Matthysse, because I scored it for him. Only by 1 point, but it was pretty clearly him by at least 1. Regarding Kotelnik... (clears throat) Most will say I'm nuts, and I haven't watched it once since it happened, but I somehow came up with Devon 7-5. Hey, I can admit when I produce a score that I'm not happy about or admitting when I hear the consensus of everybody else. Bradley beat him pretty easy, although Alexander was "in" every round and won a few.
I haven't seen the Kotelnik bout in a while. But I scored it for him. Whereas, on the cards, over 10 rounds, I had Alexander-Matthysse a draw, excluding the knockdown. Both beat Alexander IMO, but Kotelnik didn't need a knockdown.
Matthysse certainly did enough to win a decision,but the argument is there for Alexander winning five rounds(I gave him four) against Matthysse.Kotelnik was just flat out robbed against Alexander.He exposed Alexander's limitations to a far greater extent than Matthysse did. The fact that Kotelnik just faded away into retirement and Matthysse is currently one of the hottest(yes homo) fighters in the sport will mean that the Matthysse fight will be spoken about more in future.
They were about even. I had it 96-93 LMM and 116-112 Kotelnik. Both fights were competetive but Devon clearly lost each of them.
Both won convincingly but Kotelnik made it look very easy, i struggled to give Alexander 4 rounds there and he probably only won 3 at the most. Lucas did win convincingly as well but was aided by the knockdown. The Kotelnik fight to me is the poster boy of everything thats wrong with how people score fights. Much like Pac vs JMM3 people get blinded by the fast thrown volume and just assume some of its landing while if you look closely (or with slowmo) its all parried, dodged and blocked.
