SportsTranscript
00:00Okay, gentlemen, we went over the instructions in the dressing room.
00:05I expect a clean fight.
00:07These trunks are perfect right there.
00:08There's the line.
00:09These are a little hot.
00:10I'm going to let you work right there.
00:11There's the line.
00:12Touch gloves now.
00:15These young men were supposed to face off August 10th.
00:18Instead, Steven Navarro took on Israel Camacho, stopped him in the first round, and Oscar
00:24Arroyo, he last was in the ring September of 2023.
00:29He says, look, I live in Virginia.
00:31I drove all the way to New York because I knew what it was going to take to beat this
00:35young Southpaw.
00:36Bernardo Cunha and Timothy Bradley, the International Boxing Hall of Famer, and we see Navarro
00:42starting off with that stiff jab.
00:43Yep, stiff jab.
00:44Come fighting out of the Southpaw stance.
00:46You know, this is definitely an open stance battle here.
00:53Both of the backhands, I continue to tell you guys, they line up.
00:56You see the backhand right there coming from Navarro right away.
00:59You know, you want to get your foot on the outside in order to line up that backhand.
01:06It also takes care of defense as well, getting your head off the line.
01:13Navarro talked about the importance, Tim, of having his uncle join his team, a Southpaw,
01:19Carlos Navarro, who fought for the world title, wasn't able to win a belt, but just having
01:24his expertise and building a relationship with his uncle through the fighting game,
01:28and you see his aggressiveness early, a great straight left, and Navarro is on the canvas.
01:34Bro, you see him go through the gears, go through the gears right there with those combinations?
01:40You good?
01:41Okay, let's go.
01:42Box.
01:43Look, his second fight as a pro, Tim, he didn't get the stoppage, he said, I wanted to cry
01:48in the ring.
01:49Tonight, there may not be any crying, Tim.
01:52Ooh, nice body shot from Navarro.
01:54Look, Arroyo, it's outclassed, outgunned, for sure.
01:58I mean, he's saying to himself, what the heck did I get myself into right now?
02:03He didn't expect this.
02:04No.
02:05And do you see the switch?
02:06Yeah.
02:07By Navarro, going right into this orthodox stance, then stepping back, disengaging, and
02:14getting right back into the Southpaw stance.
02:15Tim, he digs to the body, he doesn't punch to the body, he goes right through it.
02:20You want to know something?
02:21He said in his last fight, he said, I was so upset with myself, I felt like crying.
02:25I literally felt like crying, because he didn't get the stoppage.
02:27Yeah, the second fight of his pro career, then he came back and knocked the guy out
02:31in the first round.
02:32He's a perfectionist.
02:33Yes, he is.
02:34Nothing wrong with that.
02:36Trained by his father, Refugio Navarro, Marvin Simodio, out of that wild card gym, part
02:41of his squad, and now, Jose Navarro as well.
02:44Showman has a ton of skill.
02:49Arroyo, what he's trying to do right now, he's trying to time him.
02:51Now that Navarro has kind of calmed down a bit, he's looking for his spots and opportunities
02:57to be able to land his offense right there.
02:59It was a nice little sequence for him right there, four punch combination.
03:03He and Alan Garcia, who you'll see next on this fight card, are very similar in the sense,
03:07Tim, that they go after you, and they're not rushing things, it's just they fight at this
03:12pace.
03:13Well, you've got to fight at this pace.
03:14I mean, going six rounds.
03:15You know, as you get into the eight deeper, eight rounds, ten rounds, you start to slow
03:19the pace down.
03:20However, this is like a fast-paced amateur match, but it's six rounds instead of four.
03:25Yeah, and Navarro's not pity-patting, touching for points.
03:28He's going for scoring shots.
03:30He's got a speeder planning, so he's sitting down more on his shots.
03:34He's learning that.
03:35Let's listen to his father.
03:36Keep that jab going.
03:37Keep that jab going.
03:38When you work that body, finish that shot.
03:39Pegadito, okay?
03:40Tim, that knockdown was as impressive a sequence as we've seen out of a 3-0 fighter.
03:43I love that.
03:44I mean, along the ropes, that's what you do.
03:45When you have your man along the ropes, you've got to bite.
03:46That's exactly right here what Navarro is doing.
03:47He's biting down.
03:48You've got him pinned against the ropes.
03:49The only way he can go is left or right.
03:50He can't go back, but nice left hand right there.
03:51Short right hook on the inside.
03:52He's got a good jab.
03:53He's got a good jab.

05:10He's got a good jab.
05:11He's got a good jab.
05:12He's got a good jab.
05:14Nice body shot again from Navarro.
05:16Arroyo tries to answer in kind.
05:24Man, it looks like Navarro has four hands as fast as he's going.
