Ken Buchanan vs Ruben Navarro

[greynotsoold]

Bad quality but I bet you haven't seen it before. Navarro, "The Maravilla Kid" (named after his East LA neighborhood), took the fight on 78 hours notice. Listen to the commentary; it is like a history lesson.







Incidentally, Navarro had been training for 2 weeks for another fight when this one came up because Mando ramos pulled out.

Yes, Ruben Navarro took the bout on 3-Days notice, but he did not have far to
travel, as he was already training in Los Angeles.

Ken Buchanan fought a lot in New York he must have been loved by them and needed to be good.
