I'm a big Dober guy. But there is an interesting way in which it's the mechanics of his punches that cost him the fight. He throws those thumb down punches, ala Igor Vovchencyan or Fedor. Even his straight involve him turning over his hip and forearm. You get incredible amount of thud this, especially if you have a big ol booty. But the problem is that your hand doesn't naturally recoil after the punch. Watch someone with classical boxing throw a punch, like Ortega most recently. The punches path out is _the exact same as the path back_. It flows out, it flows back with elastic force. Also, it comes straight back, along the path it took out.
But, if like Dober, you throw even your 'straight punches' with incredibly turn over, you can't pull them back without tremendous effort and without pulling them back by a different trajectory. He can't take advantage of the elastic effect because he doesn't throw them outward but but over and down. The upshot: Dober ate 30 or so right hand counters to his straight. Legit, 30 counters. One of which almost got him finished. He could not stop that counter the entire fight. And the reason is entirely because his hand wasn't coming back because he is using a particular punching mechanic.
