nava drops diaz with a lead uppercut in the 4th, same shot he put villa down with first

Diaz dropped in rd4. Big uppercut. 10-8 round. 3-1 up

nava has a bit of that drunken master thing to him....lots of leaning and punching from odd angles

Diaz a very live opponent.

Trailing though.

Both throwing big shots.

Like Loma used to?

nah...there is more of a controlled awkwardness to it than loma had

ya diaz is in there working hard, but just not doing enough to take the rounds for me

diaz should be pulled

Respect to him. He’s never winning this..

bit disappointed in nava, after the 10-7 round he's just coasted....credit to diaz indeed, a very guttyguy

Diaz has won at least 4 rounds.. the KD’s and deduction don’t help.. scorecards gonna be wide.

nava batters him and drops him in the 12, diaz gets up, but corner waves it off

diaz tons of heart

i gave him 3

nava at 126......his work rate is really inconsistent. sometimes he throws a sh!tload, other rounds he goes the first half hardly throwing anything


did not like the way he eased up after the 2 kd round, but he got the stoppage in the end

ref gave diaz every chance there.....prob shoulda stopped it before diaz went down

By Boxing Scene

Navarrete drops Diaz with a big uppercut in the fourth round. Diaz deducted a point in the seventh for hitting Navarrete in the back. Diaz dropped twice in the eight round, once from an uppercut and then from a barrage of punches. Navarrete dropped Diaz for the fourth time in the twelfth, prompting Diaz's corner to throw in the towel.

Ref was good to him

for a lopsided fight, that was pretty entertaining

nava is very different than the classic mexican style

Sure was.. Diaz stayed competitive.

Andre Ward and Tim Bradley kept saying that Navarrete has a high boxing IQ. Given his unconventional style, Navarrete throws lots of punches only when he knows it's to his advantage. After he scored two knockdowns in a single round, they commented on how Navarrete expertly recharged himself in the next round and readied himself to mount another attack.

The accomplished boxing champions calling the fight for ESPN recognized Navarrete's successful strategy in throwing when he needs to and not throwing to punch himself out.

oh man, the things i have heard accomplished boxing champions say

They showing this in NZ?

The BT Sport is the trickiest. Have to wait.

They've actually been in the ring all their lives. They know what they're watching. They get paid more for their boxing opinion than you do.

'accomplished boxing champions' paid for their opinion also have conor benn beating porter, spence, and crawford right now, omg we better all agree since theyre 'accomplished boxingg champions' and we're lowly forum plebs!! boxers say stupid sh!t all the time ..: ..we better always score the same way as them too, have the exact same predictions (despite them being proven wrong countlessly), and never question their views, because omg theyre boxers

you gotta judge what they actually say, and not just kneel down and deepthroat them because they're boxers my man, i defo think diaz was ready to go and wouldve been taken out earlier if nava pressed a little more, i like myself some nava, but i think he ended up taking more shots and having to put in more work overall than he needed. if espn's commentary has another view, totally fine, people disagree all the time and that includes boxers seeing things differently from each other too, it's part of the game
