Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrate (40-2-1, 32 KOS) WBO WBO WBO WBO Junior Champion won on Saturday evening at the Pechang Arena in San Diego, California. The ring doctor stopped the fight one second in the eighth round because of the cut, which Navarrete suffered to the left eye from the head in the sixth round. The stop time was 00: 1 from the eighth round.

In the first round of Navarrate, who took weight six times, Outlanded Suarez, which ended the round with bloody lips. Navarrate had Suarez in trouble with lots of blows in the last minute of the fourth round.

In the fifth round, Navarrate landed on the chin of Suarez. In the sixth round, Navarrate received a nasty cut on his left eyebrow due to a random head clash, causing blood to cover his face throughout the round. Navarrate was still cutting the cut of the whole round. At the end of the round he had Suarez.

In the seventh round, Suarez went to Navarrate with mainly cutting strokes. Judge Edward Collants called the Ring doctor to check the cut after the round, informing the judge to call. Twice they went to the 78-75, 77-76 results cards in favor of Navarrate, adjudicating in the degree of detention 00: 1 eighth round of the technical decision.

In the co-main, NABF and WBO party, Lightweight Champion Reay “Danger” Muratalla, 23-0 (17) defeated WBO player No. 2 Zaur Abdullaev, 20-2 (12), 12-round unanimous decision to win the momentary delicate title IBF.

In the second round Muratalla landed right on the chin Abdullaeva stunning him in the first minute. In the third round, Abdullaev spoke Muratalla, although little blows landed through both boxers.

From seven to the ninth round, Muratalla developed Abdullaeva. Muratalla stuck the way to win in both the tenth and eleventh round. In the twelfth and final round of Muratalla turned into Southpaw and twisted Abdullaeva. Abdullaev’s face looked like he had entered the fan at the end.

Results 118-110, 119-109 and 119-109. The judge was Thomas Taylor.

Super Featheweight Andres Cortes, 23-0 (12), easily defeated Salvadore “Salvi” Jimenez, 14-2-1 (6), uninteresting 10-round unanimous decision.

In the first four rounds, everything was Cortes with a petite picture of Jimenez, who fought the shell, allowing Cortes to go to the body with left hooks.

In the sixth round, Jimenez finally began to throw blows, although not enough to win his first round. In the ninth round, Cortés won the next round. In the tenth and final round it was all Cortes, while Jimenez landed with his last blow and began to celebrate, as if he won the fight, not to mention the round.

The results were 99-91 and 100-90, 100-90. Ray Corona was a judge.

The semi-average Southpaw “Gallo de Oro” in Giovani Santillan, 34-1 (18), was defeated by Angel Beltran, 18-3 (11), raging a 10-round unanimous decision.

In the first 4 rounds, all Beltran had Santillan’s nose bleeding from the third round. In the fifth round Santillan finally did enough for Outland Beltran.

In the last minute of the sixth round Santillan landed half a dozen left to Brody Beltran. In the seventh and eighth round Beltran mostly had Santillan’s support.

In the ninth round Beltran took the next round again at the speed of his hand. In the tenth and final round, below a minute, Santillan’s low blow dropped Beltran. It was close in a close fight. The results are 97-93, 97-93 and 97-93. The judge was Thomas Taylor.

Super Bantamweight Sebastian “Logan” Hernandez, 20-0 (18), defeated Azat “Crazy A” Hovhannisyan, 21-6 (17), a 10-round unanimous decision.

In the first three rounds Hernandez had an advantage for two rounds, and then Hovhannisan took third place, turning Southpaw. In the fourth round Hovhannisyan counted his body attack when he squeezed Hernandez.

In the fifth and sixth round, Hernandez used a cruel body attack to hurt and undo Hovhannisan. In the seventh round Hernandez had Hovhannisyna against the lines, wanting to end the fight when Hovhannisyan returned in the last seconds with a wave of blows.

In the eighth round, Hernandez once again had Hovhannisyana against lines for no reasons. Hovhannisan did enough to go through the round. In the ninth round Hernandez had his way mainly when judge David Solivan decided Hovhannisyan for holding.

In the tenth and final round Hernandez won, going to the body when Hovhannisyan returned and did enough to take a round. The judge’s results were 98-91, 98-91 and 98-91.

The delicate Alan “Kid Kansas” Garcia, 16-1 (11), defeated Cristian “Vikingo” Medina, 8-3-1 (5), according to the eight of a unanimous decision.

In the second round in the right mountains from Medina in the last minute Garcia stayed when Medina knocked him on canvas. In the third round of Garcia left Southpaw, then turned to the Orthodox and put an attack on the medina, having a good round.

In the fifth round of Garcia he had the way to the last half minute, when Medina landed on the upper part, which hurt Garcia at the bell.

In the seventh round the medina landed the upper right, opening the blood flood from Garcia’s nose in the middle of the round. In the eighth and final round, all Garcia is, in the last seconds, the left eyebrows of the medina with blood flowing down his face.

The results were 79–73, 79-73 and 79-73. The judge was Edward Collantes.

Super Flyweight Perla Basaldua, 2-0 (1), easily beat Southpaw Mona Ward, 0-2), four-orphable unanimous decision.

