As Isaac the Royal Storm Dogboe mounts the ring on May 11, the mission is simple. Operation Claim back the world title. Knowing now that setbacks are only challenges in disguise and a setback is never a bad experience, just another one of life’s lessons.
Indeed his defeat to Emanuel Navarrete at the Madison Square Gardens on December 8, 2018 was only a set back, a wrong that must be corrected in both physical and spiritual realms.
Like a volcanic eruption, the Ghanaian have consciously gone in a hibernation, building a momentous momentum ready to fully erupt with a force never seen in the pugilist world come May 11th.
Today the former bantamweight world champion sent a coded message to the world
“May 11…..watch me become a 2 time world champion.” Dogboe posted for the first time in a while.
Convention Center, Tucson, Arizona, USA will host the the young Ghana boy from the Volta Region of a highly religiously country making a volcanic comeback as never seen before.
The argument of a 5inch high advantage over Dogboe does not wash. To understand the basis, one has to watch the recent fight between Saul Canelo Alvarez and Rocky Fielding, and there are many examples to it.
The 5.2 foot Ghanaian is a brute puncher, a classic boxer who ticks all the boxes. Isaac Dogboe can fight from the inside or outside depending on the tactics that Navarrete employs.
Navarrete’s weight must be critically watched from the weigh-in. It was blatantly obvious that aside the fact that Isaac Dogboe never had a good training camp and by extension underrated the boxer, Navarrete dehydrated and rehydrated after the make-weight.
In the 7th round of their last encounter in December 2018, we saw how Dogboe hurt Navarrete with some few body hooks and occasional combinations.
Navarrete’s game plan is simple, keep Dogboe at bay with jabs and constant attacks just like Errol vs Mikey Garcia.
Dogboe gave Navarrete the opportunity to have a feel of world titleship and now is the divine christened time to take back what is his.
Come Saturday the 11th of May, when you hear the beats drum in the typical Ghanaian Agbaja fashion, know the the African gods are ready to take back the title in a storm that is only sunanimous with Royalty.
Make no mistake this is not a revenge fight, for vengeance is the Lords. This fight is clear, and simply rewriting the wrongs.
Navarrete must fall.
