Dogboe-Magdaleno bout difficult to predict - Bob Arum

Dogboe-Magdaleno will clash on April 14th Dogboe-Magdaleno will clash on April 14th

Veteran boxing promoter, Bob Arum, says it is very difficult to predict the outcome of the clash between Ghana’s Isaac Dogboe and Mexico’s Jessie Magdaleno.

Dogboe-Magdaleno will clash on April 14th for the WBO World super bantamweight belt at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, USA.

And ahead of the fight, Arum believed both fighters have equal chance of winning.

“That’s going to be a really good fight,” Arum said. “It’s a 50-50 fight, I think. Both guys can really hit.”

The upcoming fight will be Magdaleno’s second of defense his WBO belt.

Dogboe knocked out Cesar Juarez in the fifth round in an action-packed fight on Jan. 6 in Accra, Ghana, to win the vacant interim title and set himself up for the mandatory shot against the silky Mexican.
