Much has been made about the video of Alex Ariza reportedly giving Marcos Maidana an illegal substance in between rounds during his bout with Adrien Broner on Saturday night.
While we won’t speculate as to what it is that Ariza gave Maidana, it does seem to be more than just a piece of gauze because Maidana jerks his head back after having it pressed against his nose.
We reached out to Ariza who said he had been bombarded with requests to clarify what exactly is going on and that he would give us some time to speak with him on Monday, December 16, 2013.
As of right now we have not heard from Ariza.
Watch the video and let us know if you think this is fishy.
