Hopefully navarrete will do the same to Foster and take his WBC belt!

Congratz Vaquero!

The writing looked on the wall for a few rounds anyway

As soon as the fifth round was finished, the fight felt 'over'. Valdez seemed to abandon the strategic adjustments that he made, and he reverted back to old habits that got his face ruined in the first fight.

[MulaKO]

...especially against short-armed sluggers like Dogboe and Valdez. He just picks them apart with his long-range combination punching.

It’s crazy but admiring

He found his limit at 135 because his reach advantage gets nullified up there. He needs to stay at 130.

Yeah I agree with that
Hoping he doesn’t kill himself making weight
Did you think he looked pudgy ???
I thought it was typical Navarrete

[Mexican_Puppet]

Navarrete can throw efficiently at any range, at any angle. He is awkward to handle with those long arms.

Doesn't help that his defense is also a bit underrated, he does make sure to not get caught when he can.

Navarrete is wild but he has solid skills and good head movement and bending.

He needs to fight in 130, thats his límit.

Good career, 3 division champ, very fun to watch.

He has experience.

He fought against 4 amateur stars, Valdés, dogboe, conceicao and the ucranian guy.

Those fights were very hard fights for the amateurs.

His style is proven in the elite.

[MulaKO]

But that shovelcut is sneaky as fugh

[Mexican_Puppet]

He found his limit at 135 because his reach advantage gets nullified up there. He needs to stay at 130.

And more importante: his power.

His power in 130 is very dangerous.

And he was a 122 champ, more of 135 can fight easily in 140 and dome guys in 147.

Navarrete i think he can clean the 130.

Good career, 3 division champ, very fun to watch.

His last two less than impressive fights prior to this made me wonder if the luster was starting to peel off, but tonight certainly renewed some excitement.

Knowing his strength and limitations now and likely not going to attempt a 4th division, hopefully he goes for unifications now.
