Another individual who spoke to TV3 was optimistic that the boxer could become a world champion again if he sticks to the principles of his new coach.
“I have watched a lot of Dogboe’s fights in the past, so I wanted to watch this to see if there has been an improvement and indeed there has been a lot of changes. His body swerves, jabs and pullovers are very good for me. His new coach should continue to train him to his best till we get the world title because it’s the world title that we want. So I urge Dogboe to train hard and learn more.”
Dogboe’s new trainer is known for coaching boxer Lamont Peterson, a three-time welterweight champion.
