Navarrete faces wild, bloody fight to stay champion; Muratalla has easier path in SD
- Emanuel Navarrete retained his WBO super-featherweight title on Saturday in San Diego by defeating Charly Suarez via seven-round technical decision.
- The fight was stopped prematurely after a severe cut above Navarrete's left eye, which resulted from an unintentional head clash in the sixth round and impaired his vision.
- At the time of stoppage, all three judges scored Navarrete ahead, with one card reading 77-76, securing his fourth successful title defense.
- Navarrete, a 30-year-old Mexican with a 40-2-1 record, missed the 130-pound weight limit at first scales, while 36-year-old Suarez fell to 18-1 seeking his first world title.
- The outcome maintains Navarrete's dominance in the division but highlights the challenges of sustaining his reign amid unforeseen injuries and strong contenders like Suarez.
