Dennis Hogan’s camp writes formal letter to WBO disputing result of Saturday’s world title fight

Dennis Hogan is not prepared to lay down and accept the outcome of his shot at the WBO super-welterweight title.

Kildare-born Hogan slammed the judges' decision to award defending champion Jaime Munguia a majority decision victory on Saturday night, despite the popular opinion that Hogan had done enough to take home the belt. Munguia himself conceded that he didn't feel as though he had won as many rounds as the judges gave him and the controversial result in Munguia's native Mexico has led to calls for an immediate rematch on neutral ground. "I knew I won the fight. I knew it in my heart and soul," Hogan said after scorecards of 115-113 and 116-112 in favour of Munguia, as well as one 114-114 draw, were read out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMcrwqxxnqM "It’s so disappointing to train as hard as I did and for this to happen. We came here in good faith. It's no disrespect to anyone here – apart from the people who scored it and allowed this decision to go through. "Everybody knows. This is bad for boxing. It’s bad for me." According to Hogan, the offer of a rematch immediately after the fight represents an admission from Munguia that justice wasn't done in Monterrey. And Hogan's representative, Paul Keegan, has now revealed via Twitter that they have officially reached out to the WBO to complain about the scoring of the bout. https://twitter.com/paulkeegs/status/1118061540496723968
