The former IBF 122-pound champion out-pointed Christopher Diaz and won a debatable majority decision in a classic crossroads bout between boxers who’ve been beaten by WBO featherweight champ Emanuel Navarrete. Dogboe got off to a slow start, but he picked up the pace and had some success during the second half of this 10-rounder on the Terence Crawford-Shawn Porter undercard.

Judge Eric Cheek scored the action even, 95-95, but judges Tim Cheatham (96-94) and Don Trella (97-93) scored their fight for Ghana’s Dogboe at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino’s Michelob ULTRA Arena.
Puerto Rico’s Diaz (26-4, 16 KOs) had hoped to revitalize his career by defeating Dogboe (23-2, 15 KOs) in his first fight since Navarrete stopped him in the 12th round of their fight for Navarrete’s WBO featherweight title April 24 in Kissimmee, Florida. Navarrete previously defeated Dogboe twice in 122-pound championship matches.
Dogboe tried to press Diaz during the 10th round, but he had trouble catching Diaz with flush punches. He landed a straight right in the final minute of the fight, though, and repeatedly threw hard shots at Dogboe’s body.
Dogboe landed a counter left on the inside about 40 seconds into the ninth round.
