Los Angeles junior featherweight Carlos Navarro didn't bring the Irvine Marriott crowd to its feet as he did a year ago in his professional debut. And he didn't end the fight with a flashy knockdown. Navarro did show the boxing world that he can win with workmanlike performances too. It took him eight rounds, but Navarro finally stopped a gangly but game Carlos Valdez of Phoenix Thursday night at the Marriott and raised his record to a 12-0. "He was awkward and stubborn," Navarro said.
