Sergio Medina Claims Death Threats Made Him Take a Dive - Boxing News

I don't buy it at all.

He says it happened during the weigh-in, when there are tons of witnesses there, and not one person heard it, or said anything?

If a threat was made, why didn't he report it right there and then while the commision is standing right there.

To be fair, he certainly fought like he was taking a dive.

gotta agree with you. If what was quoted there really came out of Medinas mouth especially about the part when he says he swear on his daughters life if he really said that then i believe him.

I predicted lopez to win but i was sure medina would give him so trouble.

I agree, he fought like it.

I might have believed it, if he said that he got the threats privately through calls to his room, or in a hall somewhere, but he's saying it happened at the weigh-in, with tons of witnesses there. I don't think anybody would be stupid enough to make death threats with witnesses around. And I can't believe that no one would have heard it, and not done something about it.

If someone made death threats to me, right in front of witnesses, and the boxing commission, I sure as $hit would have spoken up right then and there.

That's the thing Medina is tougher than nails, his performance definately did not show that. Maybe it was whispered in his ear or something. Things get crazy at the weigh-in's. I'm not saying it did happen, but it could have. Take for example, you are at a Brown's game and Danny whispers something to you, would the people around you hear it? Probably not.

Exactly. well said.

After watching it again it really did appear that either Medina took a dive or more likely just showed up for the paycheck, they should investigate it though. It could be true what hes claiming, either way he wont be back on HBO anytime soon.
