Davis gets back on the jab in the sixth, then one-two-three. Davis is definitely throwing with more power in the second half. But Faccio lands a good uppercut! Overhand right! Davis must be feeling these shots! Davis keeps his forearms to thwart over shots. Then lands his own shots to the body. Nasty. This is turning into bodyshot sparring but involving someone you hate. Huge right hand for Davis! BANG! Faccio telegraphs a power punch and Davis dips to his boots to avoid it. Still does. Davis finishes the round landing a significant strike of his own. Another round for him, overall.
Faccio's punches just seem half-paced compared to Scooter's by the time we get to the second half of this fight, in the fifth, scheduled for eight. Faccio lands. He lands quite a few but Davis laughs it off. Referee stopped the action to warn Davis about punching low but it looked on the belt-line to me. Big right hand on Faccio's cheek. There's way more back-and-forth now but still not enough to win Faccio the fifth. Davis's best shots of the round included those right hands he hammered to Faccio's face, and the grueling shots to the body.
Davis lets Faccio come to him in the fourth. Throws the one-two. Jabs to the midsection. Oh! Good overhand right from 'Scooter' Davis! Faccio with a nice right hand over the top. Faccio swings with a left hook but misses. Again, Davis ducks under hooks. Oof. Nice whipping hook to the body from Davis. Faccio is glistening with sweat, open mouth. The crowd is booing. Probably because Davis is following Faccio around the ring rather than cutting him off. He could get more aggressive but the sweet science is right here, already. Davis shows off speed and slick shots at the end of the fourth. Majestic.
Faccio with a couple of nice solitary shots to start the third. The cuter shots come from Davis but he needs to look out for that uppercut to his body. Davis has Faccio against a corner and works him, boxes him to the next corner. Jabs to the stomach. Faccio's punches look weaker. Well, except for the body shots. He's trying to tire Davis out. Weaken his movement. Scooter at least human. Man, I really like the way Davis moves. His footwork and the way he shifts his fists. It's all so nice. Fluid. Natural. It's like he was born with gloves on.
Having figured Faccio out in the opening round, Davis appears to throw with more spite in the second. Not that he needs that to get this win. But he's already showing another level than what he did in the first. Faccio tries to land something of substance by throwing twice, if not thrice. Davis varies his guard. He walks Faccio down. His defense is solid even when making those forward movements. Yeah, he's really throwing now. I think he was waiting in the first to see if he respected Faccio and realized by now he doesn't. Good right hand from Davis. He dips under Faccio's hook. Dipped under two in a row. Three! Another big round.
Davis has a good couple inches of height advantage over Faccio. Has a mustache advantage, too. Love to see it. Oof! Faccio unfazed at the star power opposite him, showing no respect by firing early and firing hard. Davis jabs to the body. Cracks Faccio to the temple when his guy attempts to throw from mid to close range. Man, already, there is a clear ability to time an opponent coming from Davis. And he's cool with his posture, poise, and countering. Faccio gets through with a jab to the belly button. Scooter's technique is tremendous. Barely any wasted energy compared to Faccio. Davis feints, moves around the ring as he tries to open Faccio up. He avoids Faccio's sloppier shots. Davis pops Faccio's head back twice with a double jab. That just feels like disrespect. Quality opening round from Davis. And he's barely broken sweat.
More than enough to give me some. Come on, Deric. Help a guy out.
Joaquin Silva Faccio makes his walk to the ring first, getting things started on the main card as he faces the daunting task of taking the 0 from Deric 'Scooter' Davis's record.
Navarrete is an awkward, unorthodox, high-volume pressure fighter with extraordinary punching angles and 33 knockouts. Foster is the sharper defensive technician, relying on timing, footwork, counterpunching and tactical adjustments.
Can Navarrete overwhelm Foster with his relentless offensive activity? Or will Foster's precision and technical finesse see him secure a decision?
