Stevenson vs. Gonzalez Fight Preview

RENO, Nev. -- It will be a battle of unbeaten contenders on Oct. 26 on ESPN+. Former Olympian and silver medal winner Shakur Stevenson will take on Joet Gonzalez for a vacant WBO featherweight title. To make things more interesting - at least for those who love some good celebrity gossip - Stevenson is dating the sister of Gonzalez and for his part, Gonzalez isn't too pleased about it. Despite the love life drama it will also be a huge fight for both men because it marks the first title shot for both. Stevenson, moments after stopping Alberto Guevara When Stevenson (12-0, 7 KOs) first turned pro there were people who didn't think he'd develop enough power or adjust well enough to the pro style.

That fight, like many of Navarrete's fights, ended in a knockout victory for the Mexican native. Navarrete is very tall for the junior featherweight division and also has a tremendous reach advantage on most of his opponents. That height and reach advantage allows him to fight well from the outside with his jab. Following that jab is a powerful...

Now boxing fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the two will meet on Oct. 26 on DAZN. Not only will Prograis and Taylor be putting their perfect records on the line but the fight will also be a junior welterweight unification.

The 30-year-old is a beautiful mix of boxing skills and power, making him a tough out for anyone. With his quick hands Prograis works behind a clean jab and he possesses power in both hands capable of knocking opponents out. Prograis always seems to be in the proper position an...
