Lucas Matthysse was busier, landed more punches in the fight and the harder punches. Devon Alexander was down in the fourth, but still managed to secure a ten round split decision victory. As Max Kellerman would ask, "who would you rather have been be in this fight?" And the answer is simple - Matthysse.

There was big momentum shifts, round momentum swung to Lucas after dropping the first 3 rounds, it swung back to Alexander in the 5th carried through the 6th, once again momentum swung back to Lucas for the 7th and carried through the 8th, Devon brought back momentum in the 9th. These rounds stand out to the judges. The 10th could be scored in favor of Lucas of Lucas for pressure, pushing Devon back, or for Devon accuracy of power shots, either the 10th didn't matter on my scorecards which was Alexander - 1,2,3,5,6,9 Lucas - 4,7,8,10 you can argue for Lucas but you can't call it a robbery.

How can Matthysse be a part of this and complain about last night? Watch this from the 4:00 to the 5:00 mark!
Can't blame matthyse for that, but wow. Poor Vivian Harris, he had the skills and technique, but ended up w a terrible career.

The fight was close, I don't know why people make it sound like a robbery. I'm no Alexander fan, but I easily gave him at least 5 rounds. One judge had it by 1 point for Alexander.
So this is far from a bad robbery IMO. Matthyse will be back on hbo, we got a very good fight, everyone wins IMO.

Matthysse is saved by the Ref!
Yes he won round 10! Did you see compubox? Devon landed more and was more accurate in the 10th round winning the round and the fight.. I personally had it a draw but with the fight being in the Lou I already knew Devon would get the nod thats how it goes, and Lucas knows that, that's why he went for the KO, but came up short you don't win close fights in other fighters backyards had it been the other way around in Argentina and Devon scored a KD in a close to even fight Devon would have loss as fighters from here get robbed constantly over there...same shyt

Matthysse has been robbed twice, he needs to knock his opponents out to get a win. :davil2:
