I was unsuccessful on finding a stream for this fight. I really wanted to see it. I haven't been able to find any results, anyone see this one?

Haven't seen it yet but heard Narvaez stopped him in the 10th

I just read on fightnews that Narvaez just beat Carlos Monzon's title retention record (for Argentinian's).

Why did the ref take a point away? I didn't see any low blows, I'll have to watch again, it looked like an uppercut to the face that he took a point away for.

That's referee Samuel Viruet. I consider that ref a corrupt incompetent referee. I've seen his corrupt officiating first during the Narvaez fight against Filipino Rexon Flores last August 2006. Then when he was announced as the ref for Montiel vs. Gorres fight in Cebu, Philippines, I jokingly told fans in Pacland that Gorres will be robbed in his own hometurf. I was right, referee Samuel Viruet again showed incompetent highly questionable officiating. Then this fight... what a dick referee...

Narvaez is fucken brilliant on the defense...
It sucks that he stayed out of the states or for that matter any other country other then his hometown cause that dude would have gotten lot's of praise by everyone.
He's fanfuckentastic to watch, defensive fighter but is willing to fight and trade. It sucks when good/great fighters like to stay in their home countries. Wish they had the courage to get out of their and fight on bigger stages.
It also sucks that his career is ending and is on the last stretch.
To be honest it wouldn't surprise me if he announced his retirement after this fight, but I don't think he will I think he'll fight at least once more.

Omar Narvaez is a good boxer but he's a protected boxer. He fought mostly in his home country Argentina and sometimes receiving favorable officiating from corrupt incompetent referee Samuel Viruet...

Yeah its a pity he never fought the top guys, I would have loved to have seen him against the likes of Morel, Darchinyan, Arce, Wonjongkam or Parra. Narvaez was drawing pretty big crowds too so fights against the top guys may have been huge over there, so he can't hold all the blame!
