Lucas Matthysse: I was robbed again. And I was the more superrior fighter tonight, you know? I had great preparation and I won.

BoxingScene.com: Were there any concerns about the judging or the referee tonight or how you were treated in the ring?

LM: The referee did  a great job. There was a lot of holding going on, but I believe that the judges were watching a different fight.

BoxingScene.com: Was there a particular card, like, perhaps the 96-93 card that bothered you the most?

LM: Just the entire decision and how they went about it bothered me. I'm just very upset right now. This is something that it's going to take a while for me to process it. I just know that I got robbed again. This was not a good night for boxing. Once again, boxing got hurt again. This is a big black eye. This is not the sort of decision that reflects well in boxing today.

BoxingScene.com: Do you not think that you got enough credit for anything in particular, such as your body shots?

LM: You know what, I definitely worked the body and hurt him to the body. I hurt him in the fight. Look at his face and look at my face. That right there shows a lot.

BoxingScene.com: What does Devon Alexander do well?

LM: You know, he's a very slick fighter. He was slick. He's a good fighter, but not a great fighter. I was just a couple of inches short of knocking him out.

BoxingScene.com: Are there any points in the fight that you would like to have back, like, a point where maybe you should have pressed your advantage more?

LM: No, you know, he's very slick, and he is smart. He did what he had to do to get the hell out of there when he was hurt. I did what I had to do, and that's just the way that it goes, man.

BoxingScene.com: When you said that you were training to knock out Devon Alexander, that there was a chance that in your mind that you would not be favored in a decision?

LM: Absolutely. 110 percent. That was something that I definitely had in mind, and my whole team knew that and felt that way.
