It's pretty clear that only certain rules apply to certain fights here.

Really Matthysse didn't do that much outside of rounds 4,7,8, those were big moments the most telling of the fight but they only count for so much~

And alexander only clearly won rd 9.......

You dont think mathysse did more in 10? R u serious?

[PRINCE O' PROSE]

I had Froch-Dirrell a draw, BTW, when I rewatched a couple weeks or so back.


Would've been a fair outcome, IMO.

Fights scored round by round tough luck that closer less damaging rounds count the same as beat down rounds~

Apparently those were the rounds, coupled with the KD, that clearly won him the fight

[Mitch5]

he didnt land more and effective? dude wtf? he was throwing ARM punches that DID NO DAMAGE. Lucas was tagging him with huge shots and sent him down. Devon was punching so light he wouldnt have knocked out a woman. wtf?

Lucas threw more, landed more, got the KD, he chased him around.

Devon ran around for 10 rounds yelling UGH UGH UGH everytime he threw his pitter patter soft punches and hung on for dear life.

Throwing a 4 punch combo that doesnt hit anything and grunting = effective punching

Getting hit in the face and going down = effective punching.

You wonder why people hate certain fighters? Because of posters like you who will never take their Horus shades off.

You make me sick.

Devon couldve been KD' in every round and throwing 5 punches a round and you still wouldve said "well he won the fight cuzz uhhh he is a slick boxer who avoided those shots and showed heart getting up, he should win because of his crisp running and dodging technique"

GTFO this is Boxing not Dancing with the stars or tennis.

This is the 2nd fight in a row at home he robs someone.

he wasnt talking about the alexander fight with that post.

Alexander could have won 5 of the first six rounds excluding 4~ he was landing more, throwing more and landing more head shots. Matthysse was landing good body shots which set up rounds 7 and 8 but he was unable to finish the job, in rounds 9 and 10.

Rounds are won whether they are won close or by a lot unless you are throwing Matthysse a 10-8 round

[Iamanidiot]

Devon Alexander is a joke, last night was a robbery.

Anyone that says otherwise is a biased prick.

[mushahadeen]

There is no doubt that this site is full of people that hate the United States and the people that live there. Last nights fight is just another example as to the hatred and the bias of many posters on this site.

Most argue that Lucas won his fight last night because he landed more and landed the harder punches, right? Yeah, that's the argument BUT the same people arguing that statement were the same people DEFENDING Carl Froch when he was awarded the victory against Andre Dirrell. Post after post was made saying you couldn't win that fight, in Frochs home, that you have to clearly beat him. Well, the problem is Dirrell did exactly what Lucas did last night. Not only did he out land Froch but majority of the heavy punches were also landed by Dirrell. The double standard still exists and part of me wishes Americans still cared about boxing. Most of you Europeans wouldn't even watch boxing if that was the case because your fighters would be looked at as stepping stones, and you wouldn't be able to **** ride.

um listen i'm n american n i wanted 2 bomb CANADA 4 hopkins vs. pascal. but clearly, matthyse was robbed.

don king + st. louis + underdog = last nite.

[Clegg]

Yeah, and people still ***** about Mayweather v Castillo. There is nothing wrong with bringing up past fights to show how ass backwards majority of these posters work. If Lucas won his fight on the road there isn't anything that person could say as to why Froch won his fight. What, because Dirrell moved backwards? Who cares when you land more punches and do more damage.

WTF are you on about with this 'majority' talk? The majority of posters had Dirrell winning and ranted on about it for ages afterwards...more than a year and a half afterwards, judging by this thread.

People ***** about Mayweather-Castillo because they're little crybaby children who hate that Mayweather is undefeated/successful and would rather obsess over a fight that happened years ago than discuss anything that doesn't cater to their narrow-minded blatanly-obvious incredibly pathetic bias. I agree with you that you're very similar to them, thanks for bringing it up.

The only 'ass backward' one is you, because instead of discussing the fight we're all talking about, you want to talk about a fight from 2009, due to the fact that it fits into your "Europeans rob people, America the brave, we're always impartial" bullshit worldview.

It really sucks that there are so many bad decisions in boxing. But the fact is that when it happens in your country, your main concern is trying to deflect attention from it by bringing up other bad decisions from the past.

I see that your ****-in-arms Kev has shown up to show his support. Wasn't he the same guy who said that Alexander deserved the decision over Kotelnik because he threw 1000 punches? That's the ideological company you're in Check, cong****. Hopefully the two of you can work together for the ******ed arguments you'll be making next time Devon gets a decision he doesn't deserve.

You better watch what you say boy! If you say anything good about an American fighter they call you nationalistic and they threaten to beat you senseless if you step a foot into their country.

[The Gambler1981]

And no I didn't find round 10 very decisive at all
