Alexander vs Mathysse - Spoilers

[gest12645]

Robbery!! I feel so bad for Mathysse- this is the second time it happened to him ( first was his "loss" against Judah) This is the second time Alexander also has gotten a gift decision ( he should have lost to Kotelnik)

96-93 Mathysse

[CFH]

I had Matthysee winning by three points. The judge who had it 96-93 for Alexander is obviously on Don King's payroll.

[Pavlik]

As mush as I am a Devon fan that fight disgusted me, they robbed Matthyse twice now
I hope Mathysse gets a rematch with either Judah or Alexander. Mathysse is undefeated IMO.

[Hulk]

I honestly believed that Matthysse was going to get the decision...

Boy was I wrong.

They fucked him royally tonight.

Fucking Cory Spinks and his bullshit hometown.

If someone scored the fight 95-94 for Alexander, I'd shake my head in mild disbelief. That would be basically giving Alexander every round but the 4th where he was knocked down and lost 10-8, the 7th, 8th, and 10th (all 3 of those rounds he got busted up).

But a judge had it 96-93 for Alexander. That means he either scored the 4th 9-9 somehow, or gave the 7th, 8th, or 10th round to Alexander. Alexander got dropped in the 4th, busted up in the 7th, 8th, and 10th.

4 ROUNDS MATTHYSE WON!!! I thought those 4 rounds could have been scored correctly by a 4yr old. But somehow a judge disagrees with me and comes up with the ridiculous 96-93 score.

Such bullshit.

You know its a shit decision when you got hometown fans booing the decision. Hopefully matthysee keeps working, looked great tonight. He needs to not let this shit deter him, and hopefully hbo gives him a fight again hopefully not in a dudes backyard. Anywhere else and lucas wins that

i agree with you fella's. this was a motherfucking disgrace to a wonderful sport.

i feel sooo bad for mathysse its not even funny. imagine all that hard work, and getting robbed....twice now, to the local hometown american fighter! makes me ashamed of my own countries actions & corruption.

and what REALLY steams me is that these fighters...judah and alexander will prob not give him a rematch ever, and they'll move on as though he wasn't a challenge to them.
and judah acts like he really won that fight.

[badr_hari]

And people are still talking about robberies in Germany. What happened to Kotelnik and now to Mathysse is shame. Some fighters just need to boycott fighting American bums in their backyard.

[MMASUX]

Matthysse got robbed. Hopefully with such a loaded division he will get another good fight, he deserves it. I don't see how the hell one judge had it 96-93 for Alexander

[Rantcatrat]

I'll completely eat crow. I thought Devon would dominate. Boy was I wrong. I had 96-93 Matthysse. The boos in the crowd in St. Louis should say everything. It wasn't per se a robbery (that word gets thrown around too often), but it was a bad decision. Twice I've seen Matthysse win close fights and get the short end of the stick. Devon looks ordinary. He's definitely a notch below the rest of the division. He's not as slick as he's made out to be at all. I think Matthysse took a bit out of Devon's chin too. Will Don King and Cunningham give Matthysse a rematch on neutral turf?

[Rantcatrat]

Two hometown fighters took debatable wins yesterday.

[CommunistKevin]

I thought the Judah fight was close and was not that bad of a decision. This decision was terrible. I thought he beat devon way worse than his arguable fight with Judah.

[J_C]

It wasnt as bad a decision as the Judah fight at all but it was still the wrong verdict. I had it 95-94 Matthysse but if I didnt have it that score it would have been 96-93 Matthysse. I can actually see how you COULD have Alexander winning 115-114 but you have to give him the close rounds (of which I thought there were 3; the 1st, 2nd and 6th), and by that logic you could just as easily have a wide Matthysse win of 97-92. 96-93 Alexander is complete bullshit, this shit makes my blood boil.

After the Sturm and Macklin fight, Sturm told Macklin he would give him a rematch because the fight could have gone either way. I hope that Devon Alexander and his team give Matthysse the honor of a rematch as well on neutral soil. Matthysse earned it. Who would you favor going into it?

I doubt devon gives him a rematch, he didn't give kotelnik one. Sturm gave that one dude a rematch when they fought to a draw, cause I think he still feels the sting from the odlh decision. And great just read the artivle and macklin is comming of as a dick, I mean ffs yeah german tv had you winning, forgot to mention that your sky sports had it a draw, just hate it when one fighter is blind to the truth.
