Sean O Malley urges fans to run Twitter poll to decide if Pedro Munhoz was looking for a way out

Sean O'Malley asks fans to decide whether he should rematch Pedro Munhoz will leave it up to the fans to decide whether he should consider fighting in a rematch. The rising bantamweight star was clearly unhappy with how his outing ended. The bout was declared a no-contest after Munhoz got poked in the eyes in round two and was declared incapable of fighting on. Running it back appears to be the logical move, but O'Malley remains hesitant to commit, believing there's a possibility that Munhoz faked the injury. With that in mind, 'Sugar' asked fans to create a Twitter poll to settle the matter. Asked if he's leaning towards accepting a rematch or pursuing a different opponent, O'Malley told of : "In the cage, he said, we can run it back. Someone do a poll on Twitter and see if he was looking for a way out. I really believe like that was the best-case scenario for Pedro. I was piecing him up. I was way faster than him. He couldn't hit me, couldn't hurt me. I just... I don't know."
