    If Alexander vs Matthysse was a 12 rounder?

    Does Alexander make the final bell against Matthysse in a 12 rounder? He looked absolutely shattered towards the end of the fight, rallied well in the 9th but that was an anomaly. The 8th and 10th looked pretty bad for Devon, would he have been able to take two more rounds?

    He obviously would have paced himself differently but still...

    abosolutely not. queen devon thought he was going to run and get the easy 10 rd decision. he was beat up, hurt to the body and head and would not have survived.

        No. Absolutely not. Alexander is a bum. They knew how dangerous Matthyisse is in later rounds so they made this joke of a 10 round fight.

          I think it is about 50-50 whether he last all 12 rounds or not. He surely would have lost those rounds and possibly have been KOed. Matthysse is good at finishing guys off.

            I think he lasts, but hits the canvas one more time. Alexander is a tough dude, the only question about his heart coming against Bradley, which was a dubious circumstance all around.
