Emanuel Navarrete (39-2-1) and Eduardo Nunez (29-1) meet in a super featherweight unification fight on Saturday night at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. Nunez puts his IBF title on the line while Navarrete defends his WBO belt on DAZN.

I’ve broken down the latest Navarrete vs Nunez odds below, plus my prediction and how to watch.

Navarrete vs Nunez Odds

Nunez is a -225 moneyline favorite at BetMGM, meaning you’d need to bet $225 to win $100. Navarrete is coming back at +160 as the underdog.

Those -225 odds give Nunez about a 69% implied probability to win. The books are giving Navarrete roughly a 38% chance to pull off what they consider an upset.

The fight going the full 12 rounds is priced at -160. That’s intriguing given both fighters have knockout power. Nunez has stopped 27 of his 29 opponents, while Navarrete has 32 knockouts in 39 wins.

Nunez is the favorite, but -225 is too steep for a fighter facing someone as awkward as Navarrete. I think there’s value on the underdog at +160.

Navarrete fights like nobody else. His posture, footwork and guard shift constantly. He throws from weird angles, making exchanges messy and hard to time. That unpredictability has carried him to three-division world titles.

Nunez is a pressure fighter with serious power. He likes to walk opponents down and unload combinations. But his style is more straightforward. Against Navarrete, that approach could get him caught with shots he doesn’t see coming.

The key question is who controls the exchanges. Navarrete extends his fights by using angles and changing shapes. Nunez extends through durability and forward pressure. In long exchanges, the fighter who changes shape usually beats the fighter who repeats shape. That should favor Navarrete.

Teddy Atlas leans Nunez but won’t lay the -225 odds because of Navarrete’s ability to use his legs and keep the slower Nunez off balance. That tells you the price on the favorite might be wrong.

Navarrete has been in wars before. He got dropped by Liam Wilson and came back to stop him. He lost a close split decision to Denys Berinchyk at lightweight. And he knocked out Oscar Valdez in emphatic fashion in their rematch. This guy has experience in tough fights.

I expect a high-paced fight with dramatic swings. Navarrete’s awkward style should frustrate Nunez and create openings. The betting value is all on the underdog at plus money.

Navarrete vs Nunez Tale of the Tape

Navarrete has a height and reach advantage in this matchup. He’s two inches taller with a three-inch reach edge. That length should help him keep Nunez at distance when he wants to reset.

Both fighters have knockout power, but Nunez has the higher stoppage rate at 93% compared to Navarrete’s 82%. That said, Navarrete has faced better competition throughout his career and has proven he can go 12 rounds when needed.
