Good to see Sparrow back on against another prospect. I thought he did much better against Nova than the judges gave him credit for and don't rate either Adorno brother very highly.

Will also be interesting to see how Navarrete handles Villa's footwork and how Ruben deals with his opponent's power.

rare case when a guy ranked top 15 by all 4 sanctioning bodies - 9th by WBC, 15th by WBA, 11 by IBF and 4th by WBO

As long as Sparrow makes the card, I’ll live. He’s missed two big opportunities over the past 6 months and it’s time for action. He’s gotta stay active and leave that street stuff alone. Can’t wait

And I’ve seen Ruben Villa fight a few times on Showbox and he’s a solid contender; n the same breath, I just don’t see what he has for Navarrete this early in his career. Who knows though...maybe a solid basic fighter with decent defense, a chin and who works behind the jab may give Navarrete a rough night.
