Comments Thread For: Edgar Berlanga Suspended Six Months, Fined $10,000 By NYSAC For Biting Incident

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Edgar Berlanga will lose a piece of his paycheck and a possible place on a prominent year-end card thanks to his recent in-ring misconduct. The New York State Athletic Commission officially levied a six-month suspension and $10,000 fine on the unbeaten Nuyorican super middleweight, the ruling on Friday confirming a previous report from BoxingScene.com. The punishment stems from Berlanga's actions in a June 11 ESPN-televised win over Roamer Alexis Angulo, when the Brooklyn native attempted to bite the former title challenger in the seventh round of their main event at Madison Square Garden's Hulu Theater in New York City.

Wonder why he didn’t get the one year suspension that Redkach got.

1 year, 100k would have been some sort of justice.

This guy went from being the next big thing to now being quite the disappointment and an embarassment.

Wonder why he didn’t get the one year suspension that Redkach got.

Probably because Redkach actually bite Danny and left a mark . While Berlanga was a falied attempt.

Did anyone in their right mind even think Berlanga would of fought in the next 6 months? Suspensions are a JOKE in boxing.

The A-Side/B-Side stuff in boxing is sickening at times. The story leaves out that NYSAC punished Redkach far worse financially:

"Mr. Redkach’s purse from the bout shall be forfeited and paid to the Commission"

He should have a choice between a 3 year suspension, or to have his 2 front teeth and 3 bottom teeth extracted with only a one month suspension.

[boxing IQ]

What a loser. Moron didn't even think to spit out the mouthpiece.
