This was all Oliviera but by a tiny bit. Does that make sense? He won every round (except 4 - we'll come back to that) by a bit. A NOTICEABLE bit, but only a bit none the less. Now then Round 4 comes around and Dodson is like, "whoa, shit. I am losing hardcore here," and picks it up many notches. He does pretty big damage in round 4. But then goes back to getting slightly dominated for the last round. I wonderted if his onslaught in round 4 was enough to give him the fight (since, again, it goes by who won the fight, not by who won more rounds). But nah, judges liked 22 mins of control and small damage more than 3 mins of medium sized damage.
Charles Oliveira is calm in his corner. He looks convinced of his abilities.

This was all Oliviera but by a tiny bit. Does that make sense? He won every round (except 4 - we'll come back to that) by a bit. A NOTICEABLE bit, but only a bit none the less. Now then Round 4 comes around and Dodson is like, "whoa, shit. I am losing hardcore here," and picks it up many notches. He does pretty big damage in round 4. But then goes back to getting slightly dominated for the last round. I wonderted if his onslaught in round 4 was enough to give him the fight (since, again, it goes by who won the fight, not by who won more rounds). But nah, judges liked 22 mins of control and small damage more than 3 mins of medium sized damage.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
