No one cared enough to mention Garcia win, 12 round u'd.... Redkach biting him was quite funny.
Danny Garcia dominates Ivan Redkach, ready for Errol Spence Jr. or Manny Pacquiao
Danny Garcia spoke about wanting Errol Spence Jr. or Manny Pacquiao next.
Well, he inched himself one step closer Saturday night by pummeling Ivan Redkach toward a lopsided unanimous decision (118-110, 117-111, 117-111) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Garcia quickly imposed his will and landed crunching right hand after crunching right hand — whether they came via counterpunching or straightforward.
Redkach was clearly no match for Garcia, who got to look ahead to unified world welterweight champ Spence or WBA titleholder Pacquiao.
"Either or (Spence or Pacquiao), either of those fights I would like to have," Garcia told Showtime during his postfight interview in the ring. "My style looks great with both fighters."

The two-division world champion's only regret against Redkach? That he didn't get the stoppage.
"I thought the referee was going to stop it because I felt like I was punishing him," Garcia said. "He’s a tough guy, he hung in there, I wanted to get the KO, but I didn't get it. I feel like I boxed smart, and I feel like that's what I needed after this layoff. I really wanted the knockout bad, but I’ll accept this."
Garcia loaded up on right hands, including a stiff shot that buckled Redkach's knees in the seventh round.
When Redkach gestured Garcia to bring it during the eighth, "Swift" obliged by dishing out more punishment. About the only pain Redkach could muster was when he inexplicably bit Garcia between his neck and shoulder.
"He bit me. He said, 'Mike Tyson' when he bit me," Garcia told Showtime's Jim Gray following his win. "I said, ‘Ref, he bit me.' I thought I needed stitches or something. That’s my first time ever getting bit in a fight. Things happen, though. I've been in a street fight before, so I did it all."
While Garcia's counterpunching was effective against Redkach, it remains to be seen whether he can do that and get a win over Spence or Pacquiao, who might force him to increase his punching volume.
Co-main event: Jarrett Hurd dominates Francisco Santana via unanimous decision
Hurd almost capped his return to the ring with a knockout.
Although he didn’t get the KO, "Swift" cruised to a 97-92, 99-90, 99-90 decision.
Hurd dropped Santana with a piercing uppercut during the waning seconds of the 10th round. When Santana beat the count, there was only a second remaining in the fight and the final bell tolled.
Santana wasn’t able to be saved from being on the receiving end of a boxing clinic, however. Hurd (24-1, 16 KOs) established a left jab in the second round and a winding, crunching right uppercut in the third, and he rode both punches to the dominant win.
The fight served as Hurd’s first bout since he suffered his first pro loss last May against Julian Williams. That defeat was costly, as Hurd lost his unified world junior middleweight titles.
With this victory, Hurd should be back in line for a shot to become world champ once again.
Stephen Fulton def. Arnold Khegai by unanimous decision; junior featherweights
Khegai had success mauling Fulton against the ropes and unleashing his left hook, but "Cool Boy Steph" had more success luring the Ukrainian fighter to the middle of the ring, where he peppered him with jabs and combinations.
By the time the final bell tolled, it was clear Fulton (18-0, eight KOs) had controlled the distance behind the jab in dominant enough fashion to win on all three judges’ cards. The final tallies were 116-112, 117-111 and 117-111.
"That's what I do. I use my jab,” Fulton told Showtime’s Jim Gray following his win. "I tried to utilize the jab all night and win the fight behind the jab. I showed that I'm ready for a world title next."

I sort of drifted in and out watching this card, didn't do a lot for Showtime Id imagine. Both fights played out like sparring sessions and went about as expected. In Hurd's case a tune up was fair enough with the new trainer and all, but Garcia never lost any stock, he may as well stay fighting at the top level.
danny had to take this fight after spence's accident, he won every round but he took lots of bodyshots in return. not a good look with the fight going the distance
whooly fuck, the nysac went in on ivan for biting. given a one year suspension and forfeited his whole purse
Redkach would have been better eating a tainted cow and shooting banned substances in his arse cheek. This doesn't pass the smell test, confiscate an entire 300k purse and another 10k penalty and 1 yr ban? I'm not sure the ref even penalized him???.
Jack Mosley has been training Redkach
Same commission that let Miller off on a techicality.Quote:

Punishment is severe. Ivan Redkach fought and earned his wages, fines and suspensions were legitimate, not complete confiscation, and his team will also suffer
Ivan Redkach fined, suspended, loses $300,000 purse for biting Danny Garcia's neck
Boxer Ivan Redkach has been fined and suspended by the New York State Athletic Commission for biting his opponent Danny Garcia last Saturday during their title elimination fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Redkach’s boxing license will be suspended for a full year and he will have to pay the maximum fine of $10,000. He will also have to give up the $300,000 purse he earned from the fight, which seems like it might be a problem. According to a source who spoke to ESPN’s Dan Rafael, Redkach has already deposited his winnings check.
The bite occurred late in the eighth round. Garcia had been easily handling Redkach during the fight, and Redkach appeared to become so frustrated that he bit Garcia on the neck when the two were stuck in a clinch. The referee didn’t deduct any points from Redkatch for the bite, and Garcia still won the match by unanimous decision.

During his post-match interview with Showtime, Garcia was able to be pretty lighthearted about his opponent biting him.
"He bit me. He said 'Mike Tyson' when he bit me," Garcia said, via ESPN. "I said 'Ref, he bit me.' I thought I needed stitches or something. That's my first time ever getting bit in a fight. Things happen though. I've been in a street fight before, so I did it all."
The New York State Athletic Commission obviously wasn’t able to treat a biting incident with such humor and forgiveness. However, Redkach will be able to appeal the NYSAC’s decision, which could potentially reduce some of the penalties he was assessed.

I can’t imagine this stands. There will be a penalty and suspension, but he would for sure sue if they took his whole purse. But I do agree that it’s ridiculous that someone can take illegal substances and it not become near as big of a deal. Taking PEDs is much worse than just biting someone.
Agreed, and it's a singular offense as opposed to illegal substances being used for god knows how long. I'm not dismissing fouls especially a bite but honestly speaking this was not some raging shark bite ala Tyson or that one Francisco Lorenzo who did it in multiple fights. Redkach had his mouth opened in a clinch and put it on Danny neck, I don't even think he closed it. Maybe if they went after intentional billy goat headbutts and guys making an art of targeting sharp elbows on the follow through these fines and penalties would be taken more serious. I don't like the idea of a commission coming back behind the scene and making a decision involving life changing money to any fighter when there was zero acknowledgement in the actual fight.Quote:
