Navarrete was the stronger body and showed no mercy to Nunez. He shows no signs of slowing down. Nunez outperformed Nunez throughout the fight. Vaquero threw 96 more punches than Sugar, for a total of 236 punches compared to Nunez’s 140 punches. What caused Eduardo’s right eye to close was the relentless punishment he received from Emanuel, who landed 47.8% of his power punches (Compubox).

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

In the past, El Vaquero has not performed to expectations, which can be attributed to a lack of discipline and nutritional regimen. In his last fight, he struggled to make weight against Charlie Suarez and had to be re-weighed.

It ended controversially as the cut was ruled to have been caused by a head butt when in fact it had been caused by a punch. Navarrete’s win over Suarez was overturned as a no-contest. In that game, Emanuel started strong but then began to fade, losing to Suarez.

This fight was in stark contrast to his previous fights and he looked physically ready. “This fight is an affirmation of what has been achieved in training, but you all only see the game and forget about the months of training, abstinence, and… my first diet. It’s complicated, to do physical work after training, it’s complicated. I think today… at least, in preparation for this fight, I treated it like a real pro,” El Vaquero said of his training.

Navarrete admits to not dieting or attending traditional training camps in the past; if he had done so, he would have been even greater, and it showed in this fight.

As for what’s to come, Navarrete said, “We just got the results of a new phase as a fighter. We did some new things that gave us great results. Some spectacular things, some really good things are coming. We’re in the antechamber of a super impressive fight. What really interests me is the ‘Mexico vs. The World’ card, which was recently announced by Turki Alalshikh.

Who doesn’t want to be a warrior? Who wouldn’t want to be there that night? It’s going to be incredible to support Canelo (Alvarez) that night. This will be an incredible thing. “

For now, El Vaquero will be taking some time off to rest and spend time with his family. He will decide what to do in the near future, adding that a potential fight with Suarez is still up in the air and could happen.
