Appearing on Good Morning Britain, he said: “I could not believe what I was hearing.
“That judge (Alejandro Rochin) – I don’t know what fight he was watching I really don’t.
“I tried to calm by brothers down, the last thing I wanted was a mass brawl which could have happened if I didn’t calm the situation down.
“It could have given boxing and my country a bad reputation. I tried to calm all the problems down and get out of there.
“I’m absolutely devastated with the result, I can’t put into words how hard I’ve worked. Everyone knows I won.
“History will look back on this, they’ve denied me the biggest comeback in history.”
