Comments Thread For: Emanuel Navarrete Batters The Face of Oscar Valdez, Wins Decision in Mexican War

[Oldskoolg]

The fight was alright, good action, but not a memorable one people will look back on like ward-Gatti, morales-Barrera, carbajal-Gonzales etc.

[real raw]

Navarrete would destroy Shakur

Shakur is totally overrated, Navarrete is other beast.

That's not happening.

[boxingitis]

And why Navarrete have to jump to 135 when he only has 2 fights in his new weight?

Navarrete need to stay in 130 and train hard and be more strong.

Because he ain't scared. Big money for and his family. He is a real Mexican, not a duck. He struggled already with 130, plus he already 29, it's now or never.

Shakur would box Vaquero's ear's in, Vaquero's a step or two, maybe even three slower than Shakur. He just wouldn't be able to keep up with Shakur period!

Shakur can't kill a fly with those pity pat punches. Shakur has nothing special. Extend his jab to keep a shorter man at distance. He won't be able to that to Vaquero. Navarette has the reach advantage, power advantage, akward movement, akward punch angles, he is tougher, switches stance. Shakur is flat footed, watch the Valdez fight. Valdez was dumb enough to stay in front of Shakur, not Navarette.

I don't smoke or drink. I scored the fight closer than the judges did.

Then maybe you should. Even the true Valdez fans who know boxing would give him 3-4 rounds max. And that's not even looking at his face.

tough fight for sure, but to call shakur flat footed means you've never seen his early fights, he was like a cat. only lately has he started sitting down on his punches. he's not going to stand right in front of navarette. stevenson by decision

Only way to know is to make it happen. Navarette will chase him and catch in with that long reach and on top of that he leans in.

Navarrete would destroy Shakur in 130.

Shakur is overrated in a crazy form.

But 135 is too high for Emanuel.

He need to stay in 130 and be undisputed.

Stop it, dude almost got taken out by C level Liam Wilson. Navarette wouldn’t win a single round against SS at 130 or 135.

Stevenson started at featherweight & moved up to lightweight, let’s see if Navarette can do the same thing.

Oh, (you made) a joke. Un laughable.

I've been watching boxing for years. How a face looks has nothing to do with who wins or loses. The scorecards were a joke. One judge basically scored it a shut out. There was one round where Navarette hurt his right, and barely threw his left (he surely didn't throw the right). There's no way he won that round. He loss others too. Did Navarette beat Vargas up? Yes, he did. But boxing is scored on a 10 point must system. Some of those rounds went to Vargas. The only scorecard that seemed reasonable was 116-112.

Then you"ve been watching it all wrong! Just look at the stats. ( oh right, stats don't coun't because you gotta score each round... )
