So since he wasn't allowed to use illegal tactics, he decides to utilize a hardly noticeable biting move to attempt to slow down Floyd's jab or incapacitate his arm.
Had to be shown the location of his own corner at one point.
Got a point taken away for pushing Floyd with his elbow after that.
Played off like he was hit below the belt to get breathing time.
How does that now make him and Robert Garcia appear in the eyes of fans and future opponents?
yea he bite him...but Floyd did put his glove in his face..so it is what it is
In the post fight press conference he did not mention anything about Floyd's glove stopping his breathing. He just denied ever biting Floyd.
.
Yes because Floyd wasnt using a dirty veteran tactic and wasnt trying to smother Maidana's nose/mouth to disrupt his breathing. He deserved to get bitten. His reaction though was a bit over the top. No way are you going to yell like a woman after getting bit by a guy wearing a mouthpeice on top of you wearing pillows for gloves.
The slo-mo replay shows Maidana holding Floyd's glove then relasing it after the bite.
How do you know Floyd was intentionally covering his mouth?
I see his career fading into obscurity.
He's been dirty 3 fights in a row. He got paid and buys ugly rich people clothes. His heart isn't there anymore
