I thought each fighter won 6 rounds with Matthysse getting a 10-8 round. Fight was close, but Matthysse won by 1 point, IMO.
However, I don't really like to complain about that fight. I think Matthysse screwed himself over in that 9th round. Matthysse had built himself a lead and it looked like he was on his way to a UD. But for some reason he let Alexander come back and win the 9th round and then had a close 10th round making the fight a lot closer then it should've been.
Matthysse had 2 dominate rounds and then let Alexander come back in the final 2 rounds. He dropped the ball and has no one to blame but himself for that loss.
