Emanuel Navarrete knocked out Oscar Valdez in the sixth round of their WBO super-featherweight title rematch on Saturday to retain his belt.
Back in August 2023, Navarrete won via unanimous decision against Valdez in a back-and-forth slugfest in front of 10,246 fans at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. In that encounter, Navarrete's reach and punch output were difficult puzzles for Valdez to solve. The native of Nogales, Mexico, tried to find openings for counterpunches from his high-guard stance, using his head and feet to avoid Navarrete's sudden bursts of combos.
This was then followed in round four when a right hand startled Valdez. Just a round later in the fifth, it was a left uppercut that sent Valdez to the deck before he was eventually out for the count in the sixth after a bruising bodyshot in the ribcage. It was a return to form for Navarrete, who bounced back from May's decision loss to Denys Berinchyk for the WBO lightweight title. 'I had to work hard in each round. He comes forward. I had to push him back.