What makes this bout even better is that both boxers are arguably at their peak.
Navarrete delivered a tremendous performance in February, stopping Eduardo Nuñez after 10 rounds, while Foster has beaten Stephen Fulton and Raymond Ford in successive fights.
Navarrete has the greater finishing power, but Foster's ability to adjust mid-fight makes this an especially difficult matchup to predict.
We've been bereft of big bouts, or meaningful fights, in boxing. Yeah, we've had a fight in front of the pyramids. Yeah, there's been sporadic headline-grabbing material. But THIS is what we need more of. Two dogs. Two champions. Putting it on the line.
And in Emanuel Naverrete against O'Shaquie Foster we have just that. Navarrete has the WBO and IBF belts. Foster has the WBC. The winner, therefore, becomes a three-belt champion at super featherweight, establishing a clear No.1, regardless of WBA champion Anthony Cacace.
Pretty good prelim action from that three-fight segment just there, and we've still got some noteworthy bouts to come.
The main card is set to begin momentarily, and the fighter to kick things off should be Deric 'Scooter' Davis who, with a record of 12-0, 10 KOs, is a lightweight prospect renowned for his explosiveness. He faces Joaquin Silva Faccio in an eight-rounder.
Elsewhere, Frank Martin returns to the ring with Top Rank, after previously competing for PBC, and he fights Tarik Zaina. Martin suffered his first defeat against Gervonta Davis in 2024. He's now campaigning at super lightweight and will have Buddy McGirt in his corner, after previously working with Derrick James. Martin will be hopeful of a win as he continues his rebuild on his Top Rank debut.
Then, we have Albert Gonzalez vs. Edward Vazquez — a helluva co-main. Here's why: Gonzalez is an unbeaten, 24-year-old featherweight prospect, but Vazquez is a proven operator who has shared the ring with Raymond Ford, Joe Cordina and Rafael Espinoza. This is a genuine step-up for Gonzalez. If he wins, well, dang, that's big boy ish.
Cortez has work to do. Tough look for Montoya.
Cortez snapped Montoya's head back in the sixth, with both fighters perhaps needing a statement to feel confident they could win the final round, and the fight itself, after a 50:50 scrap. Cortez may have been the favorite but Montoya had been comfortable throughout the 18-minute bout. Cortez started to lunge, making it easier for Montoya to time him, walking him into straight, quick, combinations. They exchange hooks at the bell and then a hug. What a prelim!
Cortez claims a knockdown after Montoya touches the canvas with a glove but it did look like a slip. Cortez stalked Montoya throughout the fifth, but caught Cortez late with good timing. Tricky to know which way the judges see this one going/heading.
Robert Garcia lambasts Cortez for his chaotic pressure, seemingly going gung-ho for knockout blows rather than working his way into prominent positions through measured aggression. That thirst for finishes has ensured the talented prospect has become a reliable ticket-seller, but it's perhaps now time to fine-tune what he already has. And Garcia wants him to demonstrate that now, against Montoya.
Montoya made some good adjustments in the second round after Cortez romped to an opening round win. A well-matched fight. Montoya's best weapon is the overhand right but he looked reliant on it, even his corner, after the second, wanted a better jab and uppercut variety.
Daniel Cortez III and Joshua Montoya collide at super bantamweight, both enjoying an action-packed first-round.
They all saw it 60-54 for Contreras. All fair. I likely gave far too much weighting to that Pedroza punch in the fourth, even if it did completely change the ebb and flow of that round.
Contreras was back doing his best work in the sixth, fighting big, fighting long. Jab. Right hand. Uppercut. Great hand speed. Four-punch flurries. This is a good development fight for Contreras. Again, credit to Top Rank for its matchmaking. Contreras won himself the fight but may gained my respect and admiration. And we all know which is the more valuable — the win.
5-1; 59-55 type of score. I might have been generous to Pedroza over that one, round-changing punch in the fourth.
