    You gotta love what Navarette did last night. As the commentators were coronating Dogboe, talking about his royalty status and how God had ordained this night's victory and future victories, a guy like Navarette had the audacity to come in and crash the party. Who the hell does this Navarette think he is?

    Credit to Dogboe for finishing the fight because he was getting pummeled, but I love it when the B side comes in and takes out the A side. You knew it wasn't in the script. But had the judges not given the decision to Navarette there would have been bedlam, that night and in follow up investigations. They wanted to screw Navarette. You could tell by the final tallies on the cards, but they just knew they couldn't get away with it. You can bet there was a lot of internal hand-wringing going on.

    Navarette had the guts and tenacity to go in and take it. Hats off to Navarette! Nice job, champ!

    :lol::lol::lol: Yeah, you wish!
    **** all would have happened. The WBO might have ordered a rematch but I don't think they have done so before.

    Dogboe would have celebrated the win and boxing fans would have hated his guts.

    That fight should have been stopped somewhere in the 10th/11th round. Definitely before the 12th. These fathers just can't give up on their boys. Bad deal for Dogboe. He got beaten pillar to post in the 12th.

    Navarrete is a very limited fighter, with so much heart, iron chin and work rate that would rival Joe Calzaghe, he was relentless, never stopped chasing, he was literally jogging around chasing Dogboe without any hesitation.

    I agree with you. Sustained too much punishment late.

    Navarrete fights in an exciting fun to watch manner and he was definitely better than expected (well, at least better than I had expected).

    Great upset. I'm a little upset that Danny won't get the win over Dogboe now since I believe he would have gotten far more credit than a win over Navarrete. If Navarrete gets a win over Vargas or Magadeleno that's a different story though.

    Navarrete before the Dogboe fight i watched a good few fights on youtube & he's not that limited fighter,he moves awkward with a great engine.I'm pleased i took the time out to watch Navarrete he take some beating & could hold his belt for some time.Heads up to Nonito Smoak/lewis gassed on picking Navarrete.

    Navarette must have power. He did a lot of damage to Dogboe's face. You don't do that with pitty pat blows.

    Yup them long arms of his do damage,what got me is the way he moves when punches are coming @ him,Navarette does not get hit as much as you'd think.

    WTF are you talking about ?

    Are you claiming to be psychic?

    Last nights judging was the best I've seen in a long time.

    The Loma sores were spot-on and I had the Navarette fight 116-112, same as two of the judges. The other was one round different.

    How were they trying to screw him ?
