Navarrete Punishes Isaac Dogboe …Wins WBO Title

Isaac Dogboe has lost his WBO Super Bantamweight title to Mexican boxer Emanuel Navarette. He lost the title on Saturday December 8, 2018 in New York.

The loss came via a unanimous decision from the judges who scored it 115-113, 116-122, 115-113 in favour of the Mexican.

Navarrete, the No. 2 challenger for Dogboe’s title, was listed as a 5-1 underdog by most Internet sports books. That didn’t stop him from using his five-inch height advantage, reach edge and activity to overwhelm the game Dogboe, who had to dig deep to avoid getting knocked out during the final two rounds.

The 24-year-old Dogboe (20-1, 14 KOs) failed in the second defense of the WBO 122-pound championship he won by knocking out Jessie Magdaleno in the 11th round April 28 in Philadelphia. He stopped Japan’s Hidenori Otake in the first round of his first defense, August 25 in Glendale, Arizona.

Dogboe who went into the bout as champion could not stand Navarette’s punches and power in the earlier rounds.

He responded with some good display but failed to properly beat Navarette . The trend continued even though Dogboe was very lively in the later rounds .

The Mexican’s reach and power punching opened up cuts around his eyes to the point that the Ghanaian could not open his eyes properly in the 12th round.