In the first round, Basaldua had her way with Ward, dropping her head in the last seconds, forcing Basaldua to the canvas. In the second and third rounds it was all basalda. In the fourth and final round of Basalda ended the next round. The results of the judges were 40-36, 40-36 and 40-36. Chris Leben was a judge.

Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown

"Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown"

Solomon Dacres expects to stop Bakhodir Jalolov tonight, but his record offers little support for that prediction against the 6’7″ two-time Olympic gold medalist.

Jalolov has looked sluggish enough lately to give critics room for skepticism. The dominant puncher seen in the amateur ranks rarely appears in his prize ring outings, prompting a few observers to sniff an upset. Regardless, Jalolov looking flat does not suddenly transform Dacres into a top threat.

“Got to get him out of there, man,” Dacres told SecondsOut. “Mid to late rounds.”

That would be a considerable leap for a fighter whose most revealing professional result remains his first-round stoppage defeat to David Adeleye in December 2024.

Dacres describes that loss as a “blip,” but it came against the most notable opponent he had faced. Across five years as a professional, he hasn’t built a record of beating contenders that would make a Jalolov knockout seem likely.

His points win against Vladyslav Sirenko also requires context. Sirenko amassed numbers without testing himself against true threats, meaning that victory hardly proves Dacres can deal with Jalolov’s height, reach, and southpaw boxing skills.

“This fight here is beyond English title level, man,” Dacres said. “This is like world level.”

Jalolov deserves criticism for how slowly his professional career has moved and for performances that haven’t matched expectations. His Olympic medals don’t excuse that, and Dacres has an opportunity to make him work.

Expecting Dacres to win because Jalolov underwhelms ignores his own modest punch output. Managing just three stoppages across ten victories, he lacks the firepower to back up big talk.

For Dacres to land the kinds of sustained combinations required to stop someone Jalolov’s size, he has to pin him down. Jalolov does not fight like a traditional, stationary heavyweight slugger. Even when he looks uninspired, he uses lateral footwork, maintains long range with his southpaw lead hand, and angles off before opponents can set their feet.

Dacres lacks both the foot speed to cut off the ring effectively and the explosive one-punch power to make Jalolov cautious. If Dacres tries to force the issue, he’ll put himself at risk of getting caught. Pressing aggressively against a 6’7″ southpaw who excels at firing straight left hands down the pipe is asking for trouble.

Unless Jalolov completely checks out mentally and stands against the ropes to trade, Dacres will be eating long jabs and counters all night, with a Jalolov stoppage being the far more probable outcome.

Atif Oberlton Promises Exciting Future Ahead of Deon Nicholson Match

Atif Oberlton Promises Exciting Future Ahead of Deon Nicholson Match

Undefeated American light heavyweight Atif Oberlton believes there is plenty more to come after rating his last performance seven out of ten as he prepares to face knockout puncher Deon Nicholson on November 7.

Oberlton improved to 17-0 with a shutout decision over Roamer Alexis Angulo in August, but believes he has another level to reach despite winning every round.

Speaking exclusively to World Boxing News, the Philadelphia southpaw reflected on his victory over Angulo and becoming the first fighter to stop Carlos Gongora earlier this year.

“They said Carlos Gongora was going to be a very tough opponent, and he was one of my toughest challenges thus far. He’d never been stopped, and I was able to get the stoppage pretty early on because I locked in and trained the way I needed to.

“Looking back, I’d rate my performance against Angulo maybe a 7 out of 10—I could have definitely done better. But this camp is different mentally. We had a lot of factors going on last time, but I’m entirely focused now,” he told WBN.

The assessment comes as promoter Dmitriy Salita looks to establish Oberlton as America’s leading light heavyweight.

Oberlton Faces Nicholson

Nicholson enters their November 7 contest in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with 19 knockouts from 23 victories and a reputation for dangerous punching power.

The Alabama fighter was previously linked to a showdown with former undisputed champion Artur Beterbiev, making him another significant test for Oberlton.

“Nicholson is a good opponent—a good dance partner. We’re getting closer to the level of opponents that allow for a standout performance because the challenge keeps stepping up. I definitely don’t take him lightly. I respect everyone who gets in the ring and stands in front of me, but I’m going to go out there and do what I trained to do.”

The ten-round bout at Kiva Auditorium will be Oberlton’s fourth appearance of 2026, with Salita Promotions delivering on its promise to keep the unbeaten contender active.

Salita Promotions Keeps Promise

Oberlton says his relationship with Salita has allowed him to build momentum while continuing to work toward a world title opportunity.

“Salita Promotions told me they were going to keep me busy when I signed, and they’ve kept their end of the bargain. I’m keeping mine by going out there, performing, and winning—whether by early stoppage or decision.

“As long as they keep putting people in front of me, I’m going to keep fighting. Every time I step in the ring, I want to perform better than the last time, climb the ladder, and take some hardware home. I’m ready to take some candy.”

Oberlton has already stopped Joseph George and Gongora in 2026 before proving he could dominate over ten rounds against Angulo.

With 14 knockouts in 17 victories, Oberlton has shown he can finish opponents early and control fights over the distance.

Now, with another training camp behind him and a fourth fight of the year approaching, Oberlton believes his best performances are still ahead of him.
