    That's ****ing stupid to have as a general rule, sorry. That isn't necessarily how it's going to work out any given time. Sometimes there's a minimum or maximum # of rounds you can reasonably see for one guy.

    well Lucas clearly won rds 6,7,8,10 and the 4th was 10-8 with the KD so that right there is a win, i also gave him the 2nd. So by my math that equates to some more hypejob airpunching robbery.

    :huh

    I'm not blaming Alexander for the judge's decision. I'm blaming Alexander for his poor showing. He looked uncomfortable in his own skin. The best he could come up with were the stay-away-from-me flurries that we've become accustomed to seeing from him in his last few fights. He didn't look composed at all. He looked like an amateur.

    :deal

    And let's not forget that the fight should have been 12 rounds to begin with.

    The game is rigged!

    I think devin bagged the early rounds and he was not getting touched except to the body a little early meanwhile he was "scoring" like an amateur. His best shot did not hurt matthyse and I guess he thought he could bc he traded punches. The knockdown and rd 10 was all matthyse. 96-93 is bs. Tell it like it is. A close fight with a clear winner. Such a thing does exist.

    Decent fight tonight, I had Matthysee winning by a point. I had it 5-5 in rounds and the knock down swings it to Matthysee. I don't have a big problem with Alexander winning since it was close but Matthysee deserved the decision tonight.

    rofl at people being so outraged about this fight. If you guys really think that fight was a robbery, then you haven't been watching boxing very long. Most people here had this thing 95-94 for either fighter.

    Exactly.

    Modern boxing. Most hyped fighter, usually based on nationality, ****s with all the rules, including number of rounds, catchweights, gloves, size of ring, even rules on whether inside fighting will be allowed, etc.
    And if all else fails, as long he doesn't lose by more than 3 points gets the decision.

    I had Alexander winning by a point. So, I don't really see why everyone is so disappointed. It was his home town as well, so you should have expected this to begin with.
