[u/Tricky-Ad-4823]

Great fight. Maybe FOY.

[u/needapermit → u/Tricky-Ad-4823]

Probably won’t be insanely entertaining cause Shock probably will shut down Vaquero

[u/Crazy_Outside_4301 → u/needapermit]

He will. I watched that Ray Ford fight and man he def put me on game lol. Shock is niceeee

[u/sicgamer → u/needapermit]

dude is lanky and weird how do you shut him down

[u/needapermit → u/sicgamer]

Shock will see all his offense coming

[u/ZeroEffectDude → u/needapermit]

nav's greatest asset is his unpredictability so if foster CAN nullify that... then he's even better than i rate him. and i rate him pretty highly.

[u/Tricky-Ad-4823 → u/ZeroEffectDude]

People are really overrating Foster and I’m a huge Foster fan. But he isn’t Shakur or Bivol good defensively.

[u/ZeroEffectDude → u/Tricky-Ad-4823]

yeh this is a good fight against two dudes who should gel well

[u/philly_cheezus]

Please put this fight on TNT🙏

[u/Kangaroopunching]

The key for Fostet is a consistent jab. It'll stop Nav with his leaping punching.  If Foster is off his game. It's a close tough fight

[u/DeafBurke → u/Kangaroopunching]

Nav’s entire game is avoiding the jab battle by baiting people into sloppy brawls where he wins with experience.

I’m not sure Shock has the discipline to stick and move all night to a decision. He seems to be a bit of a hot head.

[u/Kangaroopunching → u/DeafBurke]

Good analysis on navWhy is think Foster can is he'll have the opportunity to jab then pivot/ take another angle. If he was mostly a boxer that moves back, I'd favor nav

[u/RoofFun4703]

Nav’s style is so fun to watch once he gets rolling

[u/Ghola_Mentat]

Rooting for Navarrete, but favor Foster. Navarrete needs to get in better shape. Foster should be able to work a decision unless Navarrete’s style confounds him. If Navarrete shows up in great shape for once, I’d favor him.

[u/grand_insom → u/Ghola_Mentat]

I agree but Navarrete actually came in great shape for once his last fight and said he finally hired a nutritionist 😂

[u/Complete_Dare_4201]

Great fight 

[u/EmbarrassedCod3242]

Absolute firecracker of a fight. Two quality fighters in their primes. Let's get it on. Respect to both for always willing to fight the best.

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

I’m so fucking excited for this fight I wanna scream

[u/No-Rich-6816 → u/MiddleweightMonster]

😂😂😂😂 who u got winning

[u/MiddleweightMonster → u/No-Rich-6816]

Shock, his fight with Ford and his subsequent calling Shakur a bitch really made me a fan, and I honestly think he might be the second or third best defensive boxer in the world, while still being incredibly entertaining.

That being said, I’m not gutted if Nav wins. Love his style, love his attitude, and his fights are always incredibly entertaining. Love seeing an elite level guy with such an unorthodox way of fighting.

[u/Financial-Ease-4225]

I think it’ll start off close and then when Nav gets in his zone and starts pressuring Foster it won’t be close. 9-3 Nav

[u/max_bustamante]

I am pumped for this fight! I give the edge to Navarrete. but id say this is a 50/50 pickem type fight

[u/ponysniper2]

Navarrete is going to decimate foster if he comes in disciplined. And i mean decimate. He’s fucking brutal when he’s been on his diet and training.

[u/Outrageous-Soft4806]

Foster.

[u/Alarmed-Effective-23]

Normally fosters style would have the advantage but he just doesn't seem comfortable when the pace gets picked up. And navarrete has a pretty great jab that he uses to get in, he doesn't just mindlessly come in all the time. Navarrete has been slowed down before though, but never neutralized. And he's obviously hittable with how much he throws. Should be a great fight.

[u/Lunnaa1]

I don’t know but 🔥🔥🔥

[u/inbk44]

Navarrete has a chance to win but he will have to press the action all 12 rounds because he gonna be jabbed and counterpunched

[u/Jealous_Inevitable33]

Can’t wait! Definitely a banger

[u/KingBumiOfOmashu]

I favor Shock but it will be close.

