There were whispers earlier in the week that WBO super featherweight champion Emanuel Navarrete (37-1, 31 KOs) was having trouble with his weight. After initially being over, he did come in at the super featherweight limit of 130 pounds. Oscar Valdez (31-1, 23 KOs) came in underneath the limit at 129 pounds. Who will win the war tomorrow night?
