Why Bet on Emanuel Navarrete?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Navarrete burst onto the scene to claim the WBO junior featherweight title<\/a> at the expense of Isaac Dogboe (UD 12) in December 2018. The heavy-handed Mexican stopped Dogboe (TKO 12) in the first of five defenses before moving up in weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 28-year-old bested previously unbeaten Ruben Villa (UD 12) to claim the WBO 126-pound title. He made a further three defenses, including dominating tough Joet Gonzalez (UD 12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most recently he became a three-weight WBO belt holder by getting off the canvas to stop Liam Wilson (TKO 9). Navarrete (37-1, 31 knockouts) is younger and fresher, but he\u2019ll be facing the best opponent he has gone against up to date.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Oscar Valdez?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Valdez, The Ring\u2019s No. 1-rated junior lightweight, was a standout amateur, appearing at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, and winning bronze at the 2009 World Championships. The Mexican star claimed the vacant WBO featherweight title by blasting out Matias Rueda (TKO 2), in July 2016, and made six defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notable triumphs came against Miguel Marriaga (UD 12) and Scott Quigg (UD 12) before he moved to 130. Valdez scored a career-best win when he knocked out Miguel Berchelt (KO 10) for the WBC title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 32-year-old made one successful defense, struggling to get past Robson Conceicao (UD 12) before losing to WBO ruler Stevenson (UD 12) in a unification bout. He knocked off some ring rust by out-boxing Adam Lopez (UD 10).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
