Very entertaining and active fight which deserves the 3 stars.
Navarrete is pretty good but he needs to improve his defensive skills in order to fully succeed in this category or the following above. His long arms were quite effective permitting him shooting hard and long punches from a distance which absolutely benefited him only.
