Reallly? This is a travesty? Nick Charles dying yesterday is a travesty. Matthysse losing a close decision is not.

Whoever Said Alexander Was Any Good To Start With!

"Rapid movement" from this fool means he was on his bike afraid to get hit by a guy with a ton of knockouts. Devon was scared. To give him credit for "hanging in there showing heart"???? Where else could he go; it hurts to get KO'd. Look, this Alexander rube is nowhere as good as everyone painted him to be. He beat some tomato cans then got scared in his last two fights against B-level fighters. Alexander is like a Mark Breland or a Meldrick Taylor. The glamour boy with all the press and headlines. Until you put some hard hitting talent in with them, and then Alexander's butt hole puckers up and he gets scared. Devon is not long for getting seriously knocked out. Quit thinking this guy is any good. Put him in the ring with Maidana and see what happens. He'll be making girl noises everytime he gets hit, like Marvis Frazier did against Mike Tyson.

Larry merchant had Lucas winning. I had it the same. But, I was not surprise Devon got the nod. I actually thought the PR judge was ganna give lucas the edge but he didn't. I believe it was the KANSAS judge that did.

Blame Lucas for not dominating the later rounds. He knew he was in hostile grounds. This is just JUDAH all over again. Lucas is strong and he will be back.

Yeah I had Lucas winning (close fight though) and Alexander got the nod I believe because he was fighting at home. But please what is with the rascism! It's not alexander's fault blame the judges or don king! I also thought the kotelnik fight was more of a robbery, this was a closer fight.

Fight was definitely close but still Lucas clearly won, judging by both statistics and common sense. Who would you have rather been in this fight?

No, bull**** decisions and corruption áre bad for a sport, people dying on old age is normal, these things happen, ******ed decisions don't have to. I like Alexander but 96-93, are you ****ing kidding me?!

[jtiger777]

close fight i think Devon lost but LOL at all the crying from u people on here

[TaurusJ27]

I thought alexander was going to get k.0.'d in the seventh or eigth round. He was nailed with shots.

[Ringlife]

I had Matthysse winning 96 to 93 Alexander making noise every time he punch and not doing anything to Matthysse face now that's funny Larry Marchant not giving alexander credit was classic.
