“The referee was way out of position to make a call like that They could have given him five minutes to recover. Stuff like this is a black eye for the sport. All that being said, Andrew knows that if he wants to become something, he has to take the rematch. I am going to talk to the commission ka mantaha and see what my options are in terms of an appeal but making the rematch is the first order of business for us.”
