[Boxing]: Oscar Valdez vs Emmanuel Navarette - Aug 12

[Baofeng]

I haven't seen a discussion about this fight, so here it goes. This are two Mexican warriors so I expect that this is a great war.

The last fight of Navarette, we thought that we will see a upset, he was knock down by Liam Wilson. But he evetually got off the canvass and win the war and won the belt. We all know that Shakur beat the hell of out of Oscar Valdez, but he did make a comeback. So he is a hunt for another belt.

Valdez is a slight advantage as per sport bookies at 1.5x, Navaratte, at 2.2x. For sure we will be treated by another great fight, and maybe it could go down as a version of Morales vs Barrera

I love to see Navarette fight in the ring his two matches against Dogboe is very satisfying to watch for a boxing enthusiast like me, he always comes to fight he gives it all in all his matches, and with Valdez it's going to be one hell of a fight, as stated by Navarette this is going to be

a fight against him could possibly be the start of a new Mexico vs. Mexico rivalry like the one between Barrera and Morales."

It's been a long time since we've seen a rivalry like Barrera and Morales so this could be a potential fight I'm sure it's going to be action-packed and if its close there could be a rematch, I have Navarette winning here by decision

[Kemarit]

Yeah, Mexican vs Mexican, there will be some blood in the ring for sure.

I think this is Valdez best weight though, that jump against Shakur really shows how small Valdez though against Stevenson and you can see the big difference. But you have to give credit to Oscar for showing in that fight.

As for Navarette, he was exposed in the last fight, maybe he was too confident against Wilson and it's a wake up call for him.

Key difference here will be the stamina as this could be a volume match, so if in the middle of the rounds Navarette gets tired, then I see Oscar taking over the fight.

It seems that this fight is very hard to predict though. Both are Mexicans and as the OP said, if this fight became a war in and very difficult to judge and there could be a controversy, then a rematch and trilogy is needed to even settle the score.

So right now, I can't see who is going to win, Valdez is already back on track, while although Navarette have taste the canvass for the first time against Wilson, doesn't mean at least for me that he has been exposed already. Just one of those fights that you don't see the punches coming and you are caught off guard. Although Valdez is the odds favorite, it might be good to throw money on Navarette, or even a draw.

It's a tough match for Navarette since people are still think Valdez is still a beast in super featherweight division, this would affect the judges.

But Navarette recent fights were good, he mostly won via KO and won via decision when he fought the tough one, similar like Valdez. But Valdez was lose against Shakur, it doesn't look good compared to Navarette which only lose during his early days in professional fight.

I think Navarette wouldn't able to KO Valdez, but he can still able to win via decision.

[robelneo]

Both fighters are known to never step back, and love to engage it will go down on who wants it the most. they have the same style since this is an all-Mexican fight this has the making of a classic fight I hope they can give us the fight and the rivalry like the Morales - Barrera match, and this becomes a trilogy in the tradition of the two great Mexicans.
I'll go for Navarette I love his aggressiveness and his attitude inside the ring, boxing fans will always get what they paid for every time they see Navarette in action.

[Botnake]

When two Mexican fighters face each other, it often leads to highly entertaining fights. Therefore, I have high expectations that this upcoming match will not disappoint the fans, whether they are watching at the venue or through pay-per-view (PPV) if available. Currently, Valdez is considered the slight favorite, but Emanuel Navarrete's record is also quite impressive, boasting 37 wins, 31 of which were by knockout.

Valdez is a slight advantage as per sport bookies at 1.5x, Navaratte, at 2.2x. For sure we will be treated by another great fight, and maybe it could go down as a version of Morales vs Barrera

Good odds and maybe they put Valdez as the favorite because he was the heavy puncher and if that knockdown to Navarette was initiated by Valdez, he would have not gotten up but in boxing styles makes a fight so big chance that Navarette would copy the template that was being used by Shakur to beat Oscar.

Good that Oscar Valdez has already recovered from his lose to Shakur and with this fight, I think he is the one that really needed the win to bring his career on the right track.

It's extremely crucial for him to bounce back strongly and secure a win in his upcoming fight. His loss to Shakur was undoubtedly embarrassing, as he seemed outsmarted and resembled a punching bag. However, he should leave that behind and concentrate on his next bout. Just like Canelo, who experienced a loss against Mayweather but he came back strong and now has become a very popular boxer.

