Narvaez faced Nonito Donaire on Oct. 22, 2011 at New York's Madison Square Garden losing by unanimous decision, his first professional loss. He copied Joshua Clottey's Turtle defense to survive the 12 rounds. Narvaez never tried to win this fight, he only wanted to avoid getting floored. To Bob Arum's dismay, Narvaez will never fight again.
