Makes me wonder about fighters with style like Rios. Are they only effective when they're moving forward? He doesn't have to, right? Like letting Navarro come to him. Are such fighters one-dimensional, they can't fight without moving forward?Comment

Perez has won like 7 or 8 straight fights, was in WBO top 5 rankings and beat WBO #2 Charles Conwell in his last fight and took his spot. Again the belt is vacant, so he got the fight.
should #3 Josh Kelly have got the fight?Comment

Navarro will really learn from this fight to not overly on his physical advantages and to tighten up his defense.
Likely his first fight where he ever fought an opponent that is too durable and quite heavier handed than he is in Rios.Comment

Santana is one of the upcoming best prospects at Featherweight, but surprised how different Alameda looked in the 2nd round in contrast to the first.
Santana still won the 2nd, but didn't think the experience difference would allowed him to make immediate adjustments.Last edited by Malvado; 07-26-2025, 06:14 PM.Comment
