Speaking to his YouTube channel<\/a> ahead of the showdown, two-weight world champion Bradley began by breaking down the contest.<\/p>\n\u201cFoster has got his hands full. Navarrete is one of those fighters that has always defied the odds. He\u2019s always done it his way. His way has always been good enough. I think this fight is extremely dangerous for both. Foster definitely has the tools to beat Navarrete and Navarrete has the tools to beat Foster.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Foster has to be perfect, I do. From my experience in calling Navarrete fights and speaking to fighters that have fought him, every fighter has said the same thing. It didn\u2019t matter what weight it was or when they fought, every single fighter has said they have never ever in all their years been hit as hard as Navarrete hit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite acknowledging the threat that Navarrete possesses, Bradley revealed he is tipping Foster to come out on top.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy prediction is I\u2019m going with Foster. He\u2019s going to show why he\u2019s pound-for-pound. He is focused now. In the past when he suffered a couple of losses, things weren\u2019t aligned.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow he\u2019s got the promotional team, his actual team where he trains with, he\u2019s got that now. He\u2019s got money to pay for the best sparring partners, the best treatment, the best therapy, he has all that now.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has fought experienced guys. Guys where he wasn\u2019t the favourite to win. I got him winning this fight but it\u2019s going to be a damn good fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whoever gets their hand raised in this evening\u2019s fight may look to then target an undisputed showdown with the winner of December\u2019s WBA title clash between Anthony Cacace and Nick Ball, with Cacace having claimed the belt with a victory over Jazza Dickens.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tim Bradley has named his winner for this evening\u2019s O\u2019Shaquie Foster vs Emanuel Navarrete unification battle.
