    Seems like it’s only a matter of time until these two meet in the ring. This is a guarantee war for sure. Any thoughts on this match up and who do you have winning here?

    Nunez, he was clearly having an off night last night, and Pitufo Diaz is one of the more underrated fighters at 130. So struggling with this much stronger revitalized version is nothing to be ashamed of. He gave Navarrete hell, and rocked him several times as well, he got robbed against both Dogboe and Lebron, both of whom he outworked. Sure he lost to the long distance runner Shakur, but so what. Ito was too long and a nightmare style, and he's clearly improved since then. So I highly doubt Vaquero could take the kind of punishment and all out hell Sugar Nunez is bringing with him.

    I think Emanuel Navarrete has had a lot of trouble defending his world title lately and he's declining a bit.

    130 lbs is very exciting I can't wait to see the rematch between Charly Suarez and Emanuel Navarrete.

    Nunez no doubt; he will pound Navarrete's body like yesterdays beef

    Hard to say... Draw or MD for Eduardo Nunez


    It would be crazy if Emmanuel Navarrete retained his belt by luck again with a TD or something; he's been declining a lot lately and his title defenses have been quite controversial. On the other hand, Eduardo Nunez took a lot of powerfuls shots in his last fight; he won't be champion for long after two bigs wars during his reign.


    Nevertheless, Navarrete has more courage than Anthony Cacace, who gave up his IBF belt to avoid facing the winner between Masanori Rikiishi and Eduardo Nunez. But on the other hand Navarrete accepted the fight after the big war of Nunez against Velez (that Navarrete beat also). So maybe it's a strategy by Navarrete we can't knows, Nunez is a bit similar in style with Oscar Valdez he is a brawler and that's a perfect style for Navarrete.

    And then after the Eduardo Nunez & Navarrete fight the next challenger will be the very good Charly Suarez he is old but he is a terror in this category as Zhilei Zhang was in the heavyweight division.

    It's confirmed that Charly Suarez accepted that to be patient with a contract and will be against the winner of this fight for two belts IBF and WBO and maybe The Ring Belt also after?

    Fight is tomorrow and I'm shocked that there's not much excitement about it here. This has the potential to be a FOTY candidate. Will be watching this live at the Desert Diamond Arena. Should be a good one.

    idk why but I have this sneaking suspicion that Navarrete has that one big performance left in him and that he’s gonna beat Nunez and beat him fairly clearer. Nunez is the sensible pick since he’s younger, fresher, and probably a bigger puncher, but I can’t help but feel like Vaquero is just a bad style for him somehow.

    Vaquero is likely more worn down from all those wars he's been through and that can play a factor against Nunez. Navarrete practically lost his last fight and was fortunate for it to be ruled a NC. I'm certain that Nunez can finish where Suarez left off.
