Sergio Medina Claims Death Threats

[Rotten Apple]

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.

If that's the way it went down than Medina knows exactly who threatened him. And needs to report it. Medina showed toughness against Bautista. But IMO there is a huge difference between Lopez and Bautista. I think Medina just froze.

It's very possible that he froze. I don't know why he would freeze against Lopez and not Bautista though. The events were almost exactly the same undercard of a huge ODLH PPV event. And on paper the time that they fought Medina.

Bautista 22-0-0 (17 KOs) WBO Super Bantam eliminator (ODLH/PBF undercard)

Lopez 23-0-0 (21 KOs) WBO Super Bantam title (ODLH/PAC undercard)

Both were considered one of the hottest up and coming stars, when he fought them.

Something doesn't add up, maybe he is just loco.

Maybe Lopez crushing Ponce Deleon who destroyed Bautista (the fighter Medina did well against) was what got to him.

That is definately a possibility. The only thing I know for sure, is he did not look like he wanted to be there. I felt like a douche on the chat room, because right before the fight I brought up Medina's toughness, and then he did nothing landed 1 punch and that was a slap.

I have a hard time believing it, but I also don't. I didn't see Lopez taking him out in 9 punches going in... regardless of his punching power.

The only death threat was when JML said "let's get it on."

No you didn't, I was there. More like a turd sandwich than a giant douche... Hee heee. I'll have to re watch it then and have another look.

Thanks for the support, now I feel a million times better

No problem. The chat was great during the fight. I din't think much of it actually at the time. You did say he is tough but juanma is very well regarded so i didn't think anything of it. Just making the old southpark remark.

That was an interesting way to watch a fight, and one I'll be up for again. I don't remember you be douchy...haa. I remember CFH getting chattier with each passing drink or beer. I like the multi color chat too...for it can be hard to watch a fight and follow numerous people talking, but that way you can know and look for particular response.

We need to do it again, and with more drunk people this time.

And yea..rewatching this fight...Medina looked like he couldn't hit the canvas hard or fast enough...w/e the reason.
