I was watching some Narvaez fights tonight with this whole Garay the new Argentine champ.... I got some new fights that I hadn't seen before and also managed to come across some of his amateur fights.
It sucks for some of the fans that not a lot of people get a chance to see him. I will assume it has a lot to do with him being in Argentina being a Flyweight and all. We all know theres not as much money down there then up in the heavier weights and I'm sure that also plays a big role. I'm also certain he makes more then enough money fighting in his native Argentina.
As I've said before this guy has skills man, and great ring generalship. Hes a come forward fighter when he has to be and then he can quickly turn into an excellent skilled boxer. Just a well rounded fighter as I mentioned before in other posts his hand speed is really good and he has great footwork to go along with it.
Something that should be noted and depending on how you view it should give you some type of mind debate is that he BEAT Joan Guzman, Jose Navarro, Steve Molitor and lost to Wladimir Sidorenko in a close fight in the amateurs. I know, I know pros & ams are 2 different things but still. To me that says a lot even if I hadn't seen him fight.
It's too bad that he has spent the better part of his career in Argentina and in obscurity of the sport. Plus now hes 32 and is getting up there in age.
Again I recommend that you get online and try to get a hold on some of his fights. He puts on a really good show. Hopefully if he ever decides to fight another champ or move up in weight it's not to late in his career.
