Despite two knockdowns, Emanuel Navarrete was ahead by just one point on two of the judges’ scorecards entering round twelve! Had Villa won the final round, the bout would have been a majority draw. Navarrete took the final stanza on all three cards to edge a win he seemingly had in the bag.

Pathetic as usual. Ugas and Navarette completely dominated and had to sweat it out because of incompetent judges. Boxing is turning into the WWE. I’m just waiting for someone to get hit with a chair while the ref is turned around and then get counted out.
Totally agree.
I had it 115 -111. Navarette has a crude style and looks off balance and bad when he misses. While I wasn’t impressed with Villa he did more than I expected.
Or their trainer hands them a foreign object that they lay out their opponent with:)
Your WWE scenario reminds me a bit of Mayweather-Ortiz. Joe Cortez distracted, and not looking at the fighters, Mayweather knocks him out with a sucker punch.
joe cortez distracted? did you see the fight? It was cortez that signaled the fighters to “resume fighting.” Cortez was completely on his game. What happened was ortiz quit. Ortiz was demoralized by the fact he had tried and failed to use his head as a weapon to stop the beat down floyd was putting on him. Ortiz was embarrassed at his own display of classlessness and terrible sportsmanship and the fact he had failed in his attempt. So, he tried to make amends. floyd touched gloves. ortiz continued to try to make amends but it was game on as cortez said. no sucker punch. ortiz quit.
now that would be ppv worthy. lol
Navarrete won the fight clearly!!! These judges are full of shiiitsss!! Viva Mexico Cabronessss
I disagree with you about that. Navarette scored two knockdowns and that gave him a big advantage. However, if you ignore the announcers and just watch the action in the ring, you see Navarette missing a lot of punches. Not only is he missing, he’s missing badly, swinging in an amateurish, sloppy way. On the other hand, Villa was landing sharp counters to the body and head. This fight was a perfect example of group think when the announcers are so focused on one fighter that they ignore what the other guy is doing and therefore the fans watching feel that the other guy is not even in the picture. if you’re actually watching the fight without the commentary, it’s a pretty even fight. the two knockdowns sealed it for Navarette, but he didn’t dominate. in fact, take out the two knockdowns and Villa probably has a slight edge.
The boxing commission needs a new criteria to screen potential judges. The scoring in so many fights lately has been insane!
I had Villa winning more rounds he boxed good he just doesn’t possess power, Bradley & award very biased. Navaretta has been exposed he’s wild and was missing horribly. He depends on his power but outside the two knock down punches he looked very big sloppy swing at air most of the night. For a guy that moved up in weight he looked very big at featherweight, and he’s going to have issues with the upper level top guys at 126.
When both fighters were taking the ref’s final instructions it appeared from a tv seat that either had worked up a warm up sweat. A first round knockdown for Villa was no surprise as he looked the colder of the two. Durning the entire fight both looked dehydrated but that is a view from the tv seat.
I don’t see why anyone would be so upset at the cards on this one. Villa landed lots of clean punches while Navarrete did a lot of missing and flailing away. Clean , effective scoring punches, Villa did just fine. I have no problem with Navarrete winning but this wasn’t some kind of total blowout that some people are claiming
I had it the same as the judges. I thought Villa needed the final round to get a draw. He gave that round away.Not a fan of Villas style but he was ouboxing Navarrete for long stretches. Making the Mexican look pretty crude for much of the fight. Clearly the harder puncher but you dont get points for missing punches wildly. He was clearly annoyed by the movement and there was a lot. Fans tend to confuse things and constantly favor an aggressor who isnt effective and penalize a fighter because they dont enjoy the style a fighter employs. Bottom line is most fans dont know how to score fights.
The fewer punches landed by Navarrete were much more effective than those of Villa. Scoring of pro fights should favor who is the most effective-would be a stretch to give Villa more than three rounds.
Yes, it was a close fight. I think too many were listening to the announcers rather than watching what went on in the ring.
People need to watch fights without the comentator. It’s other fight without them…
Villa was the better boxer, he clearly out boxed, out maneuvered Navarrete. Given Navarrete’s power and uncanny ability to throw punches from every angle, he looks unbeatable for now. I would like to see a rematch.
People who think Villa won or made it close need to realize the professional boxing is not scored like amateur boxing. Amateur boxing, which is on life support virtually everywhere, gives points for whomever can land the most meaningless punches in 3 rounds. It doesn’t work that way in the pros. That said, neither Navarrete or Villa turned in a memorable performance.
One big punch doesn’t win you the round either, he was clearly getting out boxed for the majority of the rounds. And he looked amateurish with his wild swings, Villa was landing some good punches he’s just not a power puncher he reminds me of Pauline Malignaggi good boxer with no pop.
William’s solid performance.robinson isn’t in the same class.he should fight Katy Taylor next.
