    "I lied because I was ashamed to say that I hit well"

    Sergio Medina acknowledged that he invented the story about his defeat to Puerto Rican 'Juanma' Lopez.
    El Nuevo Dia

    The version of Argentine Sergio Medina that his defeat to Puerto Rican Juan Manuel "Juanma" Lopez replied that was left to win because he was threatened with death faded yesterday when the defeated boxer admitted that he invented the story because he was ashamed of having lost.

    In an interview with Radio Salta in Argentina, Medina acknowledged that his defeat was genuine.

    "The guy was strong, I felt pressured internally by myself, I was nervous, but I noquearon now well and feel shame for those who happened," Medina said in the interview, according to published page of the cyber station. "I admit that lied, because I was ashamed to say that I hit well," said Medina.

    In the statements, the boxer apologized to his compatriots and said that "my career ends here."

    The version of the alleged threat yesterday lifted the outrage of those who observed the battle. Medina, in a radio interview outlined in yesterday's edition of the newspaper Clarin and disseminated by the agency EFE, its rapid and fulminant setback last Saturday in Las Vegas was due to the alleged death threats he received during the official ceremony Weighing .

    According to his version, he said they would not leave alive in the United States if they are not pulled to the canvas in the initial chapter of the battle. Also involved in the warnings to a house of gambling that did not identify.

    Lopez, in the midst of some well-deserved vacation, was not available to make comments yesterday because he suffered a loss of health by an apparent stomach virus that did receive care at the Hospital of Caguas and Hima in the early afternoon was at home in absolute repose.

    But reactions to what he said Medina - that he lost in the first round because they allegedly threatened him with death - not absent.

    "That is crazy. It is an individual who has no respect for him or for his country. He wanted to give a cheap excuse to Argentina so badly that the fight wore on, "said the manager of Lopez, Orlando Piñero, El Nuevo Dia, with obvious discomfort.

    Had this been a threat, exaggerated the note to follow instructions, falling on three occasions to eventually lose by NOCAUT at 1:38 of the first assault before the monarch supergallo the unbeaten World Boxing Organization (OMB), which has won 22 of his 24 professional fights before closing, including the last three all-in-holders' round 'initial.

    'A bad loser'

    "It's a sore loser, which is not believed he was going to end up as finished ... for me it's a 'gross cholo'. It is no coincidence that 'Juanma' has noqueado 22 people in 24 fights, and it is no coincidence that nocáuts takes 10 in the first 'round'. Since it was invented excuses, everybody goes well, "lamented Piñero.

    Comanagement Lopez, Peter Rivera, said that the Argentine "is a coward and irresponsible. It's the most silly excuse for his poor performance. "

    "Days before (the fight) talked a lot and talked bad, seeking to intimidate others, but once he was in the ring he finished his guapería and was bent legs," he added, specifying that if they were certain the threats, "had to denounce the United States, a country of law and order."

    Medina even suggested that Lopez and the organization, without specifying whether it referred to the OMB or companies copromotoras Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, were "united in this."

    "Everything was diagrammed in this way ... swear on my daughters that I am saying is absolutely true. I threatened to get thrown. If not, they never would have done something like this, "he said.

    "It's ridiculous to say that these things ... Who knows who is speaking. If you have someone in particular, who is to say, "said public relations for Top Rank for Hispanic, Ricardo Jimenez, who was the direct liaison with the business of Medina during his stay in Las Vegas.

    And David Itskowitch, chief operating officer of Golden Boy Promotions, reacted puzzled by the complaint, but refused to comment and said that it seemed "too strange" the story of Medina. "I had never heard anything similar," he added.

    Rivera, in turn, did not rule out taking action against Medina, declaring that "we will not allow that to tarnish the reputation of Juanma or the company." Jimenez, for his part, stressed that the only viable alternative under the current circumstances would "never again hire him for a fight with Top Rank."
