Navarrete Claims Headbutt Caused Fight-Ending Cut, Remains Undecided On Rematch Despite Top Rank’s Plans

The WBO super’s WBO superweight, Emanuel Navarrete, insisted on the fight against Charly Suarez on Saturday evening that his martial carriage was caused by a “headbreaker” in the sixth and that he still needs it “decide” whether he should give him a reserve. Carl Moretti, Vice President of Top -Rank, said late last night that a “reservoir” was coming after the repetitions of Suarez caused the cut. Navarrete (40-2-1, 32 KOS) can have other ideas because he does not commit himself to the retirement. He says he has to “Make a decision.“”

The cut caused the later interruption of the fight at the beginning of the eighth round. The ring doctor advised that the fight would be stopped after examining the cut on the left eye. It didn’t see a bad cut compared to the one, which Tyson Fury had suffered in his fight against Otto Wallin in September 2019. Fury was badly cut over his right eye in the third time, but the Ring Doctor did not advise stop.

Avoidance of reserves?

The fans have a real problem with the assessment of the fight. The judges gave it navarrete, although he seemed to lose five of the seven laps. They achieved 78-75, 77-76 and 77-76. What is also angered fans are the judges, the navarrete round seven, which was certainly the best round of the struggle for Suarez. He had Emanuel in serious difficulties in this round.

Navarrete seems to be victory and looking for another fight instead of giving Suarez a second chance. Suarez is too conditioned and fights too quickly for a pace for the striking and faded navarrete to beat him in a retirement without another bizarre situation saving him. Top rank published a clip of one of the earlier fights by Navarrete against Isaac Dogboe from 2018.

It looked like a completely different fighter. Navarrete was slim, faster and more agile. He hadn’t had this deteriorated, aged look at him that the fans saw last night. He looks very old for a 30-year-old, like someone who is closer to 40. What kind of lifestyle did Navarrete live outside the ring? His fights could not have done this in him because he did not fight any of the fighters at the elite level during his career.

Most of his games were against washed -out fighters or boys at the edge level. He never fought against talents such as Rafael Espinoza, Lamont Roach, Gervonta Davis, Eduardo ‘Sugar’ Nunez or O’Shaquie Foster. Navarrete was protected.

Words of a reluctant champion

“It’s a little early. I have a suspension for two months [due to the cut]. I have to think well, decide, see what’s coming and then we will make a decision, ”said Emanuel Navarrete to media When asked whether he gives Charly Suarez a remaining after the controversial stopover last Saturday.

“Unfortunately it ended as it did Because of the head buttBut I felt good. It was difficult with the results of the fight because of the head butt. I hurt him on my head and body. Maybe that gave me the advantage. I didn’t think I would lose. “
