Navarrete beats Suarez on technical decision to keep title
WBO super-featherweight champion Emanuel Navarrete kept his crown with a technical decision victory over previously unbeaten Filipino fighter Charly Suarez (Ethan Miller)
Mexico's Emanuel Navarrete kept his World Boxing Organization super-featherweight world title on Saturday with a seven-round technical decision over previously unbeaten Filipino fighter Charly Suarez in San Diego.
The fight was halted after seven rounds with Navarrete bleeding from a cut over his left eye caused by an accidental clash of heads in the sixth round.

The outcome was then decided by the scorecards at the time of the stoppage with all three having Navarrete ahead -- 77-76, 77-76 and 78-75.
The 30-year-old Mexican improved to 40-2 with one draw as he defended his crown for the fourth time.
Navarrete had missed the 130-pound weight limit in his first try at the scales but was inside the limit two hours later at a final weigh-in.
Suarez, seeking his first world title at the age of 36, fell to 18-1.
Suarez was stunned by an accidental clash of heads late in round four.
Another clash of heads in the sixth opened a deep gash above Navarrete's left eye, gushing blood impacting his vision and causing the early stoppage in the bout scheduled for 12 rounds.

Former Florida Star Makes Web Gem Worthy Play
Former Florida Star Makes Web Gem Worthy Play originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Florida Gators star Jac Caglianone is known for his light-tower power. A six-foot-five, 250-pound first baseman, Caglianone slugged a jaw-dropping .875 in his final year at Florida, launching 35 home runs in 66 games. Advertisement Caglianone also earned a reputation as a hard-throwing lefty, striking out 170 batters in 148.1 innings from 2023 to 2024. What Caglianone didn't do, which isn't much, is track down line drives and rob home runs in the outfield. Florida Gators first baseman Jac CaglianoneSteven Branscombe-Imagn Images On Sunday, the 22-year-old did just that, as the Kansas City Royals organization has been using him as a corner outfielder to fast-track his development and get his bat into the lineup at the major league level. In a 2-2 tie against the San Diego Padres, Kansas City relief pitcher Lucas Erceg was facing a two-on, one-out eighth-inning situation against the heart of the opposing team's order. Erceg hung a changeup to star San Diego outfielder Jackson Merrill, with the budding All-Star launching a high fly ball to deep right field. Advertisement Caglianone, with just 24 games of action in right field since his time with the Florida Gators, tracked the ball to the wall, making a leap and using all of his six-foot-five frame to bring the ball back into play with a stunning game-saving play. Caglianone's heroics kept the game tied, but San Diego would eventually hit a walk-off ground ball in the bottom of the ninth after blanking Kansas City in the top of the frame. Caglianone flashed the leather but went hitless in four at-bats, with his batting average dipping to .203 across 17 games. Caglianone is just 1-for-9 in his last nine games but was hitting .322 with a .982 OPS across two levels in the minor leagues before his call-up.
