Robeisy Ramirez vs Isaac Dogboe preview
Ramirez is a very accomplished amateur fighter with two Olympic gold medals to his name while representing his nation Cuba. Other than the blip in his debut, he's looked formidable in the pro game too with his speedy hands and great combinations.
At 29, Ramirez earned his first title shot due to his sound technical skills. At 5’5” and with a reach of 68.1”, Ramirez combines speed and power in this southpaw fighting stance. Ramirez is ranked number two in the WBO’s featherweight division, behind only his opponent in this fight.
After three successful outings in 2022, you would expect momentum should carry into this year’s first fight. As a result, Ramirez will enter this match in top form, leading most boxing predictions in his favor. Most fans and bettors expect Ramirez to control this fight from the start, and so do we.
Dogboe enters this fight standing at 5’2” with a 66.1” reach. He uses an orthodox fighting stance, leading him to the number one spot in the WBO featherweight division rankings. His three-inch height disadvantage against Ramirez may significantly impact the Ghanaian-British fighter’s ability to control the bout.
It's fair to say that Dogboe is the more powerful of the two, and the opposite stances open up the chance for him to land his power punches more successfully. But after just one bout in 2022 it's possible he won't be as sharp as we've previously seen him.
Boxing picks: Ramirez to win on points
Stylistically this is a really interesting match up to decipher who the number one featherweight in the world is.
Ramirez will almost certainly win a traditional boxing match between the two because of his added size and technical attributes, but Dogboe has got great durability and will push the pace hard to ensure he gets the win.
However it simply cannot be forgotten that this is the first time in his rather fledgling professional career that Ramirez is scheduled to go for 12-rounds against a world class opponent, and that could have an effect as we get into the latter stages of the fight.
We don't know if his speed and movement will hold up for the full 12 rounds, although he looked good when he claimed the stoppage win in the 10th last time out. We know that Dogboe can go the distance and an control fights, but this is a different level.
So far in his career when he's come up against the best he has fallen short, and this seems like another occasion that will be just too much for him.
Expect Ramirez to use his reach and jab to perfection all night while landing the bigger shots early on, racking up enough of the early rounds that even if he does fall flat later in the fight he can claim the decision in a close fight.
