O'Shaquie Foster Drops Navarrete Twice, Unifies Three Titles at 130 in San Antonio

O'Shaquie Foster walked into San Antonio with one world title and walked out with three. The WBC super featherweight champion beat Emanuel Navarrete by unanimous decision Saturday night at the Frost Bank Center, taking Navarrete's WBO and IBF belts and the vacant Ring Magazine title at 130 pounds.

The judges scored it 118-108, 118-108 and 115-111, all for Foster, per the official results reported by Boxing News 24, Fightmag and Yahoo's Uncrowned.

Two knockdowns to close it

Navarrete kept coming, the way he always does, and he had real moments in the second half. Boxing insider Mike Coppinger, who scored it 117-109 for Foster, wrote on X that Navarrete "was coming on strong" in rounds 10 and 11. Foster answered in the 12th. He dropped Navarrete twice in the final round, and while Navarrete got up both times, the cards were never in doubt.

Coppinger called it a "career-best performance" and put Foster on the short list for Fighter of the Year, pointing to his May decision win over Raymond Ford. Foster moves to 26-3 (12 KOs). Navarrete, a three-division world champion, drops to 40-3-1 (33 KOs).

What's next for Foster

Foster didn't waste time naming a target. He told DAZN he wants the winner of Anthony Cacace vs. Nick Ball, the fight that holds the last major belt at 130.

Coppinger agreed that Foster against the Cacace-Ball winner for undisputed "makes all the sense," with Vasyl Lomachenko a possible opponent after that. Shakur Stevenson, now a free agent after his release from Zuffa, also gave Foster props after the fight, The Ring reported.

Fight week coverage is all here: the weigh-in, where Foster came in at 129.8 and Navarrete at 130, and the final press conference, where Foster said he was ice water. He was.

On the undercard

• Albert Gonzalez knocked out Edward Vazquez at 1:04 of the second round.
• Frank Martin stopped Tarik Zaina at 2:38 of the seventh round.
• Deric Davis beat Joaquin Silva Faccio by unanimous decision (80-72 on all three cards).
• Daniel Cortez III edged Joshua Montoya by split decision in the final prelim.

With Foster now one belt from undisputed, the next big 130-pound fight is worth calling early. Boxbid's Fight Picker, Guess the Purse and fan polls are free to play and just for fun.
