    :good This. It wasn't the worst robbery Ive seen, but at the end of the day I can't see how someone could have given Devon more than 5 rounds, which taking into account the KD means he shouldn't have won. Personally I had it 96-93 for Mathysse.

    The outcome of this fight was not debatable at all. They are very few like clowns like Dan Rafael trying to defend it, b/c they like the judges have a clear American bias. It just makes the sport look like a complete joke when decisions like this come down, and they happen quite often, especially against foreign fighters.

    I just re-watched the fight and technically it was a close fight. However the knockdown and the brutality in which Matthyse won his rounds gave him the clear victory in my humble opinion.

    You obviously didn't watch the fight! He dominated rounds 7 and 8 more so than 4. Yes he scored a knockdown in the fourth but didn't have Alexander looking as though he was about to be stopped. He CLEARLY won 4, 7,8,10. With the knockdown, the worst that Mathysse should have gotten was a draw!

    Close fight but Alexander should've lost, IMHO

    You don't have the credibility to post something as objective as this. You're just another troll with an agenda.

    naw that's not true. I forgot what round it was, but Lucas was getting in that ass and hurting Alexander to the body bad. I think it was round 7, but I have to check again.

    That was not a close fight. Alexander won no more than 3 rounds... that was a clear robbery, worst decison of the year IMHO

    Alexander won the first 3 rounds and the 9th. Arguably he won the 5th and 6th. I had no problem with neither fighter winning it was that close. Harold Letterman had a 1 point victory for Matthyse. No highway robbery here

    That was a clear win for Matthyse. I dont see how Alexander won that fight. No way in hell.

    So with that Logic, then no way could have Alexander WON.

    If you loved alexander that much and gave him the first 3 which were close, the 5th and 6th which were close and the 9th which was Clear thats still a draw, No way in hell should he have another W. And you would seriously have to be a nuthugger of DA to give him those swing rounds cause he clearly was the less effective of the two, flashy pity pat and grunting does not cut it for me.
