Only a month to go until the Golovkin-Alvarez rematch. It will be interesting to hear people's thoughts on how this one will go? Canelo hasn't fought for a year due to his clenbuterol-related suspension and Golovkin's last outing was a 2nd round stoppage of Vanes Martirosyan back in May. Could be worth starting up a dedicated thread on this one Diehard?
Dogboe obliterates Otake in one
Undefeated WBO junior featherweight champion Isaac Dogboe, 121, made short work of his Japanese challenger, destroying Hidenori Otake, 121.4, in the opening round on Saturday night at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona. Dogboe started cautiously but as soon as he opened up he found a home for his uppercut and left hook. A picture perfect left hook upstairs sent Otake to the canvas and the Japanese challenger never fully recovered. Otake was dropped a second time with an overhand right and took a beating before referee Chris Flores waved it off at 2:18. With the win Dogboe improves to 20-0, 14 KOs while Otake falls to 31-3-3, 14 KOs.
