After Navarrette and Valdez slug it out back 2023 where Navarrette won by a unanimous decision, the two are at it again, even if the fight ended in a unanimous decision win for Navarrette the fight was so excited that many predicted that they will do it again in the future and so they did and they are here again.

The first fight is both entertaining and competitive but I still believe that Navarrette will still emerge as the winner because of his edge in height, reach and skill.

I also think that the result will be the same if Valdez could not cut the distance between him and Navarrete. The latter is so clever that he uses his size advantage over the smaller Valdez ( small in terms of height). But if Valdez could land those heavy bombs early, he could have a chance but i doubt it would happen.

Yes, it might have to end the same, as Navarette is too big for Valdez, so I'm not surprised that he will be knockout again or the match will be one sided. And for me, Valdez though has already reach his prime and could be going down the hill, he has some losses to great boxers and then the wear and tear.

Surprise though that Navarette is still wanting to rematch him after his dominating win, perhaps Navarette is not ready to go up to the next weight class as he lost his fight trying to move up. It make sense though, as I have check the rankings, Valdez is the interim WBO champion while Navarette is the regular champion.

Valdez lost the first fight because he tried to engage in a slugfest with Navarrete who only knows how to come forward and throw a lot of punches. If he can be smarter and fight a more technical fight, it will be a closer fight but we cannot expect an older fighter to change his style overnight. Valdez will probably end up taking too much damage once again and will have to consider retirement if he loses this fight.

Navarrette has the advantage in terms of body posture, he will get big advantage in this fight as before which was really able to suppress Valdez, the distance between the two will never be able to affect Navarrette to be able to corner Valdez.
Only thing that Valdez can do is just keep his distance and try to be able to withstand every attack by Navarrette, besides that Valdez must also try to keep finding gaps so that he can give some incoming punches.
But this will be fight that will again make it difficult for Valdez, some people predict the results of this fight will only be like before where victory remains Navarrette.
For KO victory, it is very unlikely to happen because Valdez himself has very good endurance.

There are small boxers who are good at cutting distance. Valdez is a guy who knows how to cut the distance against tall opponents, but unfortunately, Navarette is one guy who knows how to use his height advantage; he always imposes his height because he uses his jabs to keep the distance, and he is a rapid puncher.

If I remember correctly, he holds the record for most punches thrown in one fight. For Valdez to win this time, he needs to be very aggressive and take a lot of risks because Navarrette will use the same strategy of imposing his height and pouring Valdez a lot of punches.

I predicted the fight would take off where they left off, and they would just along the way. I see Navarrette winning the fight in the same fashion.

Best fighters won't talk that much, and if your recall those remarkable trash talks ended up ruthless in their fight histories and went losing against those silent counter puncher boxers. Much better if they'll show us the actions not only words, because that will prove everything in the ring corner beforehand. The only main thing here is results, we can't rely on their mouths only, our eyes looks for an outcome before final decision happens.

Yes, there are great fighters that don't trash talk like Manny Pacquiao. But this new breed of fighters are different, they can back up their trash talking and it makes the fight more exciting as it is part of the game and also to sell fights.

Valdez is not a trash talker though, same with Navarette, they just love to bang inside the ring and so this could be as engaging as the first couple of rounds until Navarette takes over just like the first time. I haven't check the betting sites but for sure, Navarette will be the favorite again, and Valdez will be like 3:1 underdog, I reckon.
