Emanuel Navarrete and O’Shaquie Foster are set to square off in a big title unification at 130 lbs tonight, with three belts on the line, as well as the clear claim to the No. 1 spot in the super featherweight division.
Navarrete will be putting his IBF and WBO titles on the line against Foster’s WBC belt in what is definitely the most highly-anticipated fight at 130 lbs this year.

Frank Martin was struggling a bit in this appearance, never really getting out of second gear until he found a clean counter left in the seventh that set up the eventual stoppage. Martin, himself, would admit he didn’t performance as he would’ve hoped, but was still content to have scored a stoppage win.
-
THE REFEREE HAS TO INTERVENE WITH MARTIN ON THE ATTACK! MARTIN TKO-7 (2:38).
-
MARTIN DROPS ZAINA HARD IN THE 7TH!
-
Zaina having intermittent success with his long range punching. I have Martin with a one round lead after five.
-
Zaina has a good third round, landing a couple of really good power shots.
-
Martin seemingly has the early edge but not by much. He seems a little tentative and Zaina is fighting a cagey fight. The crowd isn’t particularly pleased through two rounds.
-
Official Scores: 80-72, 80-72, 80-72 for Deric “Scooter” Davis.
-
Faccio withstood a tremendous amount of punishment to the body to make it to the final bell. We’re going to the cards but I’ve basically got it a shutout for Scooter.
-
Vicious body attack comes from Scooter in the 6th, Faccio trying to match but can’t quite match the craft.
-
Scooter scoring clean and clear, and more consistently. I’ve got him up 4-0, halfway through the fight.
-
Man, this Faccio character has some awkward footwork that I suppose is meant to be flashy, but it doesn’t seem to actually serve any tactical purpose unless it’s like some weird psychological warfare.
-
Faccio the aggressor but Scooter picking him off with sharp and straight punches, showcasing some good defensive maneuvering in the opening round.
