Is John Dodson another example of a fighter who has looked less impressive since USADA?

6-1 before usada started testing july 2015

4 knockouts

Knockdowns in nearly every fight.

---------------------------------

2-3 since july 2015 ( not counting his split decision win tonight)

1 tko win against a worn chin in Manvel Gamburyan

Rest are decisions.

Doesnt seem to have the same punching power or aggression as before.


Do you see a difference in his perfomance or just tougher competition, injuries, ect?
 
His knock out power is all but gone.

I think Greg Jackson's gym has a ton of users of PEDs
 
KO Power at 125
Now at 135

Is normal
 
DJ not USADA
 
He also moved up 10 lbs to a different weight class.
This thread is stupid

His losses outside of the MM fight have been very close too.

He moved back up to a higher weight class. He looks tiny in there now. He arguably won a few of those decisions that didn't go his way. He has to play it safe because some of these guys at 135 have heaps of size on him.
 
I think he's one of those guys who's KO power doesn't translate up in weight, so now he has to rely on lots of activity and point fighting to win.

You're gonna see him in lots of splits decisions like he's been in.
 
Jesus christ, fighters decline. Competition gets better. Guys figure guys out. Stop claiming USADA every time a fighter doesn't look as good as they used to

Before July 2015 the guy had a 17-6 record. He was never a perfect fighter, and now he's an imperfect older fighter with his first pro fight being 14 years ago.

Anyone who has their mind jump to USADA over this kinda shit is a dumbass

Although I hate it, I can't disagree with this post. He was still connecting tonight, but never hurt Munhoz once.

EDIT: @Sonny Qc mentioned his move up in weight class and that is a valid explanation. I hope that's why his power has diminished and not PED's

Didn't seem to hurt Lineker. He rocks guys still
 
He looks the same. He is just fighting better fighters now that are also bigger and can take his power. The guy he fought tonight belongs at 145, not surprising he can take Dodson's punches.
