    In terms of the decision.

    Lara vs Williams was a straight up robbery, everybody knows that. But for the mathysse/Alexander fight, you'd have to find 6 rounds for Alexander on a 10 round fight. With the kd, that was a 1 point win for mathysse at worse. What do you think???

    Both were awful and a disgrace to the sport, but the Williams/Lara decision was significantly worse IMO.

    Both were bad, but Lara-Williams was worse.

    The TRUE robbery in Matthyse-Alexander is that it was only a 10 rounder. Devona wouldnt have lasted another 2 rounds.

    Matthyse/Alexander was a dumb decision.

    Lara/Williams was pure BS, it made no sense at all and had no redeemable possibilities of being spun into what the decision was read as.

    Matthyse was the victim of a bad decision, Lara was the victim of grand ****ing larceny.

    Both just as bad, but Mathysse/Alexander was less obvious to casual viewer.

    True fans pretty much know how corrupt this sport is, so what's the difference?

    No, the Alexander vs Matthysse was just another home cooking/ unfair decision...
    Williams vs Lara was a blatant robbery, with no case at all for Williams to win it in any way.

    Both make me feel sick, and both make Boxing look like a joke. You can't defend last nights decision.

    Alexander lost in a close but clear fight.

    Williams was taken to secondary education and was being hit at will, i actually stopped scoring that fight because i thought it was getting stopped any minute.

    This is what I was trying to say, we have fights like the Alexander fight recently and people cry robbery. But that fight was much closer than people thought when score round by round and not by who your felt won. Many had that fight 95-94 for either fighter and few more than that. But the Williams/Lara fight is a perfect example when the word "robbery" should be use, not close at all.

    One judge had Alexander by 96 - 93.

    That's not blatant robbery?

    Have you ever concidered the fact that the rest of the world has other commentators? :patsch
