    Devin doesn't like to get roughed up. He grunts a lot, but his punches are pitty pat.

    Round 5

    Alexander is jabbing with his right and uppercutting with his left while leaning intentionally far inside to grab and hold. Lots of wrestling. Matthysse holds and hits. Alexander grins at him. 1-2 by Alexander, stepping past Matthysse. The Argentine spins around and pops him with a right thrown almost blind. Body shots by Alexander before grabbing and spinning Matthysse. Right jab and a grab by Alexander. Slapping combo by Matthysse bearing in on the ducking Alexander. Right uppercut by Alexander on the inside.

    48-46 Alexander

    All Devon has to do is make it to the 10th and he wins this no matter how many time he'd get knocked down :)

    Alexander is landing more often, with greater accuracy, and isn't exactly tapping him. Plus, he is controlling the distance and tempo.
    He is effective and showing better ring generalship.

    Matthysee is pretty much just plodding forward and slinging shots tough guy style.

    Devon has more on his grunts than punches

    Alexander's third consecutive fight in which he disappoints.

    As I already said before, there must be a reason. They don't just "make it a 12 rounder" arbitrarily.
