WBO junior featherweight champion Emanuel Navarrete (31-1, 27 KO) may not be at this weight class for much longer, but for the time being he’s still one of the top guys at 122 lbs. Against Jeo Santisima (19-2, 16 KO), the exciting Mexican took a little longer than expected to get the victory, but he nevertheless got the TKO in the penultimate round on the undercard of Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury 2.
Navarrete took the early rounds fairly comfortably but without really kicking it into second gear. Santisima gave him a scare in the fourth frame with a hard left hand on the neck that sent him stumbling.
