Carl Moretti, vice president of the top rankings, revealed after tonight’s fight that the answer was found after the commission had already ruled that WBO Super Featherweight Champion Emanuel Navarrete’s cut was caused by a clash of heads with Charly Suarez. Moretti said, “Rematch to come.” Suarez is now getting a rematch, does not change the fact that a call did not stop winning tonight. The judges scored it 78-75, 77-76 and 77-76.

Title denies
He should have won by an eighth round TKO, and he would be the new WBO Super Featherweight Champion. The difference in payment that Suarez would go into the re -broadcast if the champion rather than the challenger would be significant.
If the right call was made for the cause of the cut, and decided it was out of a punch, Suarez would have won the battle with an eighth round TKO. The initial decision of the head bud that causes the cut is what led to the controversial result that it goes to the scorecards and Navarrete -wen and eight round technical decision.
This is good news for Suarez (18-1, 10 COs) because he lost the fight on Saturday night through a technical decision of the eighth round due to the cut, which caused the doctor to stop the competition. It went to the scorecards, and the judges gave it to Navarrete. He doesn’t seem to win, but they saw him as the winner.
Fans on social media call it overwhelmingly a robbery and say that Suarez should have won by an eighth round. They question why the call was not made about the cause of the cut, as the immediate repetition was used, and video footage of each angle showed the punch on the side of the head of Navarrete where the cut took place.
Navarrete’s decline
Emanuel Navarrete deteriorated badly from 2018 to 2023. Although Navarrete is still young, his body shows signs of premature physical decline. It happens to many fighters.
