I had it 114-113 Judah but I think the range of reasonable scores was 115-112 for Matthysse to 114-113 for Judah. All of the judges had scores within that range so I can't call it a robbery.
Slow start killed Lucas in this one and it's why he has an L on his record. He self admittedly started slow because the plan was to attack Judah in the late rounds since he's known to fizzle out. The problem with that is your banking on the judges scoring every single round for you down the stretch. Judges have different angles and look for different things from different perspectives so you can never go into a fight giving away rounds. Especially a nail biter like this one.
It's an underrated fight though and always sparks debates on what to look for when scoring rounds.
