    Matthysse vs Alexander a "gift" or "robbery?

    I don't know how to put up a poll yet but just reply with your answer. I think the biggest debate is was it a gift or a robbery. It was a fun competitive fight and probably would have been a fight of the year candidate if not for the bad decision but I tend to think if everybody in the whole world besides Fat Dan and the judges think Devon lost then it's a robbery since nobody can come up with a reasonable debate of Devon actually deserving the win.

    Should have been 12 rounds though. Crazy how a 10 rounder main events after like 5 straight 12 rounders.

    I thought that two of the judges scorecard of 96-93 is just crazy...Neither fighter won that fight by 3 rounds/points. 95-94 was a perfect score for either fighter. And although I scored it 95-94 for Mathysse....this fight in no-way was a Robbery. People used the word "Robbery" so much...and most times it's only used when the fighter they DON'T LIKE wins...that doesn't make it a Robbery.

      I've said this like ten times tonight, but I'll say it again. A clear win is a clear win. Doesn't matter if it's by 1 point or 10. A clear win, and the judges award the other guy = robbery.

        Speculative.

          Matthysse won 9 rounds to 1, it was a highway robbery. That's it, now please stop with the threads.

          Yeah right, this will go on for a couple of more days until the Wlad-Haye fight gets more hype this week.

                    A robbery to me is that there is no possible reasonable explanation for the guy who won to really have won that fight. A gift I think is a fight that is so close it could have gone either way and the guy who won was lucky to receive that gift.
