A disciplined Emanuel Navarrete shows his potential against sugar Nunez

Navarrete was physically stronger and relentless against Nunez. He showed no signs of slowing down. Outworking and outshooting Nunez throughout the fight. Vaquero outscored Sugar by 96 punches and landed 236 total punches to Nunez’s 140. What caused Eduardo’s right eye to close was the relentless punishment he took from Emanuel, who landed 47.8 percent of his power punches (Compubox).

“It was almost a little over two months of intense work. I think the key was the sparring I used. It was a very specific job we did, preparation and training for a style like Sugar’s. I believe that was the key,” Navarrete said of his ability to have so much success against Nunez.

El Vaquero has had performances in the past where he hasn’t lived up to expectations, which can be attributed to a lack of discipline and a nutrition plan. In his last match he struggled to make weight against Charly Suarez and had to weigh in again.

A fight that ended in controversy due to a cut caused by a headbutt when it was actually caused by a punch. Navarrete’s victory over Suarez was overturned in a no contest. In that fight, Emanuel started strong but began to fade and lose rounds to Suarez.

This fight was a complete contrast to his previous fight in that he looked physically prepared. “The fight was a confirmation of what was achieved in training, but you all only see the fight, you forget about the months of training, the abstinence, and … about the first time I diet. It’s complicated, to go do physical work after training, it’s complicated. I think for today … for at least, the preparation for this fight, I took it as a true professional,” El Vaquero said of her.

Navarrete admitted that he hasn’t dieted in the past and hasn’t had a traditional training camp; if he did, he would be so much bigger, and it showed in this fight.

As for what is on the horizon, Navarrete said: “We just got the results of a new stage as a fighter. We did new things that gave us good results. Something spectacular, something very good is coming. We are in the anteroom of a super impressive fight. Something that really interests me is the card of “Mexico versus the World Alalshikh,” which was recently announced by Turki.

Who wouldn’t want to be there as a fighter? Who doesn’t want to be there that night? It will be something incredible to support Canelo (Alvarez) that night. It will be something incredible.”

For now, El Vaquero will take some time off to rest and spend time with his family. He will make a decision on what he will do in the near future, he also added that a potential fight with Suarez is still pending and could also happen.
