As a result of the cut, the fight was stopped and headed to the judges scorecards. The cards read 78-75, 77-76, 77-76, in favorite of Navarrete. Had the referee caught the replay, it would have been a stoppage win for Suarez, crowning him the WBO champion. The WBO has already ordered an immediate rematch and shared that Top Rank Boxing, who put on the first fight, is already working on making that happen. Let's hope that the second fight is not also plagued with controversy.

From there the momentum was with the 26-year-old from Mexico. Constant pressure, power shots, accuracy and the installation of fear helped Resendiz power through his first 12 round fight. Plant, meanwhile, became more trigger-shy, hesitating to engage on the inside and throwing singular shots rather than combinations. Resendiz landed 186 of his 600 shots, including 109 of 294 power punches, according to CompuBox.
