Considering how good the outcome of the fight was, it’s not clear why Navarrete’s management chose to go for a rematch with Valdez. A better option would be for Navarrete to try to avenge his 12-round decision loss to Denys Berinchyk on May 18 in San Diego, California.

Navarrete moved up to lightweight, hoping to capture the vacant WBO belt, but was knocked out by 2012 Olympian Berinchyk. It was one sided with Navarrete lacking the skills to win against the highly technical Ukraine.

In the 12th, Espinoza unleashed a flurry of punches to knock down a tired-looking Robeisy.
