Next up for Top Rank Boxing, A fighting cowboy, a hometown hero, and the grandson of “The Greatest” are set for a summer night to remember in San Diego.
Mexican star Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete will defend his WBO featherweight world title in the main event against countryman Eduardo “El Gemelo” Baez on Saturday, Aug. 20 at Pechanga Arena San Diego. Navarrete also signed a new multi-year promotional agreement with Top Rank that will see him fight on the ESPN family of networks in events promoted in association with Zanfer Promotions.
The 10-round welterweight co-feature will see San Diego native Giovani “Gallo de Oro” Santillan risk his unbeaten record against a soon-to-be-announced opponent.
In a four-round special feature, undefeated middleweight prospect Nico Ali Walsh, grandson of Muhammad Ali, will fight Reyes Sanchez in a rematch of their December 2021 bout that Ali Walsh edged by majority decision. Ali Walsh will fight in the historic venue that hosted one of his grandfather’s most memorable bouts. In March 1973, Ali and Ken Norton battled for 12 rounds at what was then known as San Diego Sports Arena. Ali suffered a broken jaw and lost a split decision in a major upset.
Navarrete-Baez, Santillan's welterweight battle, and Ali Walsh-Sanchez 2 will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.

I’m half Honduran/Mexican and I’ve always wanted Honduras to have a world class boxer and we finally have one! We got your back always teo 🥊 let’s go champ

Teo defense was on point he looked confident nd sharp this was a good fight to build up his confidence
-
The fight was soo badass his footwork timing speed skills. Just phenomenal. Dont lie to yourself. This man can box!

I'm so impressed with Teofimo's perfomance! Beautiful footwork
-
Ngl seeing Teo hold back tears as he was celebrating his victory made me tear up a bit too. Even though I don’t agree with his view on his loss and not fully accepting it. You can tell he’s been through hell this past year and I hope that’s past him and he’s truly in a better state of mind. I have so much hope for this guy, I wish him the best.
-
Teo looked good, Campa showed great heart and stood in there til the end, action packed!
-
Teo's head and feet movement tonight were world class. He's a great boxer and still growing into manhood. Hopefully he brings down his arrogance and things will line up for him again.
-
Some of those combos were insane 🔥 great job for his first fight at 140. 🇭🇳!!!
-
At least we finally know Ryan Garcia's next opponent, can't wait man. Garcia Vs campa gunna be fireworks 🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
Great boxing from Lopez, he’s proved he has the boxing skills, I am impressed.

Teofimo broke him down.... I'm happy he took his time

I'm glad that Teofimo Lopez is back because not only he is still the same old self again, but back as a champion and got the fighting spirit again as well
-

-
"It's the Takeover Takeover" what a G
-
He looked really good 👍 Glad to see him bouncing back.
-
Teo looked great. Didn’t lose a round and did what he wanted. Showed a good jab, terrific counters, defense was on point barley got touched. Good comeback fight for him. Thought the stoppage was a bit early but he was going to stop him anyway. But still give him the chance to properly stop him u feel me.
-
Teofimo looked sharp. Good to see this young Man back in the ring tearing it up.
-
Teo did great. Congrats! But I never heard of his opponent before
-
TEO Beat Campa while being a shell of himself. TEO was NOT as Aggressive or Violent and Risky as Usual. He knew he could clean campa up at any time but he was ULTRA Cautious about not puncing himself out and using too much Power too early. The performance was not impressive but I'm glad to see that he's thinking about the Fight as a whole and not just trying to destroy an opponent at the first bell. GREAT JOB!
-
Teo looking sharp and on point! That leaping jab though.
