Isaac Dogboe loses in the WBO Featherweight title fight against Robeisy Ramirez
Ghana’s Isaac Dogboe fell short in his attempt to become a two-division world champion, losing the WBO Featherweight world title fight to Cuban Robeisy Ramirez.
Dogboe was never in control of the fight after being rocked by Ramirez in the early rounds before the Cuban dictated the tempo of a highly competitive fight in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the early hours of Sunday.
After 12 rounds of gruelling action, The 2012 and 2016 Olympic Gold medalist for Cuba accomplished the feat in a twelve-round, unanimous decision victory over former WBO junior featherweight titlist Isaac Dogboe. Scores were 119-108, 118-109 and 117-110 for Ramirez, who claimed the vacant WBO featherweight title.
The first sign of a long night in store for Dogboe came midway through round two. Ramirez landed a left hand around the high and tight guard of Dogboe, later followed by a left uppercut at close quarters. Dogboe was visibly affected by the shot, missing wildly with a reactionary right hand after which he wisely clinched to avoid further punishment.
