Why Bet on Emanuel Navarrete
It has been an excellent professional career for Emanuel Navarrete, as the Mexican fighter has already held world titles in two different divisions.
He held the WBO junior featherweight title from December 2018 until July 2020 and has also held the WBO featherweight title since 2020.
Navarrete is currently regarded as the world’s best featherweight boxer and has been in excellent form since beating Ruben Villa to become the champion.
Why Bet on Eduardo Baez
Eduardo Baez is the massive outsider for this world title showdown on Saturday.
The Mexican has potential issues this weekend.
Two defeats and two draws in his career up to this point showcase his flaws.
However, he did bounce back from defeat against Ra’eese Aleem on his previous outing, as he defeated Enrique Vivas by a majority decision in Las Vegas earlier this year.
The one thing that is certainly in his favor this weekend is the fact that he has been more active throughout 2022.
Final Betting Analysis – Emanuel Navarrete vs. Eduardo Baez
It looks so hard to see past Navarrete successfully defending his title this weekend, as he still looks like a fighter that is improving every time that he steps in the ring.
However, we expect Eduardo Baez to make it a fight, and it will not be a straightforward win for the Mexican Champion.
We expect this one to go the distance but the champ will retain the belt.
