The scorecards are in... David Morrell's late surge snatched a victory from the jaws of defeat with a ten-round, split decision win over Imam Khataev.
Khataev won 95-94 on one card, overruled by scores of 96-93 and 95-94 for Morrell, 12-1 (9 KOs). Khataev, 10-1 (9 KOs) suffers his first defeat as he was extended the distance for the second straight time after he scored nine consecutive knockouts to begin his pro career.
