There could be a rematch the australians are going to protest to the wb o about the long count with out that Navarrete would been knocked out for sure,but good on Navarrete he showed the true heart of a Mexican warrior to get up and win the fight,it is going to take one hell of a fight to beat this as fight of the year no big name fights yet,but we have seen two fight of the year contenders inside a week,on Liam he showed he is a good fighter and did not disgrace himself he can come home with his head held up he put up a great fight and showed what knew over here a big left hook
I know Liam Wilson has complaints about Navarrete getting a bit extra time to have his gumshield replaced however it's a brave referee who decides that a fighter has deliberately spat his gumshield out after being dropped, since docking another point means the opponent takes the round 10 - 7.
A bit more time to replace gumshields has always happened in boxing and unfortunately it's become a tactic used during a knock down.
Wilson can count himself a bit unlucky but should be proud of putting up such a great effort in only his 13th contest.
It was a very exciting fight but imo that's because both fighters were so defensively poor. Both lads seemed to be totally open.
Navarrete is fighting Valdez next - unless Navarrete tightens up significantly then "Mr Herbal Tea" will flatten him.
I feel like Tim Bradley is becoming a little bit more like Teddy Atlas with each broadcast. I don’t think I’ve seen Joe Tess do the full face-palm since the old PBC time-buy days.
Question for the audience? Would love to hear your thoughts! Do you feel "some' referees protect the 'house' fighter? Do you feel "some' commentators lean 'heavy' towards the house fighter? If you do...give me your thoughts...I love to hear from FANS....WITHOUT you.....there are no fight shows. Keep punching.
The best fight of this night was Wilson/Navarrete. Liam Wilson was the junior lightweight champion of the world for 20 seconds.....the time the referee took to allow Navarrete clear his head. This kid with a record of only 11-1 fought like he was defending his championship and wasn't left on the canvas but still on his feet. Was it a good stoppage? Probably so.......but in truth....this 11-1 kid stole the show from the 36-1 with 30 knockout 2 time champion. It's fighters like this the networks are missing out on....the ones with little exposure with little opportunity to have selected opponents on TV. I absolutely like this kids heart....Keep punching. Thanks for a great show and opening the doors for others less fortunate that don't have a big name promoter watching over them.
Benito he would of been knocked out it was 27 seconds that is a long time I am not calling him a cheat it referee I am on about 27 seconds before he started the fight again that is a long time when Navarrete was clearly hurt as I said in my post he showed great heart to go on and win the fight
" ... because I think it was about at 20-second count ..."
Very droll.
There must be something done about fighters spitting, spitting their mouthguards as a tactic. Of course, if mouthguards are genuinely knocked out, that should be ok.

After a couple of clunkers I’m happy there was such an entertaining card the whole way through
