    Hoping he doesn’t kill himself making weight
    Did you think he looked pudgy ???
    I thought it was typical Navarrete
    It's hard to reach any conclusions about his conditioning because his physique typically looks like it did tonight. What I will say is that he'll need to be tip-top condition to beat Espinoza.

      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.
      130 in general has been lacking in unifications for so long, they certainly can use some top dog guy to run it.

        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.
        I agree, it's not only that his reach is less of a advtange at 135 but his gas tank (work rate) is not the same if he isn't performing at his optimal weight.

        Plus Top Rank holds most of the top super Featherweight contenders.

          Well not sure if you saw his post fight interview
          He just stated he’ll be moving up after his next two fights

              O'Shaquie "Shock" Foster vs Emmanuel "Vaquero" Navarrete probably is the biggest fight at 130 as of now.

              Navarrete is difficult to box through the whole bout seen as he has caught stylists like Coincecao and Berinchyk with some big shots. So this will likely would be an exciting bout, whoever wins or losses.

                I think his awkwardness wins him that fight
                Foster seems to get distracted easily
                Conceicao is awkward and he had problems
                Nova who I find awkward also and he had problems

                  His single-punch power appears to be above average for his division, but his stoppages normally occur due to his suffocating pace. What makes him elite is his combo punching and stamina. Some fighters are better equipped to challenge him, but many others will have an uphill battle. Assuming he moves up, I think Espinoza will be Nava's most formidable opponent. A guy like Foster will have issues vs. Nava because he doesn't throw enough, but he does have the reach to make it interesting.
