Just looked it up, trainers! Why ffs.

Man, totally shot to utter sh!t there
First time I’ve watched it, his balance was gone. How did he get a license? Definition of a shot fighter here especially when you look at his earlier fights.

He hadn't fought for almost a year to the day either, just seems to me a typical Warren matchup between a young up and coming fighter and a shot formerly world class fighter to make his record look better.

Dodson was the Bollox an Unbelievable Amateur, seen him sparring at the time Super Heavyweight ABA Champion Dodson beat him up and put him over... A s a Pro he should of done so much more.

I watched a handful of Lloyds fights last night, I reckon he'd have had Starling if he boxed him the way he boxed Curry. Staggering how he switched from a skillful and clever boxer to a reckless brawler in such a short space of time.

Going back to Kirkland Laing the most talented who did not win the title etc.
In the end Dodson won nothing.
My pal fought him, got beat up, said he was def going to be a world champion. Dunno how hard he trained or maybe he just didn't like being punched back and lacked a bit of heart. I boxed on the same show He got done by the African in a big upset, still beat Paul Jones.
Being able to be top of your game at a given moment, responding well to the pressure is prob the biggest talent of all.

Had another watch of his win over Johnny Bumphus, poor Johnny was done for the moment that right hand dumped him on his arse in the first round he never recovered from that and as outrageous as Lloyds assault was at the start of the 2nd round the bell had gone to be fair. :lol:
