The two men finally are set to fight in a bout that’s tremendously important to the sweet science community but also to the nation of Mexico which both represent.
The three-division champion looks to carve out his legacy within his newest weight category and the 28-year-old Navarrete sees this next one as an iconic fight.
Navarrete has heaped a lot of respect on Valdez’s combat cache and the defending champ has stated that this is the kind of legacy-bolstering bout that he needs.

Valdez recently rebounded from the lone loss of his professional boxing career and looks to add another big name to his resume on Saturday night.

Both men here are regarded among the pound-for-pound best action fighters within the sport today. The idea that the ringside judges will not play a role in the verdict of this one would seem to interplay with that.
