In the second round, Navarrete landed a vicious body shot that hurt Dogboe. Navarrete continued to throw combinations that made Dogboe fight of his back foot. Dogboe was not able to adjust as he continued to apply ineffective pressure on Navarate.
Navarrete continued to make the champion fight off his back foot in the middle rounds. In the 7th Navarrete looked winded and danced the whole round. Dogboe got a second wind as he dominated the 8th round with pressure and body shots. Navarrete injured his right hand early in the fight, but he continued to throw combinations in the 9th round and continue to control of the match again.
