Dogboe’s face. Ouch!!!!
Very good fight between an skillful boxer against a young contender with abysmal reach advantage. Judges cards were quite consistent however one of them wrongly in favor of Dogboe. He was brave but overwhelmed by the attacks of a bit disorganized boxer that still needs more training to improve the way to launch his punches. Once he is able to master that, due to his height and punching power he could become unstoppable.
