emanuel navarrete v oscar valdez august twelfth

[Ron Swanson]

Not the very elite as Shakur showed, but what an event. The Morales/Barrera build up told us what to expect and they delivered. Not as skilled as Morales/Berrera wars but the complete willingness to go to war was similar. I wonder if Alvarez watched this and understood of which he is robbing the sport.

Having Morales and Barrera there should be a vivid reminder to boxing fans of what the champion mentality is all about. Two truly Mexican greats, who did honor to their country's rich boxing tradition.

Thankfully, no one involved had the "bright idea" of inviting Ginger to go sit with them... because bluntly put, he doesn't belong.

Excellent fight
Not quite FOTY material
But a welcome addition to Mexican clashes
Navarrete's style isn't pretty or textbook
But he makes it work for him
His left uppercut is gold
