    I actually watch it twice, like I said 96-93 to either fighter was wrong. It was a close fight, far from a robbery. People were influence by these two fighters last fights and thats how they are choosing, but when you actually watch the fight and score it round by round this fight is a lot closer than you think.

    I scored it 6-4 for Matthysee. That's 96-93. I could see it being scored 5 rounds a piece. Either way, Matthysee clearly won that fight.

    I saw the fight 7-3 Matthysse, could see 6-4, and "giving" Alexander every benefit of the doubt 5-5. Matthysse simply did the better work in most of the rounds, and dominated several rounds. Alexander was able to put hands on Matthysse but landed very little of consequence, throwing mostly shoeshine shots and keep away punches rather than sitting down on his shots. It was a clear robbery.

    Right he didnt dominate round 7 and 8 were he was tagging Devon at will and had him hurt :lol:

    **** off with this whole "the fight could of gone either way" bull****. Lucas won that fight clearly, period.

    This was not a close fight unless you're the sort window licker who thought DA beat Kotelnik. Alexander got beat up in the 2nd half of the fight and got a gift. Imo he's lost his last 3 fights.

    Anyway reppin501 said mathysse didn't dominate anything but the 4th round......

    I guess he forgot to watch the 7th and 8th.......

    Ok so the first 3 rounds to Alexander then..... Plus 6th and 9th which, from your perspective, could've went either way....

    3 + 2 = 5

    Now mathysse the other 5 rounds + kd = at Least a one Point win!!!

    Says the devil worshipper who has the 666. The fact is the fight was close.

    It seemed to me DA got a gift. Looked like Matthyse was up at least a rd or so. But, to be honest, I wasn't scoring this fight meticulously rd by rd.

    Roy was right that DA has problems with fatigue. But, he fought well considering his last performance. Considering his support from the network, the fact that he was in his hometown, etc., if this fight was close at all, I didn't expect Devon to lose this one.

    After each guy's last few fights though, I think Khan beats Devon, convincingly, and Matthyse is the truth.

    I had it 96-94 in favor of Lucas, Close fight no doubt, But I can also see how one would feel there was a robbery, a few of the early rounds were close in which I gave them to Devon but easily could have given them to Lucas, if you did give them to lucas and add up your card in the end you have a much wider score, and then to hear the judges call off these scores..

    Lets be real Devon is a Don King fighter you already know he has the benefit of the doubt.. Though i felt he lost clearly

    A close fight !!!!!
    Sturm vs Macklin was close fight,but even being biased and blind you couldn't have had Alexander vs Matthyse any closer than 96-94 for Matthyse.
    How the **** do some posters justify making comments about Brittards,*******s,*****'s etc when they post **** like this ?

    That knock down was too big to over come. It was a close fight, but Lucas won
