Danny Garcia v Ivan Redkach

[TIC]

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.

Same commission that let Miller off on a techicality.

I think the whole forfeit the whole purse stuff is just them trying to look tough, he's already got his money and I doubt he's going to give it back :S

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.

ivan's suspension reduced to six months & only a ten thousand dollar fine, the commission came to their senses
