July 15 The broadcaster Hall of Fame Al Bernstein freed the condemning verdict about the judges who won the controversial victory of David Morrell over Imam Khataev during the Ring III event, meaning the result of “impossibility”.

Bernstein, an experienced analyst and a respected voice in boxing for over four decades, said that he watched the fight twice on the same night before he came to what he called “the only reasonable conclusion” about the controversial ten -organic competition.

“Al Bernstein.

“I watched this fight twice. This is a fight between the imam Khataev and David Morrell.

“The only reasonable conclusion” Al Bernstein

“I came to the only reasonable conclusion that you can come to this fight. Khataev won – certainly six rounds of the fight and more than probably seven rounds of fighting. So when you add knocking down in the fifth round, there is no way to imagine the road on this planet to shoot for the fight for David Morrell.”

A respected anchoring of the former Showtime drew his attention to three judges, distinguishing them by name.

“However, three judges should be ashamed of the rest of their lives-they were wrong. The most glaring was John McKaie, who had a score of 96-93 for David Morrell, which means that he gave Morrell seven out of ten rounds! Which is impossible.

“Allen Nace in 95-94, giving him six rounds, also impossible. Even Tony Lunda, who shot him 95-94 for Khataeva, everything was bad. He gave five rounds to Khataev.”

I felt forced to make this movie about Morrell-Khataeva. I have been more outraged by such a decision than for years after watching the fight – and by the way I have been watching twice. pic.twitter.com/mv9fttr4swl

Bernstein based his respected opinion on careful re -observation and stated that no one could justify the result without bias.

“I repeated the whole fight again, as I pointed out. You must be blind or biased to fight David Morrell. Period. End of the sentence.”
