Alexander vs Mathysse - Spoilers

[tomcy03]

Just caught up on this without reading anything beforehand and had to come straight on here as I couldn't believe they gave it to Alexander.

For once it appears that everyone agrees that Mathysse won this won! I don't think Alexander is a ticket seller anyway and shit like this is going to turn even more off him- hopefully we wont have to put up with him for too much longer.

I for one wont be watching his fights again, too many poor showings now and a decision like that just pisses me (and most others it appears) off.

Well, I'm in the minority, but I had Alexander winning 95-94. I was disappointed because Mathysse is one of those fighters you can't help but love, he never stops working & has deceptive speed & technique. However, having no access to the net in DC, I watched this only on TV (on 3 occasions, it was my only boxing fix) & I had Alexander taking the first 3 rounds, not that they weren't competitive, but I felt Alexander had definitely done enough. Lucas obviously had the 4th with the KD. I felt Alexander came back really well to take the 5th & 6th quite solidly imo.The 7th & 8th were big rounds for Lucas & I could see an argument for the 8th being a 10-8 although I didn't score it that way. The 9th was Alexander's round for me & it gained him a lot of respect from me for a guy I had very little time for. 10th another big round for Lucas. So I can complain at the decision, although I struggle to see where you could find another round for Alexander, because I felt when Lucas won rounds, he won them by a clear margin. It was a good fight though & made me want to see both again. I'd love Mathysse/Maidana, what a fight that would be.

I haven't been following boxing for awhile, but i watched this one a few days ago. Aswell as the other weekend fights, i thought Devon Alexander vs Lucas Mathysse was a closish fight. But i still think Lucas Mathysse won clearly especially with the knockdown, and he had some big rounds and for certain won 6 or 5 rounds.

I also thought Devon Alexander got a gift against Andriy Kotelnik, and i had him losing that fight 115-113.

I think i draw would of been the best thing to happen that fight was far to close to be called a robbery. I also just watched the fight again on hbo go and i could of gone either way far from a robbery.
