However, the follies of the native of Hyattsville for California did not conclude there. In the prior to his duel of the third round against the Japanese Yosuke Watanuki (349 °) He had no better idea than spending a joke to the umpire of the Mohamed Lahyani encounter.

To the judge’s surprise, and those present at the stadium, This time it was a joke. Of course, the accomplices of the American and Lahyani soon arrived.
