Emanuel Navarrete’s Betting Outlook vs Valdez

Navarrete was supposed to face Valdez in February but an injury to the latter led to Navarrete winning the then-vacant WBO title versus a replacement opponent.

The two men finally are set to fight in a bout that’s tremendously important to the sweet science community but also to the nation of Mexico which both represent.

The three-division champion looks to carve out his legacy within his newest weight category and the 28-year-old Navarrete sees this next one as an iconic fight.

Navarrete has heaped a lot of respect on Valdez’s combat cache and the defending champ has stated that this is the kind of legacy-bolstering bout that he needs.

These 130-pounders clash with Navarrete hoping to notch the first defense of this title while conversely, Valdez looks to regain some form of a world title in this weight class.

Oscar Valdez’s Betting Outlook vs Navarrete

Valdez recently rebounded from the lone loss of his professional boxing career and looks to add another big name to his resume on Saturday night.

The former two-weight division world champion and former two-time Olympian faces off here with a highly skilled champion boxer who has abundantly clear physical advantages over him, reach-wise.

Both men here are regarded among the pound-for-pound best action fighters within the sport today. The idea that the ringside judges will not play a role in the verdict of this one would seem to interplay with that.
