Thanks to the snooze fest this past weekend of Hernandez / Trinaldo, I think it'd be interesting to look back on fighters that never fully recovered from a knockout loss.
Prior to the Cowboy fight, Hernandez was essentially Daniel Cormier at LW. He would never take a back step and keep moving forward
Then he faced somebody that could pick him apart like Cowboy
Then Hernandez became gun shy. He wouldn't throw a strike against Trinaldo without running away right after.
On the flip side, there's fighters like Jose Aldo that come back stronger after getting knocked out. He was beaten for the first time in 10 years & knocked out for the first time in his whole career, then came back to do this.
So, what are some examples of fighters that never came back the same after being knocked out (became gun shy)
