I had Matt's winning this fight tbh,but I watch it back again and I can see how Devon won it..He was active and had some good rds himself..This was a much closer fight then when he fought Kottie tbh..I had Matt's by a rd and watching it back I had the same Matt's by a rd..The only problem I have with this fight was that it was in the lou and felt like Matt's was jobbed..If they gave that same decision anywhere else I don't think Alexander would have caught the same heat he did for winning this fight..Thoughts??
It was an outright robbery.And if you're not completely inept in scoring a fight,and if you're no easily swayed by Alexander's girly/pansy-like grunts,you'll know that Matthysse won almost every round from the fourth on.
Alexander truly is an embarrassment to this sport.How can you call yourself a boxer and throw "punches" in the manner does Alexander does? I've seen greater power and technique shown in schoolyard fights growing up than what I've seen from Alexander.He's absolutely repulsive to watch.
You can't just focus on who was landing punches and winning the fight to determine who won though. Who looked prettier throwing punches? Who had more of a textbook style? Who had more speed?
Lol, I should bump that thread, where the guy said Alexander deserved to win because he had more speed and his punches were prettier. That was funny stuff.
LMAO:lol1::lol1:
On one side you have Team Alexander, Alexander's family and a bunch of retards that can't score a fight to save their lives. These people thought Alexander won.
On the other side you have everyone else who thought Mathysse won

This fight was a lot clearer to me than the Kotelnik fight, Lucas won plain and simple no two ways about it, the kotelnik fight was more difficult to score and I initially had that fight for Devon until I watch it again.
Mathhyse clearly won,alexander may hav been busier but his punches hardly landed and had no affect at all mathhyse landed the cleaner harder shots rd after round.
Lucas dominated rounds 7,8,10th & got the 10-8 round in round 4.That leaves 6 extra rounds correct??Now all 6 of those rounds were indeed close.IMO Lucas should have gotten at least 2 of those.I gave him the 2nd & 3rd.
I beleive he won that fight convincingly & he will get another fight on hbo.Boxing has a great story with this kid.Does anyone else realizre that Mattysse has boxed evenly with 2 of boxing's most naturally gifted fighters??
He is not the average power puncher,he has skill & better than average spead.He sparrs with Martinez.I'm sure he'll be a champ some day.That kid has got the goods.He kinda looks & fights similar to Tzu to me,lol!!
This above me.^^^^^^
I had Lucas winning 7 rounds to 3 plus a KD, its a clear robbery. Even if you give Devon 2 more rounds he still loses because of the KD.
I might watch the fight again but i don't really want to because the 2 times i have watched it, it has pissed me off.
Close but clear for Matthysse. I had him winning five rounds clearly - all he needs when you factor in the knockdown - but I also felt that there were one or two other rounds that could be scored either way. I only felt that Alexander won three rounds clearly. Alexander is such a horrible fighter to watch, with his too-short air shots and power grunts.
I thought each fighter won 6 rounds with Matthysse getting a 10-8 round.
You do realise six plus six does not equal ten right?
(just messing by the way - I assume you meant five rounds a piece with the knockdown)
I thought each fighter won 6 rounds with Matthysse getting a 10-8 round. Fight was close, but Matthysse won by 1 point, IMO.
However, I don't really like to complain about that fight. I think Matthysse screwed himself over in that 9th round. Matthysse had built himself a lead and it looked like he was on his way to a UD. But for some reason he let Alexander come back and win the 9th round and then had a close 10th round making the fight a lot closer then it should've been.
Matthysse had 2 dominate rounds and then let Alexander come back in the final 2 rounds. He dropped the ball and has no one to blame but himself for that loss.
