Did you notice there was still a minute to go in that round? The minute Ugas got up the bell rang. Moreover, Bernstein had just stated "1 minute to go in the round", when it rang. Even more unusual, nobody said a word. No one calling out the mistake as if they were too scared to say a mistake was made on their telecast. I always get suspicious like they were protecting a certain fighter. Hmmm!
