Berlanga deserved his suspension and fine for trying to bite Angulo but should have been treated more harshly because of the 10 rounds of boredom he inflicted on watching fans.
In terms of punishments by commissions and sanctioning bodies I see no point in issuing 6 month suspensions these days when boxers usually go at least 5 or 6 months between fights. A 6 month suspension is no punishment at all.

Berlanga...slowly losing his shape and composure fight by fight. I'm enjoying this. I'll never be a fan and will continue to be a 'hater'.
