    It was close fight TBH. I agree with Lederman card 95-94 for Mathysse. Rounds 4,7,8,10 were clearly after Mathysse and all other rounds were close, where edge always goes to hometown boxer.

      It was close but clear. Matthysse deserved the decision clearly despite the fact that it's difficult to give it to him by more than a couple of rounds. As a few other posters have said, it's clear that he won at least five of the ten rounds and therefore when you take into account the knockdown, it should make it a close but clear decision in Matthysse's favour.

        Robbery. Just like with the Kotelnik fight, where there were 7 rounds Kotelnik clearly won, there were 5 rounds Matthysse clearly won. Add in the knockdown and there's no way you can argue Alexander won, and I don't think you can even argue he earned a draw.

        I can't see any argument that Alexander won enough rounds to even pull a draw, let alone win.

          Another robbery for Alexander. 7 rounds to 3 Mathysse. It was probably worse than the Kotelnik robbbery.

            I thought the Kotelnik fight was worse. Even in the close rounds Alexander won in that fight Kotelnik landed better punches.

              Alexander hardly won a single round convincingly.

              Going into round 6 I said to myself; I bet this will be another Don King robbery.

                Did you see the 9th round? Alexander won that beyond clearly. I gave Lucas the 7th VERY cleary.

                Every round besides those 2 were close.

                    i dont usually go by the compubox, but when one fighter is scoring the heavier, more meaningful shots i like to compare. not only did Lucas outpunch Alexander, but he was connecting with the heavier shots. please explain how someone loses in this position.

                      I would say no not a robbery,I had Lucas winning by a rd but in a fight that close you can't really call robbery..But I think everyone including Devon himself knew he lost that fight..He was more beat up,he also was backing up and not engaging in the Championship rds..Devon got a hometown decision for sure but I don't think you can call it a robbery..I know it does not really make sense but just how I feel..
