While Suarez, who is 18-0, is lacking in professional fights, he has a deep amateur background. If he can channel the constant movement and unconventional angles that Berinchyk used to frustrate Navarrete, he may have a path to victory. Unfortunately for him, he is the smaller man who is moving up in weight.

Moreover, Suarez is a born pressure fighter who is always on the front foot. However, Navarrete will likely run his foe into counters in a scrappier fight than most expect.

The Prediction: Emanuel Navarrete via unanimous decision
