Comments Thread For: Emanuel Navarrete Drops Christopher Diaz Four Times, Stoppage in Twelfth of Fire-Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Jake Donovan - Emanuel Navarrete survived a spirited challenge and partisan crowd to extend his second divisional title reign. Christopher 'Pitufo' Diaz showed plenty of fighting heart but was ultimately outgunned by Mexico's Navarrete, who scored a 12th round stoppage to defend his WBO featherweight title Saturday evening at Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Florida. Navarrete scored four knockdowns on the night, the last of which subsequently prompted a stoppage at 2:49 of the 12th and final round in their ESPN-televised main event.

Navarrete-Diaz and Berlanga-Nicholson will air live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT, with undercard action set to stream live and exclusively on ESPN+ at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.

I think Diaz has the slight advantage in hand speed and sharpness but Navarette is more fluid with combinations. Wonder how Diaz is going to deal with Navarette's lunging attacks

[The Big Dunn]

Watch my boy Navarette tonight. Really good matchup for him.

Navrette wins this and let’s see if some of the big names show some guts and step to him.

imo one of the 10 best p4p boxers in the sport right now.

I will say, one thing TR does absolutely right, is televise the ENTIRE show, not a single undercard fight ever not shown, love that they do this. Need Matchroom and PBC to start doing the same
