David Navarro’s comeback from a surprising loss two years ago continued in successful fashion Friday night.

The featherweight from Hemet, California won his fourth fight in a row by defeating D’Angelo Fuentes unanimously on points in their six-rounder in Atlanta. DAZN streamed Navarro’s victory as part of the Albert Bell-Presco Carcosia undercard at OTE Arena.

Navarro (6-1, 3 KOs) mostly controlled the action, threw a lot of punches, landed various head and body shots and convincingly won their fight on all three scorecards. Judges Richard Sells (60-54) and Carl Williams (60-54) scored it a shutout for Navarro, who won four rounds according to judge Trae Webb (58-56).

Four fights earlier, a cut caused the highly touted Navarro to lose by sixth-round technical knockout to Mexican journeyman Diuhl Olguin (then 14-16-4) in March 2021. Navarro was winning that bout on all three scorecards at the time of the stoppage (50-45, 50-45, 49-46).

Fuentes (8-2, 5 KOs), of Coconut Creek, Florida, has lost two of his last three fights.
