I don't know what Villa's co-trainer is getting on with here. It's clear why Navarette is the favorite. He's a world title holder, is more experienced, has fought better competition and is a bigger puncher. Anything I left out?

Villa is elite? How come?

I am unfamiliar with these boxer so im reading more articles about him. His trainer says he is "elite".

How come someone can easily call anyone elite without beating someone credible, someone with a name or a champ or former?

The guy might be an Olympic alternate or 2 times Amateur Champ but hey this is pro.

Villa according to Boxrec has beaten Shakur Stevenson twice (Also lost to him twice in their 4 fights) Devin Haney, Stephen Fulton, One of Gary Russell's (Gary Antonio Russell) brothers who is 17-0 as a Pro among others in the Amateurs ( I know not as a Pro, but beating those kind of fighters at any level means something), Villa has a very difficult style, I think an upset is very possible.