05:27Yeah, he does.
05:28I mean, that's how he feels.
05:29Look, Arroyo right now is feeling like he's getting jumped,
05:32like his cousin or somebody's in the ring helping him.
05:34These punches are coming from all angles.
05:36They're coming underneath, around the guard, down to the body.
05:39And man, that straight left that Navarro just landed stopped Arroyo in his tracks.
05:43But Arroyo says, you know what, keep punching my head.
05:45I'm going to go downstairs while you do your work to the head.
05:48Look, Arroyo, he's tough.
05:49There's no doubt about it.
05:51He's very tough and durable.
05:54He's taking these shots well.
05:56But he needs to let those hands go.
05:58I mean, when are you going to get sick and tired of getting beat on?
06:01Get yours back.
06:02You need to get some.
06:04You see Navarro switching to the orthodox and back to the southpaw stance,
06:08looking for the angle.
06:09That's what he said he's been working on.
06:10Yeah, front foot step shuffle.
06:12That's that Lomachenko.
06:14Get off on the angle.
06:15I like that.
06:18A lot of fighters nowadays, they fight on straight lines.
06:20Good uppercut right there from his way.
06:22Mouthpiece out.
06:25Happened in the first round as well.
06:27That's one way to buy some time, Timmy.
06:29Yeah.
06:30I mean, he got clipped right on the mouth.
06:32That mouthpiece came out.
06:33I mean, you want to bite down on the mouthpiece, you get your jaw broken if you don't.
06:38Arroyo got to be careful doing that.
06:42But again, that lead hand, you see how he drops that lead hand?
06:46That's just a feint.
06:47That's just to occupy.
06:49Occupy your opposition.
06:52Keep his eyes on that lead hand and then boom, pop him with the left backhand,
06:55which is the power hand.
06:59Navarro has his feet under him now after that little respite.
07:02Nice right hand from Arroyo.
07:05Continues to punish Arroyo,
07:07who's now got a little bit of confidence coming forward.
07:12Good shot.
07:15That straight left again from Navarro.
07:18Partially blocked by Arroyo, but you see how hard
07:21and with bad intentions Navarro throws those shots.
07:26And in the combinations as well.
07:30You know, he's not a one-punch knockout guy.
07:32He's more of an accumulative type of guy.
07:34You know, one of the places he needs to focus on,
07:37he's hit Arroyo with his best shot upstairs.
07:41He needs to focus a little bit more down to the body.
07:43He does that, he'll wiggle him even more,
07:45and it'll open up shots upstairs.
07:47What a nice setup with the uppercut and then a chopping right hand.
07:50Did you see the angle that he took?
07:51He spun him.
07:52Nice little angle right there to set up that knockdown,
07:54to create that knockdown.
07:55Knockdown, excuse me.
08:00Knockdowns in the first two rounds, and it was a great shot.
08:03The uppercut, spin, and then the right that dropped Arroyo.
08:08Let's take a look at it, Tim.
08:10There it is.
08:11Nice little uppercut right there to start that.
08:12Spits his head right there.
08:13That's control right there.
08:14That's having control of your opposition.
08:16You got his head where you want him to go.
08:18You frame it up, boom.
08:21Nice little stiff jab right after.
08:23Uppercut here.
08:25Look, he missed with that shot, and then he steered his head
08:27to where he wanted to be, and then he caught him with the lead hand,
08:30and that created a knockdown.
08:32You know, it wasn't a big shot, but it was a surprising shot,
08:35and he was off balance as well.
08:37He got up.
08:38He was okay.
08:39It looked like he's recovered so far, but, you know,
08:41I didn't see him stagger back to the ropes.
08:43So it was a flash knockdown right there.
08:45But, Tim, that's a veteran move for a fighter in his fourth fight.
08:48Yeah, it is.
08:49It is.
08:50He's well above schedule for sure.
08:53There's no doubt about it, well above schedule.
08:55He's a championship prospect.
08:57He has tons of skills.
08:58Not only that, he's so determined, and he's so disciplined, you know,
09:02and now he has his uncle working with him, who was a bad man and amateurs man,
09:07and he did his thing in the pros as well, Jose Navarro.
09:10Absolutely.
09:11You'll remember that name because his brother, Carlos Navarro,
09:14was an Olympian as well in Sugo de Oro, and he's got that pedigree,
09:20but he's got that chip on his shoulder too,
09:22to be the first Navarro to become a world champion,
09:25and that's why he works so hard in the gym.
09:27Look, he said, what'd he say?
09:29I want to be ready for a world championship opportunity by next year.
09:34Wow.
09:35By next year.
09:37That's his expectations.
09:39He said, I want to be a stamp.
09:41There are certain types of fighters who open up new chapters for the next generation.
