I bet on under 8.5 rounds at +175. I would have taken Lucas at +180 but he was only +140 last night when I placed my bet. I have a feeling Alexander is getting stopped as well, I just hope it is earlier rather than later. Alexander does have some pop as well, so I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility of Lucas getting stopped. Urango is very limited as a fighter but does have a good chin (remember that shot he took from Bailey who is a murderous puncher that he got up from, that was pretty unreal). Alexander stopped him so I feel the under is a good bet.
i'm going for a stoppage for matthysse. between 7 and 9. he should of had a few easy fights to get his confidence back. going straight in with a tough fighter is a stupid move. it kind of reminds me of the jones situation.. he got knocked out by tarver, then went in with johnson.. all because of pride. it's going to back-fire on alexander in a big way. just like it did with jones. i don't believe he's got over quitting against bradley. his self-esteem will be at rock bottom... and it's going to get worse when matthysse has finished with him.
I read that too. King and Devonss people are doing everything they can to cheat a victory. This should be 12 its an eliminator. they saw what Matthysse did to Judah in the championship rds and are scared shitless.
This is a dangerous fight for both guys. Devon loves when guys come at him, and Mathysse comes forward. Won't be an easy fight for either guy.
yeah i think alexander's bubble has burst, dont see him bouncing back really....but you never know, look at victor ortiz !!! who's that in your avatar by the way???
Alexander wins this fight by significant margin, he's more skilled, faster by far, has solid power, well be in great shape, is "home", and he's simply the all around better fighter. Mathysse has no stylistic or attribute advantage outside of "power", furthermore this dude lost to the ghost of Zab Judah.
Wait, so it this fight 10 or 12 rounds? The ****, it should be 12 rounds. That's bull**** if it is 10 rounds. Matthysse needs a KO though. Alexander has already won on the scorecards. Matthysse could kick his ass and it won't matter, he needs a KO. We've already had 2 robberies this weekend, wouldn't be surprised to have a 3rd.
