A very awkward brawler but not without his flaws that I think Nunez can exploit. Not saying Navarrete can't win but I think Nunez has a better shot at coming out victorious. We'll see how Navarrete reacts to Nunez's pressure and power. Hoping to see an all out slugfest.
Besides the Gonzalez and Wilson fights, Navarrete hasn't been in that many difficult fights. His laziness has been a bigger hinderence than anything else. He looks very motivated for this fight, and I think he will get the job done. My main concern is that Nunez is a Hearn fighter and the fight will be on DAZN.
I recall Navarrete having a tough bout with Robson Conceicao. The first Valdez fight and Chrisopher Diaz were also pretty punishing as well. And then you also have the Suarez fight where he got pretty busted up. I just think Navarrete has taken more damage with the kind of style he has throughout his career thus far compared to Nunez. Hopefully he still has more in the tank left to still hold his ground against the fresher Nunez.
Well damn you called it. Props to Vaquero for proving me wrong and showing his dominance. It was a wild experience seeing this fight in person. Crowd absolutely enjoyed it.
I think that Navarrete will bully him around, use his strength and tricky timing to keep Nunez docile and stop him around the 10th.
A great performance by Navarrete, who boxed really well at both short and medium range, turning a blind eye to the courageous Nunez. It was a entertainment fight . In the sottoclue I think the decision for Ramos over Smalls was fair. However I was perplexed by the referee's stoppage in Quintana - Vargas.
