Chiesa did most of his offence early in the first. Then Dodson took over after that and COMPLETELY DESTROYED Chiesa...like...he was JUST short of the record for most damage done in a single fight. Totally not what I expected from a man a whole foot shorter than his opponent. This is also the most one-sided I have ever seen a judges decision too. ComPLEtelY NUtS!!!
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