He really needs this win and it should be impressive but it's going to be very tough, Navarette always comes to fight, and both fighters are hard puncher and love to slug it out this is a fight where no one will back up I don't expect the fight to end in a decision, one of them is going to get hit and one of them is going down, I think Valdez will be the one to collect the win, it's a hard fight to judge I'm exciting to see the press conference between these two great Mexican fighters.

[Sim_card]

These are two great boxers with their own boxing tactics and skills. I love to watch Valdez fight as he is a boxer that never gets tired and don't accept defeat easily. The booker gave Valdez more advantage of winning this fight and I wouldn't doubt Valdez strength and skills. It wouldn't be an easy fight and I look forward to see if this fight will go down like that of Morales vs Barrera. Mexicans are very good boxers and this fight is between two boxers from the same country.

Valdez may have been dominant before his loss to Shakur, but now that he's not undefeated, it's likely that his confidence has been affected. Navarrete may be considered the underdog in this fight, but I believe he has the capability to win. He just needs to execute the right strategy, perhaps even replicating what Shakur did if possible. However, if Navarrete prefers to fight toe to toe, it could still be entertaining for the crowd, even though the advantage may not be in his favor.

[Yamifoud]

This fight is not going to end via decision; it's going to end by KO, and either boxer could win. I'm excited to see this fight. This is the kind of fight I've been looking for, where both boxers are willing to give their all in the ring. While we haven't seen the fight yet, considering the quality of both boxers, I believe they will fight until the end, which is why I think it's likely to end in a KO.

You're right there, And it looks like I can see that the chance for navarette to subdue the opponent for just a few minutes is quite high because his body when he fights is like steel as if he doesn't feel pain.
And his fist when he hits the opponent is for sure as if his opponent has received an iron hit, that's what I foresee will happen like the opponents he knocked down before. So that's a pretty good fight and it's exciting to be honest.

This is likely to be the scenario in this fight, this two are going to want to knock each other out so this could turn into a ugly war and maybe we will see some blood here. The thing with Oscar Valdez is that he usually bleed specially in his face.

And Navarette is like an old school Mexican warrior that we have seen in the past. He will throw everything with vicious intent to knockout his opponents. And again, there might be no technique in him, just pure power so Valdez will have to respond as well so it might not go to the judges scorecard.

It's not that they feel pain, obviously this is a sport that you want to hurt your opponent, so you should have a lot of pain tolerance and not feel the pain itself. So it's more on the psychological, not physical pain.

So with that, I do agree with what others have stated, two Mexicans are entertaining to watch and will not disappoint their fans or even those who might see them for the first time. Valdez is the favorite because he is more of a technical fighter and the quality of his opponents that he face in the past. On the other have, Navarette is making a name of himself as a Mexican, just pure brawler that we love to see.

[Jating]

^^ That will be the big difference in this fight, there style, Valdez = technical fighter, Navarette = Brawler that's why I said it's very difficult to predict. But I'm thinking if Navarette will the brawler like Miguel Berchelt, with whom Valdez KO in the fight and then winning the KO of the year, then this might end up in favor of Valdez though.

He will just time when Navarette comes in, and then his left hook will be ready for that. Or his jab are going to be significant here so that Navarette can't come inside and to throw him off balance.

Mexicans are very good boxers and this fight is between two boxers from the same country.

Both of them are great fighters and still in the prime of their careers. We will have to see, the rivalry between Morales vs Barrera is different though, I mean it seems to be personal for those two Mexicans as they are brought up differently, with different background and that's why the rivalry is really that great.

As compare to Valdez who resides in Arizona, or in the US while Navarette lives in Mexico.

But if I'm going to bet on this fight, I might go with Oscar Valdez as more of a polish boxer as compare to Navaratte who just loves to throw a lot of bombs and it might cause him problems later in the round as he will get tired not hitting a mobile target in Oscar.

That kind of strategy would work on Valdez because Navarrete loves to attack and doesn't play defense well. Against Shakur, Valdez really suffered big time because the latter is also a technical fighter, but simply way above his level. Now it's time for Valdez to bounce back after that big loss, and hopefully, he will have an impressive fight. Overall, I'm expecting a very entertaining fight that won't end in the early rounds.

Shakur is on the different level, and it was Valdez who is going up in weight at 135 lbs and he looks too small that that weight class. And as you have said, Shakur is very sound and technical fighter and Shakur can't keep it with it even if he tries to be the aggressor.

So yeah, just like the rest of boxing fans, two Mexicans will mean it's going to be as entertaining as other Mexican fights before and it could end up in a knockout or war for the rest of the twelve rounds.
