Excessive punishment for a trivial offense.
Keep in mind much of the rules, expectations, and legal sanctions are legally exposed to fighters (in most cases) with their license once they are fighting within that state’s governing body. Yes, I do know some fighter’s may not have the level of educational ability to understand all the rules and regulations being thrown at them, but let’s not forget, these guys are professionals and juvenile behavior is not tolerated in some states. Aside from the BS in boxing politics (ie, favoritism) I could talk about for hours with some fighters, my stance is pretty accurate.
Damn that punishment against Ivan Redkach is way too HARSH!
Yep. I wonder if they would penalize, say. Canelo the same way, should he commit a similar offense.
Ridiculous punishment imposed. If that was the case he should’ve been deducted 2 points or disqualified. If that’s the case they better do the same for intentional anything low blows headbutts elbows….instead the man put his life on the line at a charge too him -10,000. ….was he wrong yes..but it was in the heat of the battle and had no effect on the outcome. NYSAC found a way to steal from the fighters.
NYSAC are a bunch of Rats! $10,000??? WTFFF Redkach needs to get a good Lawyer quick to keep these crooks & cowards out of his pockets!
Very excessive….. commission are so wrong to boxers….. football players make more and get fined less
Nysac will probably eventually release his purse.
Especially when evidence shows how hungry he was 🙂
Puerto Rican food is delicious you know! Mofongo Mofo!
mofongo? puerco rican food sucks
I watched the fight, nothing was said about a bite and I didn’t see it
Mike, the commentators mentioned it and Showtime showed where Angel Garcia clearly informed the ref of the bite as soon as the round ended. They also showed the actual bite sequence several times during the broadcast.
That is a bit steep and I’m not sure that they can get away with withholding he check. I agree with a fine and an suspension of maybe six months but “entire purse, $10,000 fine and his license for a year”? I disagree. Something to consider here; a fighter can do crazy things when hurt or with mild concussion. It was probably that Ivan got her and it was all instinctual.
I would like to also point out that Siri’s last minute spelling corrections are 90% wrong. As you were.
If this story is accurate, it clearly shows that the NYSAC deserves the criticism it frequently receives. Virtually every card features dangerous rabbit punches and refs do nothing. This dumb foul deserves a fine and suspension, but nothing this severe.
Bruce , the guy was hungry
Rw
Basically this foul should have had a point or 2 deducted. But not his entire purse and a 10 grand fine. HELL Clarissa Shields that brought an entire entourage of gang bangers to a weigh in, nearly committed murder against an old man byThe hitting him in the back of his head. Did SHIELDS pay a fine? Was she suspended? Did ANYONE pay 10 cents in damages? This guy Redkach was wrong but if he hurt Garcia so bad why was he not disqualified or had even a point taken away? This is excessive what they’re doing to this fighter. The entire purse? And a year suspension?
