HBOS Hack Job actually made people think that fight was close.

[Loque-san]

Lucas fans think he wins all his fights by landslide. Just like zab and Devon were CLOSE. This was a close fight quit crying he won. Barely

Some of his fans are truly annoying. Thank God I became a fan of Matthysse before I met (on the internet) these biased fanboys, they might have made me hate the guy.

[PlasterWraps]

I thought it was close, I had it 7-5 Matthysse.

When they did trade those left hooks it seemed that Provo got the better of it though, so I can understand why the punch was scored more towards him. Good fight, can't believe Matthysse stayed on his feet with that hook that landed on the 11th.

Most people don't score fights and then are outraged in the end because it doesn't line up with their perception of the fight. Overall Lucas clearly commanded the fight but based on rounds it was close.

I always chat on sherdog and score the fight there. Not one guy had a score much different then mine. The boxing forum there is small and has knowledge posters unlike this **** nest.

I had it 9-3 Lucas. Lederman was was giving Ruslan pity rounds for not getting completely destroyed and landing some big shots of his own.

[The Gambler1981]

Ruslan was always closing the rounds well, for lack of a better term he was pulling the Ray Leonard winning the last 30 seconds (sometimes).

There were very few rounds where Ruslan was doing more over the whole 3 minutes.

HBO was giving provo rds where all he did wad land a big punch at the end?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed.

Wow. I'm disgusted. Lederman and Lampley are hacks. You could tell bhop knew what was really up.

120 more punches landed. Landing at nearly 50% and that was a close fight. No. A couple flurry and 1 hard shot a rd don't undo everything earlier in the Rd.

I feel like I'm in Lala land

But the right guy one. Thank god.

What do you expect from the HBO announcing team? While watching the Crawford/Dulorme fight, I said to myself 'you can always tell who the HBO guys are rooting for.'

I scored it 8-4 Provo

Lucas was clinching and landing touch jabs that weren't doing anything

What hack job? They didn't influence the judges... They also agreed it was a close fight.
