A disappointed Joet Gonzalez, who spoke after the fight, expressed his dissatisfaction with the results from the judges.
According to him, he wants a rematch to settle his score with Dogbe, who was adjudged winner in the final eliminator bout for a shot at a world title fight.
“It was a close fight, and I saw on the scoreboard that they had it in a draw, and some people had it me winning because they said I landed more punches than him,” Joet Gonzalez said.
“Close fight, and I thought I won the fight; I stunned him; he didn’t land too many clean shots. I was pushing him, and he was holding on most of the time, and I thought I won the fight,” he added.
Joet Gonzalez said, “If I can get a rematch, I hope I get it, but I just have to go back to the gym and make some changes, and I will be back.
The Ghanaian boxer has now set his sights on becoming a two-time world champion following his victory over the American.
The win means Dogboe now has a world championship fight and could have the championship belt around his waist again if he defeats his next opponent.
Dogboe can either opt for a WBC, WBO or an IBF title fight.
