ref stops it. emanul wins

[TitoFan]

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 that

[TitoFan]

Wilson should get another shot.

oscar valdez will be licking his lips

[THE THIRD MAN]

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.
