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/
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.
