Comments Thread For: Navarrete-Magdaleno: WBO Orders August 11 Purse Bid For Vacant Title Fight

What about the ones who were next in line for it before Navarrete decided to go up a division? Do they have to play second fiddle?

Stay in line and stay ready. This isn't some new protocol created for Navarrete.

Be interesting if this becomes a fighter ABC scenario or fighter C beats A scenario.

Top Rank is making a fight worth people’s time? Pinch me, I must be dreaming.

Interested in seeing Navarette at 126 and how he fares against fighters where he can't impost his will the same way he did at 122. Now, in this fight it may irrelevant as Magdaleno just got to 126 himself. But this should be a fairly competitive fight where Navarette eventually takes over.

Navarrete is fun to watch with his awkward orthodox stance but he gets hit too much for my liking. Needs to work on defense if he's going to withstand the featherweight competition

Because he was the champion in the previous division.

Got it. Wouldn't it make sense though for him to have a couple more fights coming into this new weight class before going for an immediate title? The guy only had one fight with Uriel Lopez

Duly noted. Lets see if Magdaleno can become champion again. I wasn't too keen on his last performance with Vicente and that's before the low blows happened

After those God awful ratings, they needed to or ESPN will no longer have them televise their fights for the remaining of this year. With the return of sports and the very tight schedule they have, it will be interesting to see what the numbers will look like for boxing

No. True champs dare to be great. He is a champion not a prospect.

Fair enough.
