Alexander vs Matthyse: A close fight is not a robbery

So Repin501 and Hussleman prove themselves to be nothing more than racially bias fanboys ..... big surprise.

 

Reppin501 isn't even black

Even worse... I'm sure he thinks he is though, just look at his name. It doesn't matter though, he can be racially bias toward black fighters, without being black himself.

 

a white boy reppin couldnt possibly have a racial bias.

 

exactly buncha crybabys on here. there's a fair bit of people on this site who I swear go against black american fighters in every fight no matter what and jump at any occasion to discredit them. There is no ****ing way in hell Matthysse won more than 6 rounds, it was close as **** and he only won 1 round in dominant fashion. you clowns need to understand the definition of robbery, it's not when the fighter you're cheering for loses an SD in a close fight. It was a good fight and Devon proved he's a lot more limited than people originally though but he showed heart and fought hard. I can see people scoring it for Matthysse but come on robbery? This is no Valuev vs Holyfield situation here

 

Jesus that dude is lurching

 

who, for example? i see all the pro black boxers, pro mexican boxers, pro british boxers, pro european boxers and pro filipino boxers. i dont see the anti black boxers you are ironically crying about.

 

Yea ok dude, you obviously didn't watch the fight.4,7,8,10 were CLEAR rounds for Mattysee. Lucas gets robbed and when people are mad you want to claim it's some conspiracy to bring down black fighters. Mattysee clearly won the fight. When Hopkins who is a black american beat Pascal the first time everyone was pissed also, if the wrong man gets the decision it causes outrage, you obviously just want to play the race card because your man lost and dont want to admit it.

 

A close fight can constitute a robbery. Get a grip.

In a ten-rounder, if there is one guy who clearly lost five rounds (and can't even make an argument in them) and got knocked down - he should lose.

Alexander clearly lost five rounds, and he got knocked down.

He won a round clearly (the 9th) and on my card got the benefit of the doubt in the four close rounds. They were the only rounds that were close. So anywhere from 99-90 Matthysse to 95-94 Matthysse can be argued depending on who you gave those close rounds.

The five I gave Matthysse can not swing in Alexander's favor. Devon lost them quite clearly. Plus the knockdown, that comes to a loss. Any other result constitutes robbery.

There's a difference between a fight being "close" in the sense that the two boxers win a similar number of rounds (as happened here), and a fight being "close" in the sense that every round itself is close.

You can have a "close fight" that's 120-108 in one guy's favor, where the winner just edges every round by the skin of his teeth. You can also have a fight where someone wins 115-113 but dominates more than half the fight (absolutely owning 7 of the rounds, and giving 5 away).

There are a lot of fools on ESB who can never keep track of the different contextual meanings of the word "close" when it comes to boxing.

 

Your post is idiotic, "he only won 1 round in dominant fashion", let's see he clearly won rounds 4,7,8 unless you count Alexander winning rounds by taking multiple shots to the body and getting completely mugged and beaten up. So by your logic, the 96-93 Alexander scorecard was justified?

One other thing, you are the one bringing up race. Black people are more racist than white people believe it or not. You think because Devon is black that that is the reason people think he lost the fight. There must be some ulterior motive for all the hate flung him way. I think he clearly lost the fight not because he is black but because he got beaten up and knocked down in a ten round fight. It really wasn't close, I mean can you give Alexander more than 5 rounds? Even if you swing the close rounds in his favor, he still wins no more than 5 rounds so he lost the fight.

I think you need to open your mind and be a little bit more objective and see through all this race bull****.

 

And he said "he's not bias"

Agree Devon should have 3 losses in a row. Also felt sorry for Lucas at the post fight interview he looked like he was about to cry.

 

The guy who landed the better harder shots, more overall punches, more power shots, knocked down his opponent, lost. Devon also should have lost the kotelnik fight but they wheeled in one of the judges who scored that one 116 - 112 for alexander and he did the business again for them.

When this was scheduled as a 10 rounder for a title eliminator they knew what they were doing with devon looking all but gone in round 10 and matthysse having come on strong in the end against judah as well as devon fading against kotelnik and bradley. No way was lucas getting outa there with a win without a KO! Alexander again gets in the window for big fights with another guaranteed purse, this guy has been hyped up and they want to make as much from him as possible. At the end of the day hes a limited fighter who without the help of hometown officials would be nowhere. He should have 3 L's on his record.

 

:deal Thank you IB! This hussleman ***** is the most biased dude on this site, he has to be top 10!

 

You're right about this. However, I personally feel Matthysse was robbed in this fight. I say that because Alexander needed to win 6 rounds to win this fight, and I don't see rounds you could've givien to him.
