Nice one Mick...respect. Talk about a solid true professional in Medina.In the lines of others out of Mexico, turned pro at just 14 ,Just insane.Talk about a work horse,awesome rate and punch out put but truth be told,he couldn't hurt a guys feelings when he landed Lol....Ya nailed it also,He needs to walk away and hang them up.And 'Loss' To Tapia was one of the worst blind judge moments Imo.

Good stuff Spicoli...

Good one buddy, you California guys have a South African boxing channel now?

Medina has fought more years in his life than he has not fought, now would be a great time to retire. Kudos for the post CMM, and Kudos to Medina for always bringin what he could to every fight, can't ask for any more than that.

Just got the channel yesterday...

yes Medina was a fighter who lost a fight , and came back again and again at the highest level , a fantastic fighter and person.

Cheers Al...

Former IBF junior lightweight champion Malcolm Klassen (23-4-2, 13 KOs) brought the career of five-time world champion Manuel Medina (67-15-1, 31 KOs) to a sad end when he won their IBF 130lb eliminator in the second round at Hammanskraal on Friday night. Referee Andrew Smale stopped the bout at the Carousel Casino 1:49 into the round. Medina went down in the first round without throwing a single telling punch and without taking a particularly damaging blow. He survived the round but there was no doubt that he would not last until the end of the second. A couple of glancing blows sent him to the canvas again and he was intelligent enough to stay there until the referee did the appropriate thing. Klassen should be a worthy challenger when he meets Baloyi, a six-time champion, for his belt.The tournament at the Carousel Casino north of Pretoria was presented by Branco Milenkovic of Branco Sports Productions

Well hopefully he's alright with money and can get out with decent health.

On a lesser and more selfish note I am getting shit on in the prediction contest this week.
