I need a source for that.

Honestly sounds like the tank-froid Loma drama

Look it up. It's true. Navarette was going to walk if Arum made the fight.

I spoke with his trainer Manny Robles..

the weight cut was not the cause of his issues.. dude caught COVID numerous times, it affected his body.

I swear being in a hot sweaty boxing gym all the time gets me sick. Ive gotten covid at least 4xs i know about and I always think its from the gym. People dont realize how covid hits your immune system.

For all we know he was on steroids at the time. Also berchalts been knocked out before so it's nothing new. He was also knocked out in his following fight so big deal lmao

That was a great win bro

[boxingitis]

Shakur and Haney haven't been hospitalized trying to make weight! For your information, Shakur has already moved up TWICE, and he's won titles at 126 and 130! Vergil and Shakur are both 25, Shakur working on his 3rd title, in his 3rd weight class! Vergil still working on his first! LEVELS!

You are comapring the 126 and 130 division to the 147 division. Navarette has accomplish more than Stevenson, 3 division champ. So per your comparisons that makes Navarette better than Shakur.

Lmfao a mediocre drug cheat? Not impressed

That's the Hilario thing you guys fail to see. That's literally the best name on his resume which is why it's trash

Exactly.. beat Jamel Herring and is pumping his weight bully chest out LOL

LOL! Golden Boy ain’t going nowhere. Like him or not Oscar has proven what few promotional companies ever done and that’s built PPV’s stars. I mean dude made a 19 yrs old Ginger kid out of Mexico into the face of boxing even after getting embarrassed by Mayweather. Not just that but Oscar just made an IG star in Garcia into the highest grossing PPV fighter in recent history, LOL. Hate all you want but with Vergil, Zepeda, Schofield, Munguia, Ryan on board they got plenty of fighters to survive another decade

Gang gang since potty train!!!

GBP is the best at developing fighters consistently into stars..

Valdez always been a bum. Got saved against Lopez and a gift against concencio. A mediocre drug cheat.

How did navarette duck him if they're not even in the same weight class? Lmfao

The only one that ducked him is Cruz. Haymon don't want stanks resume to look bad. Look how that worked out the past weekend with rolly

Notice the timing of Navarrette going to 130! He waited until Shakur left, now he wants to fight Valdez! He didn't want no smoke!

Shakur Stevenson Says Emanuel Navarrete “Priced Himself Out”
06/09/2022 - By Tim Compton

Shakur Stevenson says Emanuel Navarrete priced himself out for a fight against him on September 23rd. WBC/WBO super featherweight champion Stevenson (18-0, 9 KOs) says Navarrete ultimately didn’t want the fight.

On Wednesday, ESPN’s Salvado Sanchez reported the news of the Stevenson vs. Navarrete negotiations. However, on Thursday, he revealed that the talks had collapsed and Navarrete had already decided on fighting another opponent in a voluntary defense of his WBO 126-lb strap.

Instead of Navarrete fighting Shakur and potentially losing, he’s going to be defending his WBO featherweight title against #9 Eduardo Baez (21-2-2, 7 KOs) on August 20th. Baez isn’t exactly a household name, but he’s perfect for Navarrete.

It’s not surprising that the former two-division world champion Navarrete (35-1, 29 KOs) didn’t take the match with Shakur because he hasn’t been fighting cutting-edge opposition since his two contests with Isaac Dogboe three years ago.

Since those two fights, Navarrete has been taking it easy, facing fighters like Uriel Lopez, Joet Gonzalez, Christopher Diaz, and Francisco Horta. In other words, easy money fights for Navarrete against opposition that wasn’t a threat to beating him...

One of these days, Navarrete will move up to 130 after he can no longer make weight at 126, but by then, Shakur will likely have already moved up to 135 to go after the big money fights against Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, Devin Haney, and Ryan Garcia.

That’ll be convenient for Navarrete because he doesn’t match up well at all with Stevenson on paper. Navarrete would be a weaker version of Jeremiah Nakathilia and would be too easy for Stevenson.

To be honest, 13 - 18 pounds rehydration isn't a lot these days. We got some lightweights north of 155. I'm guessing, if that is the problem, he's rehydrating more than 20.

He could be? I don't know, however I think the risk of of staying @ 147 outweighs the reward! He could fight Spence and Boots @ 154! Plenty of good talent @ 154!

You are comapring the 126 and 130 division to the 147 division. Navarette has accomplish more than Stevenson, 3 division champ. So per your comparisons that makes Navarette better than Shakur.

However, Navarrette is SCARED of Shakur Stevenson! He didn't want smoke, and he waited until Shakur moved up then he went to 130! Navarrette wants Valdez, but he wants no parts of Shakur! Never has, and never will!

Navarette has beaten similar opponents of Shakur worst than Shakur has. If Navarette beats Valdez, Shakur is the logical fight to make.

So you wanted Navarette to move up in weight so Shakur wouldn't make weight at 130.
Remember he didn't make weigt Robson Concencio.
