Almost a year has passed since Emmanuel “El Vacro” Navaret (39-2-1, 32 Kos challenged Denys Berinchyk to the vacant WBO lightweight champion, who fought him on May 18 last year at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego. Navarrete lost the game, which he attributed to his hand injury. He fixed his hands and then decisively beat Oscar Valdez in December, and he was undoubtedly back 100%. Now he returns to San Diego and hopes to defend his junior lightweight championship to defeat veteran Charly Suarez (18-0, 10 KOS).
Suarez knew at the age of 36 that this might be his last chance at the title. He will hope to seize this moment and do everything he can to get the title. He has a difficult task to face a powerful hole punch with an awkward style. Navarrete overwhelmed Valdez and punished him with his strength. Using your hands, you can make the most of your arsenal and display it in the ring. Leave Valdez several times. The Navarrete is a powerful hole punch with an average power of 36.4 per round (Compubox). If he sees his opponent’s defense flaws, his power output will increase.
Yohan Vasquez was able to push Suarez back to the game. He let him fight at the back foot. Although he won the game through a unanimous decision, it wasn’t Suarez’s best performance. Yohan possesses decent strength, exposing Suarez’s defensive flaws. Suarez also seems to slow down toward the rear wheels. Navarrete can reveal Suarez’s permeable defense and make his hindfoot fight for the full game.
El Vaquero has struggled to fight for the entire career. He seemed ready to make the action lightweight against Berinchyk, but after losing to him, he decided to return to the junior high school lightweight. On yesterday’s weigh, his initial weight was 130.4 pounds. He spent an hour and a half and made five more attempts to reach his target weight of 130 pounds. The extra four ounces put unwanted stress on his body and encountered busy games at the clock. Before the allocated time, Navarrete was given two hours of weight loss and lost weight. It remains to be seen how it affects his inner ring performance. As mentioned earlier, he has encountered weight problems in the past. These four ounces were very few compared to his past struggles.
The weight limit for the two fighters is 130 pounds, which will be the title. The game itself won’t disappoint when it comes to entertainment. Suarez loves to swap and stay in it. The question will be, how long will he last on a powerful striker like Navarrete?
Emanuel looks ready for another great performance on the aging fighter. His awkward punch angle will pose a daunting challenge to Suarez’s defense.
