Emanuel Navarrete defeats Isaac Dogboe more convincingly this time around!
TUCSON, Ariz. (May 11, 2019) — Emanuel Navarrete did it again. The WBO junior bantamweight world champion defended his title against the man he beat five months prior, Isaac “Royal Storm” Dogboe, via 12th-round TKO.
Navarrete won a unanimous decision versus Dogboe (20-2, 14 KOs) in their first meeting last Dec. 8 at Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden, and the rematch was more of the same.
At the time of the stoppage, two of the judges had Navarrete ahead 109-99, with the third judge scoring it 109-98.
Navarrete (27-1, 23 KOs) scored knockdowns in the sixth and 12th rounds. Following the knockdown in the 12th, Dogboe’s father and trainer, Paul Dogboe, threw in the towel.
“It really surprised me that he took so many hard shots, but at the same time, he continued to throw strong punches.
“I want to thank Dogboe because he gave me the opportunity to become a world champion, and now in this second fight, he gave me the opportunity to demonstrate that my first triumph wasn’t by accident and that there is a reason why I have the title.
“And to all the fighters at122 pounds, I tell them that if they want my title, then they can come and try and take it. ‘El Vaquero’ is here!”

“It’s not over until the final bell. Hats off to Navarrete. He did a great job. Making super bantamweight is getting too difficult.
“My next fight, I will be moving up to {featherweight}. I will be much more comfortable there.”
