A fighting cowboy, a hometown hero, and the grandson of "The Greatest" are set for a summer night to remember in San Diego. Mexican star Emanuel "Vaquero" Navarrete will defend his WBO featherweight world title in the main event against countryman Eduardo "El Gemelo" Baez on Saturday, Aug. 20 at Pechanga Arena San Diego.

It makes me cringe whenever I see a 17-0 type fighter going against a 16-5 fighter.......and then you get fights like this and it makes you salivate! >>> Lindolfo Delgado (15-0, 13 KOs) vs Omar Aguilar (24-0, 23 KOs). RESPECT to both guys for fighting each other!!

My boy Navarette is back. Can’t wait to watch him smoke this dude. Solid fight.

Of course I’m not watching until Walsh is off. It nauseating having to have him forced down our throats.

I'm surprised there aren't more cards in San Diego. With how close it is to Mexico and how nice the city is and the facilities they have, it should be easily one of the top spots for boxing

Boring! This dude just wont challenge himself..he'd be the favorite against most fighters in his weight class. Idk why arum wont take off his training wheels.

Seriously? Baez? Who's somewhat durable but stoppable in the mid rounds. This is inexcusable for Navarrete. He's had enough soft opponents and should be fighting for a unification

Top Rank cards, baby. Nothing but the best.

Giving PBC's random crap cards a run for their money.

Beautiful city indeed. Used to pass through it on the way to Baja when I was stationed in the high desert. Eventually stopped going to Mexico and spent my days off in San Diego and San Ysidro. Great metro area

"Sand Diego" Translate to a whale's vag1na?

Do not understand why Delgado v Aguilar is buried on the undercard on streaming ESPN+. These are two of Mexico’s most talented and unbeaten prospects. Why fight each other now? Both of these fighters are boxer punchers with good defense and ring craftsmanship. I like Navarrete, but Ali and Santillan don’t have the potential to world champs like Delgado and Aguilar. I am disappointed that Top Rank would waste one of these talents by fighting each other now.
