Alexander vs Mathysse - Spoilers

[Rantcatrat]

This fight goes to show that a boxer can throw and land more punches than his opponent, knock his opponent down without going down himself, better control the pace of the fight, land more meaningful punches, and look better for wear after the fight, and still come up short on the cards.

You are treating the fight like it is one continuingly scored entity. it isn't. It is, in this case, ten three minute fights added together.

Marble while maybe not a robbery on the scale of martinez cintron, most people seem to think lucas took it, me included. I think the reason many are pissed off is not the scale of the "robbery" but because this is the second time devon got a gift,many feel he lost to kotelnik, and many feel like its the second time lucas got screwed on american soil. I just see no way devon won that fight he wasn't landing shit imo

It's like walking into a bad neighborhood and getting robbed.

Yes, that is why Lucas lost the fight. My point was that, generally, although as this fight shows, not always, when a boxer lands more total punches, knocks another boxer down and isn't knocked down himself, controls the pace throughout the entire fight, lands more meaningful punches throughout the entire fight, looks better for wear and tear at the end of the fight, he wins the fight. Here, that didn't happen, which is why I would say the Alexander/Matthysse fight is the exception, not the rule. This last sentence was my point in the previous post.

As an aside, I had the fight close, I had Matthysse winning, but it was close for me, which is why I wouldn't call it a robbery.
