Friday Night Bites!!!

Bringing back memories of Tyson-Holyfield II, Humberto Toledo was disqualified against Breidis Prescott for biting him on the neck.

The fight was rather one-sided, with Prescott clearly in control, when Toledo took a chunk out of Prescott’s neck in the 10th round.

During a clinch, Prescott was walking Toledo back towards the ropes, when Toledo’s face disappeared into the junction of Prescott’s shoulder and neck, at which time he bit him. There were clear bite marks on Prescott, and the referee made a prompt, correct decision to halt the fight and award Prescott the victory.

Watch it here. Not great quality, but all I could find so far.

On the undercard, Yuriorkis Gamboa needed just 35 seconds to handle Walter Estrada, catching him with a perfect right hand that put Estrada down for the count.
