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.
Matthysse vs Alexander a "gift" or "robbery?

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.Comment

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.Comment

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

Alexander hardly won a single round convincingly.
Going into round 6 I said to myself; I bet this will be another Don King robbery.Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment

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..Comment
