Image: "Rematch to Come" Declares Top Rank's Moretti After Injustice: Replay Shows Punch, Not Headbutt, Led to Navarrete's Cut in Disputed Decision Against Suarez

The Vice President of the highest rank Carl Moretti revealed after today’s fight that the answer was found after the Commission ruled that the super feather WBO WBO Emanuel Navarrete champion was caused by the clash of heads from Charly Suarez. Moretti said: “Rematch for the future.” Suarez will get a rematch, now it does not change the fact that the blown phone has stopped him from winning tonight. The judges won it 78-75, 77-76 and 77-76.

Refusal

He should have won through TKO from the eighth round and would be the novel WBO Super Feather Wweight champion. The difference in remuneration that Suarez would get into the rematch as a master, not a pretender, would be significant.

If the right call to the cause of cutting, the ruling that it came from the impact, Suarez would win the fight through TKO from the eighth round. The initial ruling of the butt causing the cut led to the controversial result when he came to the winning results and victory of Navarrete and eight round technical decisions.

This is good news for Suarez (18-1, 10 KO) because he lost the fight on Saturday evening according to a technical decision from the eighth round because of the cut, causing the ring doctor stopping the competition. He went to results cards and the judges gave him Navarrete. He didn’t seem to win, but they saw him as a winner.

Fans in social media are mostly called robbery, saying that Suarez should have won by knockout from the eighth round. They ask why the connection was not made on the cause of cutting, taking into account that an immediate replay was used, and the video from each angle showed the landing of the impact on this side of the Navarrete head, in which the cut took place.

Decrease in navarrete

Emanuel Navarrete looked earnest with deterioration today from his first years in 2018-2023. The combination of eating luxurious dishes outside the ring, a punishment that he survived in battles, and cutting the weight begins to bounce back to a 30-year-old. Although Navarrete is still juvenile, his body shows signs of premature physical fall. This happens to many warriors.

"Robert Garcia Analyzes Tim Tszyu's Odds Against Erislandy Lara | Boxing News"

Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.

Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.

Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.

Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.

“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.

“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.

“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”

Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.

Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight

"Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight"

Deontay Wilder’s former head coach Malik Scott has delivered a knockout prediction for the American’s upcoming showdown with Jai Opetaia.

The pair will square off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on December 11, with Opetaia making his heavyweight debut on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

Despite him being the naturally smaller man, many are favouring the Australian – a former two-time world cruiserweight champion – to defeat his 10-years-older opponent.

It is, after all, generally accepted that Wilder has declined significantly since his trilogy bout with Furywho survived two knockdowns and scored an 11th-round knockout in their 2021 encounter.

Back then, Wilder had just joined forces with Scott, his former opponent, and the pair maintained their fighter-trainer relationship through subsequent defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

With Wilder now operating under different coaches, though, Scott has shared a balanced view of the Opetaia fight with Seconds Out.

“The fight’s got dynamite written all over it. Jai Opetaia is very dangerous, but he’s a smaller man that’s been hurt by smaller men than Deontay, slower men than Deontay.

“I’ve never seen Opetaia get hit by nobody like Deontay; I’ve seen Deontay get hit by bigger punchers than Opetaia. [But] one thing we can expect in this fight is a knockout.

“The name of the fight is ‘bad intentions’ – at least that’s what I’m calling it, because that’s what they share in common. What they share in common is mentality – they both are trying to hurt you.”

While he stopped short of predicting a winner, it is perhaps telling that Scott, despite his relationship with Wilder, has not explicitly favoured him to win by knockout.
