Emanuel Navarrete Martínez vs. Rubén Villa IV & Zhanibek Alimkhanuly vs. Gonzalo Gastón Coria RBR

Yes, generally.

 

Round 2

Navarrete is using the Dempsey/Golovkin shift, alternating between orthodox and southpaw while marching Villa down, extending jabs over the head and then scrubbing his neck with straight rear hand power lunges. Villa is barely able to pop off a couple of right jabs while gliding in retreat, putting most of his energies into defensive movement and picking off what he can, trying not to absorb too much with his feet squared given the obvious physical strength advantage of Navarrete.

10-9 Navarrete

20-17 Navarrete

 

Round 3

Navarrete is walking into some pinpoint counter right jabs from Villa, now up on his toes and getting into a rhythm. Good job making the adjustment here and denying Navarrete the proper range for his power shots, either dancing beyond reach or skittering inside and zapping Navarrete with quick jabs between his eyes before slouching over to his side and slinking outside again. Villa boxing quite beautifully here, playing matador and scoring while not really getting hit in return. Navarrete loading up on shot-put rights, churning the air. Villa is able to catch a wayward Navarrete overhand right on his inner wrist, smacking it down just inches from his chin.

10-9 Villa

29-27 Navarrete
