guys landed some nasty stuff

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

7-2. Could be a round closer (8 was swingish). Commentary is trying tot tell story too much and misses a lot of landed stuff tonight.

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

6-2 Foster

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

5-2 Foster. Lot can still happen but there’s something to be said for Nav’s awkwardness looking oafish when guys don’t just stay there for those weird salvos

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

Foster 4-2 but that late surge for Nav makes that (and round 2) the circle them as swing rounds frames so far

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

3-2 Foster

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

Excellent 4th for Foster. 2-2 here.

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

Good third round. Could be 2-1 either way. Second was close regardless of commentary

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

Foster 1-0
