Does Maidana need a KO to win?

[bojangles1987]

I agree with the 119-110 score being a robbery in a close fight. However, the cards were much closer in both of Devon's controversial fights. Hence while I think they were fair judging.

Hell, I had Alexander losing to Mattysee, but I can see why the judges scored it the way they did so I have no problem with it. I think no matter how I personally scored a fight, as long as I can see how a fight could have gone the other way I don't have a problem with it.

There is no basis for 8-4 in Alexander's favor in the Kotelnik fight. Complete robbery, and it wasn't fair.

All good, I can see where you're coming from and can respect that.

At the end of the day I'm just hoping for a good fight, I like both guys.

KO or no win for Maidana. Which is bull****, because it changes the way people have to approach a fight.

[EveryDayDrew]

You guys act like Maidana was going to box with the guy anyways. They both have something to prove. Alexander is NOT looking for a gift decision...I don't see why he would want that type of reputation...its not exactly like St Louis loved either of those decisions anyways...If anything his stock lowered after his last few fights but I could see Maidana accepting a 10 rounder simply because he doesnt think that Alexander will last that long with him...and I LIKE that attitude...I am not anticipating a decision anyways...both have tasted the canvas so a KO could go to either fighter.

i can't. mattysee clearly won at least 5 rounds and had a knockdown. i can't see a possible way for alexander winning unless you are corrupt/incompetent moron aka an official judge who gives a clear mattysee round to alexander because you want him to win. which is exactly what happened.

Different judges like different things. Herold Lederman had the fight heavily in Alexander's favor. Like him or not he's a respected judge who knows what he's doing, he just likes to see different things in a fight.

I hear ya, I like em both too and I am gonna be at the fight so I am hoping it's a good one.

Don't like that it is a ten round fight cause those two guys have been fighting top opposition for a while already and they are comming in at 147.

The weight might help Alexander more than anybody in this fight. If Maidana doesn score a clear KO he will lose.

I say this fight Alexander is going to win by DQ

yes he knows what he's doing. shilling for hbo fighters and making them appear as if they are winning when they really aren't. the only time he will score a fight for the other guy is if the hbo fighter is washed up. just look at paul williams. he scored the quintana-williams fight for williams, but then lara-williams for lara and it was like the same exact fight the only difference was williams was finished as hbo's product so they gave up on him. there's no way he can be that incompetent and inconsistent. it's deliberate.

I really can't argue with someone who thinks like you. If you can't respect the most respectable people in the sport than I don't know what to say.

IDK what I'm thinking though, the TS thought Don King has been rigging Devon's fights for years. Some people on here are really dilusional.

IT will be a Draw

Whether controversial or not, the fight will end in a draw. Yeah, i said it first.
