Tonights Fights (Sat 25th June)

[marbleheadmaui]

Fightnews had Alexander winning too. I just didn't see that at all. One guy was getting busted up repeatedly and being hit with the cleaner more effective punches. No way did Alexander win the majority of the rounds. It was a robbery because it wasn't even that close.

Boxing - Alexander edges Matthysse

Unlike most close fights I though 9 rounds here were pretty clear.

2,3,5,6,9 for Alexander and 4, 7,8,10 for Matthysse.

Round one was the close one and in my view, one's view of it probably decided the fight.

The thing is Matthysse was more dominant in the rounds he won than Alexander was in the rounds he won, but that almost never matters unless there is a knockdown (like in round 4 tonight). I actually did think about giving Matthysse a 10-8 round in either 7 or 8 (I forget which) but I decided not to.
