Upon further review; Suarez should have been awarded a TKO victory over Navarrete because it's the correct call to make and the only call to make. If they are judging it solely by what is on the books.
For instance, they ruled that the cut was caused by a legal punch after 4 rounds had been completed. Therefore, the fight should have never gone to the scorecards in the first place.
It should have been stopped due to legal punch landed by Suarez awarding him the TKO victory. A NC was not the right call to make here by the CSAC because the cut was not caused by a foul.
However, the CSAC has very broad discretions in pertaining to these types of matters; So their ruling stands.
