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. Link in bio.

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.

Fighter of the year has to edge towards Shock. What a year to date

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.

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

Foster got fair cards from jump. Good to see.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Muhammad Ali on Dempsey, Tunney, and Greb. 1969 Madrid newspaper ABC. "Dempsey, like Tunney, while champ, never faced a number 1 contender. For years, he ran from Harry Wills and would be scared to death whenever someone mentioned light heavyweight Harry Greb.”

I've seen 116-112 Smith, 116-112 Puello and a draw. It was a nip and tuck fight with no one dominant and plenty of swing rounds. Calling it a robbery is nonsense. Gomez-O'Doherty was a robbery. This wasn't even in the same ballpark and you're fooling yourself if you think otherwise.
