You're making the false assumption that the only advantage males have over females are T levels. This couldn't be further from the truth. Women can dope on T for decades and have extremely high levels, but still handily lose a powerlifting competition to a man with lower T. This is a common misconception among non-athletes, they reduce everything to T when T is just one factor in the equation.
This individual has a male musculoskeletal system which is trivially observed by the naked eye. That alone provides an absurd level of advantage in fighting sports that I shouldn't have to explain why, you're smart and can understand this.
They have lost alot of matches because this particular individual is outclassed by amateur and casual male fighters - they're just that bad. But having the male frame is still enough of an advantage for them to tighten up their skills and win against women.
this fighter in her career is 47-9, with 7 kos. all of their fights are vs women. so your last bit doesnt make much sense.
T levels arent the end all be all, they're just the indicator. a woman with more T naturally will develop a more muscular frame. any person with eyes has seen dozens or hundreds in their lives and not thought much of it.
when people claim this woman has some out of character physique it just suggest to me they havent seen much female boxing. female boxers regularly have solid male looking biceps and developed shoulders. they hit a heavy bag and spar for hours per day as well as lift weights.
honestly though im not arguing from a standpoint that you're 100% wrong. maybe she blood dopes, maybe she has a literal unfair biological advantage, etc. its the hubris to claim you somehow figured this our with your eyeballs, and that everyone else is blind and not as smart or knowledgeable about athletics, that is just incorrect. the olyimpics is filled with the pinnacle of athletic individuals from the globe, and women all over the world have differing physiology. some skinny woman has a bit of muscle and silly people say "thats a man, my eye can tell", which is funny to me. i grew up around plenty of farm girls that had bigger muscles from a life of doing dairy chores.
