Devon Alexander v Lucas Matthysse - thoughts?

[marbleheadmaui]

Devon could have at least admitted that Mathysse was the better fighter tonight, embarassing judging from the local judges. the good thing that happened tonight was the affirmation that Lucas is indeed the beast in the division with a better skill set than Maidana.

He may have a better skill set than maidana but on brute force and will id go with maidana I think.

I think I would too. That'd be a real bombs away affair.

For sure, I would love to see them two go at it.

I just want to formally eat crow in this thread because I was dead wrong on my call. Before the fight, I thought Devon would dominate, but Matthysse clearly won that fight. I don't think Devon redeemed himself with that performance. Now we can just more honestly judge him for what he is.

How the FUCK did the first judge score it 96-93 to Alexander? Absoloutely scandalous. I scored it 96-93 to Matthysse and I was generous to Alexander in one of the rounds! Feel sorry for Lucas Matthysse. He should still be unbeaten. That's two genuine robberies within a year.

Alexander, on the other hand, should have three successive losses on his record now. In my eyes he lost to Kotelnik & Matthysse and then bitched out vs Bradley.
