They aren't gonna make this a NO Contest. Not a chance in hell.
I can tell you what the WBA's statement will say right now.
"Our panel was unanimous in thinking that this was a closely contested fight with several rounds that could have gone either way. Judge Patricia Jarman's scorecard was unacceptable but that of Judge Jerry Roth, who also awarded the fight to Shumenov, is difficult to object to. Judge Roth has a long history in the sport and the WBA accepts his result as being honest and forthright. Therefore we will not overrule this result and instead will order an immediate rematch between Campillo and Shumenov.Comment