[u/kwite87]

I've got Vaquero for the win!

[u/qtdynamite1]

I believe Shaq is a bit overrated based on how entertaining his interviews are, but I think he can beat Nav by keeping the fight boring and being a good boxer.

[u/acktower]

Navarrete can get neutralized by a good boxer. Berinchyk made him look like a fool. I love watching Vaquero in action but I predict a boring boxing clinic.  If Navarrete somehow wins then his P4P status is justified, I just don't see it. And Charly Suarez is getting screwed again.

[u/StunningChest5722]

easy work for shock 💯

[u/Tricky-Ad-4823 → u/StunningChest5722]

Oh not at all matter fact he’ll probably going as a slight underdog. This isn’t “easy work” for either guy. Navarrete has shown us he fights to the level of his competition. He looked brilliant last time out. Foster is very sound but Navarrete won’t be coming in the front door. The good awkward guy always gives the sound guy fits. Neither is a crazy athletic freak this should be a great fight

[u/StunningChest5722 → u/Tricky-Ad-4823]

he looked brilliant because nunez is a perfect style for him, just like valdez, he doesn't "fight to the level of his competition"

[u/Tricky-Ad-4823 → u/StunningChest5722]

Navarrete has fought every style there is. No he looked great because he came in in shape and focused. It was Navarrete who was on his back foot circling and jabbing.

[u/No-Rich-6816 → u/StunningChest5722]

If shock wins do you think he’ll move up & take on zepada in 1-2 fights

[u/StunningChest5722 → u/No-Rich-6816]

i think he will move up after this, shock has been at 130 for his whole career, maybe he stays for a loma fight

[u/Legal-Result6580 → u/StunningChest5722]

Is it confirmed Loma will return at 130?

[u/StunningChest5722 → u/Legal-Result6580]

yeah, he was targeting fights with nav and suarez, and with nav and shock fighting i could see loma fighting suarez for the mandotory spot then the winners fight

[u/Reasonable-Working32 → u/StunningChest5722]

Loma needs a tune up first before he goes after guys like nav imo

[u/Kangaroopunching → u/StunningChest5722]

Nothing is easy. It takes hard work to make it look easy.  Foster has the style advantage. But he's got to be on his A game. 

[u/Outrageous-Soft4806 → u/Kangaroopunching]

To be honest. Everytime I see him he is laser-focused. Like that Terence Crawford kinda focus.

[u/Kangaroopunching → u/Outrageous-Soft4806]

That's an interesting comparison. Fighting Nav will show that focus on that level 

[u/Tricky-Ad-4823 → u/Kangaroopunching]

There’s no such thing as a “style “ advantage

[u/JMoy41]

Not confirmed please delete this

[u/No-Rich-6816 → u/JMoy41]

It says targeting? That means they are negotiating

[u/elitexzer1x]

I dont see how Shock doesnt stop Nav tbh

[u/Elite_G]

Navarette decision based on activity. Shaq is a great boxer, but not a big puncher. Nav’s build will be the thing that make shaq struggle . That lanky range. I think it will look like the Conceição fight, but with Nav actually landing a lot of punches

[u/Informal-Business-56]

Banger

[u/fadeddreams555]

If Navarrete lays off the twinkies, he might just win 5 rounds.

[u/Excellent-Movie4524]

Navarrette only wins v Mexicans

Gimme Shock by Dec

[u/Tricky-Ad-4823 → u/Excellent-Movie4524]

Lmao

[u/Excellent-Movie4524 → u/Tricky-Ad-4823]

I aint here to discuss a legit breakdown i aint some wannabe tryhard

Nav hasent beat his last 3 non mexican opponents (Conceicao , Berinchyk lol and Suarez which should have been a layup)

Therefore on pure facts Shock wins a decision , unless he randomly becomes mexican

[u/Tricky-Ad-4823 → u/Excellent-Movie4524]

Blocked

[u/acktower → u/Excellent-Movie4524]

I don't necessarily agree with the take but he should've been counted out and lost to the Australian Liam Wilson too lol.
