Navarrete is getting more and more less interesting. It's like he's richer than the land lord, but still lives in a crappy apartment. He's wearing out his greatest hits, Dogboe is dwindling in the mind. If he doesn't take a challenge soon, I suspect it's fear on his part, or his team.

This is a bad match up. González doesn’t cut off the ring well which we saw in the Stevenson fight and is going to walk straight into Navarrete’s punches not being able to figure out how to overcome his awkward combinations he likes to throw. Honestly, I’m starting to think Top Rank doesn’t have anybody that’s good enough to beat Navarrete at least not in the featherweight division which is starting to get boring with this network.

I agree totally with Corelone. Navarette has done nothing since Dogboe and nothing at featherweight. I've pretty much lost interest in him. Russell does nothing either, so 126 is a waste of a division.

[Corelone]

They will fight him for peanuts, but steady money, as long as they can, until the things we want to see are old and tired and useless. Then they'll feed him to the sharks.

Will they have to pass drug tests to fight?

Emanuel Navarrete, will have to work hard to decisively beat or stop Joet Gonzalez ; Shakur Stevenson is the only champion that beat prime Gonzalez -- I dont think the kid has ever been down. After Joet Gonzalez, the WBO has the hot prospect Mark Magsayo who is probably the leading 2021 KOTY vs. Julio Ceja on deck. Line them up.

My boy Navarette is going to get another win in dominating fashion. This guy isn’t as weak as some other posters think.

Hope this is the start of a build toward navarette getting the winner of Stevenson/Valdez. Although I think Bob will not do it.

Um, no. 12 fight Shakur handled brother in law with velvet gloves. Marriaga was a nice comeback, but he's been used and abused. Nothing in Joets resume says, he will sell out a stadium. Magsayo has more appeal, I'm not saying he's better, but he hasn't been toyed with.

The 'Cowboy' must avenge Ceja and Mexico vs. Mark Magsayo, I think thats where this is headed. I'm expecting Emanuel Navarrete to beat Joet Gonzalez, but I think it will be a fun fight with elements of the sweet-science, some bruising, cuts and maybe knockdowns -- I'm in.
