Q&A with Al Bernstein on Agbeko-Mares

Through the fine folks at Ring Magazine & Ring TV, I was able to ask boxing announcer Al Bernstein about his scoring of the controversial Abner Mares-Joseph Agbeko fight when Mr. Bernstein was a guest on the Ring Radio show today. Bernstein played a key role in the controversy when, as an announcer for Showtime, he began to get very vocal during the fight about the repeated low blows from Abner Mares as well as the sub-par officiating of referee Russell Mora. Just hit play to hear what Al Bernstein had to say when asked about it.
