Wherefore, originally result of Chris Namus won a 10-round majority decision over Loli Munoz was declared null and void.

2. For an extremely close fight which divided the opinions of the media and fans. The WPBF Executive Committee unanimously resolved to endorse the immediate rematch between Uruguayan Chris Namus and Spanish Loly Munoz.
