Pro

His record is 34-1-2 (19 KOs). He won WBO world flyweight title on July 13, 2002 by a unanimous decision win over Adonis Rivas. He defended that title 16 times with wins over Luis Alberto Lazarate, Andrea Sarritzu (twice), Everardo Morales, Alexander Mahmutov, Reginaldo Martins Carvalho, Bernard Inom, Rexon Flores, Walberto Ramos, Brahim Asloum, Marlon Marquez, Carlos Tamara, Iván Pozo, Alejandro "Payasito" Hernández and Rayonta Whitfield.

After defeating Whitfield, Narvaez surpassed Carlos Monzón's national record of successful defences, holding the record with 15 defences. On February 12 2011 he successful defended the WBO super-flyweight title with a unanimous points decision against Mexican Victor Zaleta in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

A clearly overmatched Narvaez faced Nonito Donaire on Oct. 22, 2011, at New York's Madison Square Garden. The Argentinian lost by unanimous decision, his first professional loss, with many saying he seemed more interested in finishing the fight than winning.
