I'm guessing it is because it was a split. Every time Devon landed something halfway decent the crowd went nuts. You could hear some people who knew what was really going on and were talking about how he was going to lose if he didn't step it up, but the majority were hometown people who were going to pick him to win as long as he was standing at the end.
Who deserved to win: Devon Alexander or Lucas Mathysse?

The East Side Boxing forum poll also has it pretty damn lopsided. 265 to 15

Of course, there's always a few idiots who don't know how to score a fight.Comment

Matthysse won. Me and my friend were there live and we had to secretly root for Matthysse the whole time because his Devon's hometown crowd in our area started to get a little bit hostile when they noticed Devon was getting beat. We knew what was going to happen before they even announced the scorecards, and actually I was surprised that one judge gave it to Matthysse. I thought they all would have given the hometown fighter the nod on their cards.Comment
