If the world was right, we would get Inoue v Navarette.

Reynoso doesn't get shyt on for not stopping the fight to protect Valdez eye but Derrick James was getting shyt on for letting Spence fight on past the 7th? 
What's wild is that it was basically the same situation as when they did it to Lomachenko. Two guys that were probably thinking that was their last shot at a relevant title they're gonna see for a while.

Difference in cultures, breh. Mexican boxing culture is all about legitimately fukking around and seeing if one of them will die in the ring. He actually would've been more criticized for doing what was probably the right thing, and not sending his fighter out for the 12th.

Just got to watch. Hell of a fight. Navarrete is just so weird with the angles he throws at, has to be impossible to try and time him. He should stay far away from Shakur though who will just pick him off from the outside.
Well being honest, it's many different reasons why it wouldn't come up as much. The Mexican fighter culture thing had already been brought up, then you add that it's not nearly as big of a fight so even less fans to complain about it. Plus, despite the scores, Valdez wasn't being beaten from pillar to post like Spence was without being the least but competitive.

Was outta town and gotta catch replay. Wife's birthday weekend
You’d ESPN with all their inclusionary stuff would have a commentator that is more familiar with the nuances of Mexican heritage. Especially because they know they are trying to attract a Mexican viewership when they do these matchups
Well you don’t say
