Ramirez will enter the ring with a near-perfect professional record of 11-1, including seven knockouts and four decisions. His only defeat came in his professional debut when he lost a split decision against Adan Gonzales back in 2019.

He's won his last three in a row via stoppage, beating Eric Donovan in the third-round, then claiming the vacant WBO Global and USBA featherweight titles with a fifth-round KO of Abraham Nova. His last performance was arguably his best, stopping Jose Matias Romero in the ninth round back in October 2022.

You can bet on Ramirez to extend his winning run and add the WBO featherweight crown to his list of achievements at -650, meaning you must best $650 to earn a $100 profit.

He'll stand across the ring from the more experienced Dogboe, who has a professional record of 24-2 with 16 knockouts and eight decision wins. His two defeats came in back-to-back fights against Emmanuel Navarrete, who claimed a unanimous decision in their first fight to claim the WBO Junior featherweight title before knocking him out in the final round of their rematch back in 2019.

Since then Dogboe has won four-in-a-row, stopping Chris Avalos before consecutive decision wins against Adam Lopez, Christopher Diaz and Joet Gonzalez.

If you are backing Dogboe to claim the shock win, you can bet on him at a best price of +425, meaning you will win $425 for every $100 you bet on him.

Robeisy Ramirez vs Isaac Dogboe preview

Ramirez is a very accomplished amateur fighter with two Olympic gold medals to his name while representing his nation Cuba. Other than the blip in his debut, he's looked formidable in the pro game too with his speedy hands and great combinations.

At 29, Ramirez earned his first title shot due to his sound technical skills. At 5’5” and with a reach of 68.1”, Ramirez combines speed and power in this southpaw fighting stance. Ramirez is ranked number two in the WBO’s featherweight division, behind only his opponent in this fight.

After three successful outings in 2022, you would expect momentum should carry into this year’s first fight. As a result, Ramirez will enter this match in top form, leading most boxing predictions in his favor. Most fans and bettors expect Ramirez to control this fight from the start, and so do we.

Dogboe enters this fight standing at 5’2” with a 66.1” reach. He uses an orthodox fighting stance, leading him to the number one spot in the WBO featherweight division rankings. His three-inch height disadvantage against Ramirez may significantly impact the Ghanaian-British fighter’s ability to control the bout.

It's fair to say that Dogboe is the more powerful of the two, and the opposite stances open up the chance for him to land his power punches more successfully. But after just one bout in 2022 it's possible he won't be as sharp as we've previously seen him.

Boxing picks: Ramirez to win on points

Stylistically this is a really interesting match up to decipher who the number one featherweight in the world is.

Ramirez will almost certainly win a traditional boxing match between the two because of his added size and technical attributes, but Dogboe has got great durability and will push the pace hard to ensure he gets the win.

However it simply cannot be forgotten that this is the first time in his rather fledgling professional career that Ramirez is scheduled to go for 12-rounds against a world class opponent, and that could have an effect as we get into the latter stages of the fight.

We don't know if his speed and movement will hold up for the full 12 rounds, although he looked good when he claimed the stoppage win in the 10th last time out. We know that Dogboe can go the distance and an control fights, but this is a different level.

So far in his career when he's come up against the best he has fallen short, and this seems like another occasion that will be just too much for him.

Expect Ramirez to use his reach and jab to perfection all night while landing the bigger shots early on, racking up enough of the early rounds that even if he does fall flat later in the fight he can claim the decision in a close fight.
