    I've seen Medina fight a few times and thought he was very decent.
    Lopez hits hard.
    There may be video of the weigh-in, though.
    Don't get the death threat dive too often. Seems like it was Italy the last time I heard it. Maybe a Parisi fight?
    Jeremy Williams against Nielsen maybe?

    De La Hoya got a death threat too.:popcorn:

    I've never seen Medina fight before Saturday, but the guy got a 33-1 record some how so he can't be as bad as he looked Saturday. It was obvious he took a dive.

    I don't question that he tanked the fight. What's open to debate is the exact reason. Maybe this is it.

    If it's not true then where he might've fucked up is his mentioning of a lot of money riding on a JuanMa opening round knockout. If an investigation comes of this, you can best believe they'll check every sizeable bet made on JuanMa by KO (in general and KO1) and the under. If a single one winds up traced back to Medina or anyone he knows, then he's even more done than his career already is after that "performance."

    All that said, his record is a very soft 33-1, with the one loss coming against Bautista on the PBF-DLH business transaction. I'd have to imagine most people saw that fight, even if not entirely paying attention.

    The difference is, Oscar got his death threat courtesy of manny's fists.

    With the way Medina fought, you can certainly believe he took a dive.

    So His Royness how much money did you make again on that 1st round KO?

    Next time I´m in on the job, or I´ll have to turn you in. :stir:

    Medina's US Agent (Samson Lewkewicz) dismisses the claim and even calls for a psychological evaluation.
     
  12. Tam Tam

    Of course he'd dismiss it. He nows full and well what it might mean if he admits to throwing a fight, for any reason. Boxing doesn't need this. It's not often that fighters openly admit something about the nature of the sports dishonest qualities.

    This could be a big story if major media outlets get a hold of it.
     
  13. Jake

    I agree, Tam. To expand on that, Samson's covering his own ass for the sake of staying in good graces with Arum and everyone else. Kinda like how Tony Holden willingly threw Allan Green under the bus for the sake of remaining on Arum's rolodex over the summer (and even told Arum's lie in the process).

    Medina is not from Buenos AIres.

    Salta... Buenos Aires... what's 800 or so miles between friends, right?

    I think watching the broadcast it was clear he took a dive, and it wasn't even a good one at that. He was hit by 0 meaningful punches and got dropped 3 times.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this were true at all.

    :lol:

    yeah, Jim Lampley commented on how Lopez had not even landed a meaningful punch yet, yet Medina had already been down twice.

    Maybe Ponce De Leon also took a dive....
     
  20. Father of Muzse

    Put it this way...Medina's acting job was so bad, even Bruce Seldon didn't buy it.

    Controversy on a Golden Boy card? No way.

    His_Royness "Twinkle Toes" McJack

    I can't believe everybody is buying that shit. He took a fucking Moli-Wladimir type of dive because he's a fucking cowardly quitter. Now he comes up with the biggest bullshit excuse i've ever heard and everybody on here goes... oh death threat oh must be true...


    Maybe Moli also received a death threat not to punch Wlad... :notallthere:


    Boxrec forum is evenly stupid though. Oh yes he wasn't punched... death threat! :lol:

    I think this lends some credability to Ron's claim. I think people should reconsider Oscar's performance as well frankly. Lets briefly recap what we now are aware of for that card:

    1) Some strange shit happened at the weigh in with Medina and Oscar

    2) There are allegations that one fight was thrown and other people are scratching their heads at the performance of the other fighter.


    Something is fishy and Ron's theory appears more valid every day frankly.
