That's a trip, fighters walk out solo with corner already in ring. Wonder if that was more for time restraints. Best of luck to Wilson here. Gotta grab oppurtuntiy by nuts but this could get very ugly if Navarette comes in with purpose.
Good 1st round on the main event. Liam did good holding his right hand up as I saw at least two blocked mean left hooks.
He's pretty spongy for a multi division champ. Wilson not seeing half of these awkward long shots but he's here for it so far.
gave the first to liam
emanuel looking slow
gave emanuel the second
"Mid-flight adjustments" ;D. Navarrete trying to swarm late 2nd. But Wilson remaining steady...and tall
gave liam the third. i have ahead by a point
liam needs to be careful with switch stances, it's got him in trouble before
:o:angryxo4:
Holy holy shit! That was awesome. Man he's hurt
emanuel down
fourth to liam with the knockdown
WOW. Wilson almost had Emanuel out of there. Bell saved him. Wilson should FORGET about southpaw. He does much better from the orthodox style.
ref gave emanuel timeQuote:

What a round! Both throwing some bombs. Wilson needs to keep his foot on the gas. Navarrete fighting desperately so Wilson needs to mind his defense also.
turning into a good fight, gave emanuel the sixth. i've got liam ahead by three points
should we start worrying about the judges yet?
Brutal 6th soaked up by Wilson and then flips the script!! I'm pretty shocked by the impact he's having. It's that crisp fast sharp type "power" if that's a thing. Think I just described 7-Up. Navarette bloated on long keeping busy type run and it's all catching up hard one night. Nose of Wilson just exploded.
Helluva fight, once again.
gave emanuel the seventh. i have liam ahead by two points
Oh HELL... Navarrete swung the fight around at the end of the round. Wilson needs to dig deep to keep control. Emanuel getting his confidence back.
Wilson... STOP going southpaw!!
gave emanuel the eighth. i have liam ahead by a point

ka boom
ref stops it. emanul wins
Damn... you've got to be kidding me.
First of all I think Wilson did a hell of a lot better than people thought going in. But damn... I think he wasted time switching back and forth. He should've stayed orthodox throughout the whole fight. He had Emanuel out, but let him off the hook.
What a fight!
Both of the last two fights were definitely great.
scratch thatQuote:

Wilson should get another shot.
oscar valdez will be licking his lips
The referee should never be in charge of a title fight again. He fell for the oldest trick in the book, "spitting out the mouthguard" to buy time. That 4th round knockdown took about 20 seconds to resume the fight again... Wilson deserves another shot and considering all the BS that was the weigh-in, it should be in OZ!
two of the judges were following the script

Valdez has a steel chin and power cant see Navarrete beating him.
Mexico's Emanuel Navarrete became a three-weight world champion after beating Liam Wilson in controversial fashion to land the vacant WBO super-featherweight title in Arizona.
WBO featherweight champion Navarrete ended the Australian's challenge with a ninth-round technical knockout.
But Wilson's team are to protest after Navarette, 28, went down in the fourth.
Navarrete spat out his mouthguard during the count, which meant it was 27 seconds before the action resumed.
"I knocked him down in the fourth round, and I believe the count was a bit longer," said Wilson, 26.
"I thought I won the fight in that sense because I think it was about a 20-second count," he added, saying he wanted the matter to be reviewed and would "see what happens".
Navarrete, a former super-bantamweight world champion, made the most of his opportunity - although he was hurt again by huge underdog Wilson in the sixth.
Navarrete took charge in the seventh and eighth rounds and put Wilson on the canvas in the ninth. From there, he launched a sustained attack which led to referee Chris Flores stopping the contest.

Exciting fight
Navarrete got extra time after the knockdown
Wilson got away with hitting Navarrete while he was down
Navarrete should consider moving back down to 126, keep his lighter division title
emanuel has dropped his featherweight belt & kept the one at one thirtyQuote:
