Emanuel Navarrete vs Eduardo Nunez will be a Mexican die-hard battle for the WBO and IBF super featherweight titles from Glendale, Arizona. Navarrete vs Nunez Odds opened with Nunez at -215 but have shrunk to -180 with 57% of boxing picks on Navarrete. The undefeated Nunez, 29-1, 27 KOs, looks the part of an indestructible slugger with a shredded physique and glossy knockout percentage, but the gritty veteran Navarrete, 39-2-1, 32 KOs, is a sleeper.
The awkwardly clever Navarrete’s Gumby-like 72″ reach will be a problem for the short-armed Nunez 68″. Nunez’s eye-popping knockout record gives the impression of a one-punch bomber, but Navarrete’s hands actually carry more thunder. Nunez will do his best to apply pressure and wear down Navarrete to the body, but he will be surprised by how heavy-handed and difficult it is to catch the tricky Navarrete. Bet the longer, stronger, and more battle-tested Navarrete to win a grueling war.
