Emanuel Navarrete vs Liam Wilson Prediction & Best Bet

Liam Wilson is a solid boxer, but he doesn't compare to Navarrete. "Vaquero" is not a stranger to title fights, having won both the WBO junior-featherweight and featherweight titles in his career. Navarrete is largely viewed as one of the best featherweights on the planet, which has a lot to do with his knocking out 81.8% of opponents that he's faced.

There's also the fact that Navarrette hasn't lost a fight in over 10 years, whereas Wilson suffered a TKO loss to Joe Noynay in July 2021. At the end of the day, Navarrete won't break much of a sweat.

As for the best bet, I see Navarrette winning in the first half of the fight. After all, 26 of his 36 victories occurred in the sixth round or earlier. On top of that, Wilson was knocked down four times by Noynay before the end of Round 5, proving that he's susceptible to a loss early on.

Bet: Emanuel Navarrete to Win in Round 1-6 (+115)