09:44I have family members who have gotten close to world championships,
09:47and I want to set the stamp.
09:49Those were the words that Navarro used,
09:51why he is this intent every time he's in the ring.
09:55Everything's intentional, Tim.
09:57Yeah, and every move's got to have a purpose,
10:00and I'm starting to see that with Navarro.
10:02Every move he does, it has a purpose.
10:05You know, a lot of times there's guys that do moves,
10:08and there's no purpose behind it.
10:11That's purposeful, and it follows up that one-two with a right uppercut.
10:16See, Arroyo right now, that's exactly what he needs to do.
10:19He needs to attack that body to slow down Navarro.
10:22Start banging that body, he'll take some of that power away from him.
10:25Now, Arroyo's looking the worst for wear.
10:27What a right uppercut landed there from Navarro.
10:31You know, Arroyo's working with his trainer, Michael Corleone, for the first time.
10:36He says there's a language barrier.
10:38He calls out the punches by number.
10:41Well, all he is hearing is numbers from Steven Navarro, who's looking impressive tonight.
10:46His face is burning right now.
10:48Body's burning from that leather that's been hitting his face all night.
10:51Nice left hook, though.
10:52Good shot.
10:53He came here.
10:54That's what I'm talking about.
10:55You toughness, he has it.
10:58Check that box for sure.
11:00Heart, toughness, pride.
11:02The fighter is bleeding now from his nose.
11:07Nose looks swollen, too.
11:08Born in the land of Roman Chocolatito Gonzalez, the land of Alexis Arroyo.
11:14You know what he's made of.
11:16But, man, is Navarro testing that metal here.
11:18He sure is.
11:21That nose doesn't look the same as when he came into the ring.
11:24I'll tell you that much.
11:26Nice flurry from Navarro.
11:28Going through the gears.
11:29Oh, and that's a straight left after the uppercut.
11:33And it's a matter of time, ladies and gentlemen.
11:35Where's the corner at?
11:37Why isn't the corner stepping in and saving?
11:40Oh, that's it.
11:41I don't get it.
11:42And there is the referee who finally does his job.
11:46What an impressive performance from Steven Navarro.
11:50We talked about the tears almost streaming from his face in his second professional fight
11:54against the durable Juan Meza when he didn't get the stoppage.
11:57And his father told him these words.
11:59It's about the performance.
12:01Tonight, Tim, it was the performance and the stoppage.
12:04Young man impressed me tonight.
12:06That's for darn sure.
12:08He did a little bit of everything.
12:10Did a little bit of everything tonight.
12:13That is the face of a battered man with a ton of courage and heart.
12:17Oscar Arroyo and Steven Navarro looking like he can go again for another six rounds.
12:22Oh, there's absolutely.
12:23I mean, he says he does 10 rounds in training, 12 rounds in training.
12:26But look at this here.
12:27Coming off that jab, firing off that jab, getting him a look at it,
12:30then coming right down the middle with that straight left hand.
12:32You see the nose of Arroyo starting to bother him.
12:35It's swollen.
12:36But, you know, this onslaught right here was just a continuation from the first round.
12:41He started the fight off with these combinations, vicious combinations.
12:46You know, having your man on the ropes.
12:48Again, when you have your man near the ropes, what do you want to do?
12:51You want to bite down.
12:52Go ahead and pin him on those ropes.
12:53Keep him on those ropes.
12:54That's the perfect opportunity for you to mount an attack like this
12:57to have the referee come in and stop the action.
13:00But, you know, it's a beat down.
13:02A serious beat down.
13:04Look at that.
13:05Man, whiplash.
13:06I'm talking about the face was burning.
13:09His body was burning.
13:10Seriously.
13:11That shot.
13:12Yeah, that shot right there.
13:14That was like a punctuation right there for the referee.
13:16The referee said, I haven't seen enough.
13:18This is getting bad and getting out of hand.
13:28He even switched orthodox.
13:32That's what it sounded like.
13:34And there you see the reaction of this young man who now has three knockouts
13:38and four professional victories.
13:40He's something else.
13:41He continues to look better and better every time out.
13:45He's something else.
13:46Like, when are you fighting again?
13:47I want to know.
13:49I want to be right there.
13:51Absolutely.
13:52He went to fight five times in his first year as a pro.
13:54This is four, so we will definitely see him again before the year is out.
13:58You know who else we're going to see a lot of?
14:00Mark Chinook with the official time.
14:02Good looking.
14:03Ladies and gentlemen, here inside Desert Diamond Arena,
14:07referee Chris Flores steps in and calls a stop to this bout
14:11at two minutes, 35 seconds of round number three.
14:16Declaring your winner by technical knockout,
14:19Steven Kid Dynamite Navarro.
14:26That young man has a smile that can make him a ton of money.
