I just watched Judah Matthysse again and im not sure i have it as close as people keep saying. He won more of the first 5-6 rounds than i thought he did, and dominated the second half of the fight winning most of the rounds and getting the KD.
Maybe i score body punches higher than most? i dunno but thats what i saw though...
Also the commentary was hilariously bad, they barely even noticed Lucas battering him to the body until they saw the compubox stat. Every time Zab threw a punch they went crazy, but everytime Matthysse did they just carried on talking about something else.
I count body punches(more then most)and I still had Judah winning by a rd...Matt's just was not bizzy enough imo...He let rds slip away,same goes for the Alexander fight..Which I thought was closer then people make it seem..
Big fan of Matthysse, he was robbed against Alexander FOR SURE! The Zab fight though I thought Zab out-boxed him early then Matthysse made it a close fight towards the end but Zab barely held on I thought or at best they could have called it Draw so I don't consider that "ROBBERY"
Robbery is Richard Abril vs Brandon Rios or Erislandy Lara vs Paul Williams...people scream Robbery even for close fights

Yeah i saw it close the first time, except with a close Matt win.
I find it funny people think Matthysse will steam roll anyone at 140, when the two best fighters he faced, Judah and Alexander......he didn't steam roll and kill either of them.
But all you hear on here is how Matthysse will slaughter anyone and everyone, and beat the s**t out of god himself.
Seriously, Matthysse went from being underrated to a bit overrated.
lol i love it when people get exposed like that. someone clearly didn't watch the fight lol. 8 rounds to 4 in a 10 rounder, too too funny...

devon beat lucas. zab fight can be argued imo, but devon clearly outboxed him with his atrocious and horrible style.
in any case, lucas is a beast and he needs to get bigger fights. i dont see him as underrated, i see him as exactly where he is
lol did YOU watch the fight? i don't think devon even landed one meaningful punch in that entire fight. all he did was circle away from lucas after he got his punk ass knocked down. he was getting battered near the end of the fight. crazy that you could comfortably say that. the dude won like 2 rounds point blank. you couldn't really say the rounds were close and you couldn't pick a winner, it wasn't that type of fight. devon was clearly beat.

I haven't seen either fight in a while, but I remember having Matthysse winning both times. Just looking at the compubox numbers Matthysse both outlanded and out-threw both Judah and Alexander:
Matthysse v. Judah (Lucas more than doubled Judah's power punches)
Lucas Matthysse was busier, landed more punches in the fight and the harder punches. Devon Alexander was down in the fourth, but still managed to secure a ten round split decision victory. As Max Kellerman would ask, "who would you rather have been be in this fight?" And the answer is simple - Matthysse.
You also have to take into account the knockdown in both fights and the fact that Matthysse hits a lot harder than either guy. Regardless, I would have to rewatch both fights again to really assess how the rounds played out.
