By Robert Morales - Melissa St. Vil was back home in New York City on Tuesday, just two days after she said she was assaulted by her former trainer, Roger Mayweather.
"I'm sore, real ****** up," St. Vil told BoxingScene.com via telephone from a friend's house.
St. Vil described in spine-tingling detail the events of Sunday morning that took place in a Las Vegas condominium owned by Mayweather that had been inhabited by St. Vil and fellow boxer Cornelius Lock the past several months.
Mayweather, who trains his nephew Floyd Mayweather Jr., was arrested on felony coercion and battery-strangulation charges, according to the Associated Press. He is free on bail, but St. Vil said not only will she be back in Las Vegas to testify against Mayweather at his trial should there be one, she will file a civil lawsuit against the 48-year-old former super featherweight and super lightweight world champion.
The scariest part of her account came as she described the tail end of the incident.
"Oh, yes, of course," said St. Vil, when asked if she feared for her life. "Oh, my goodness. "When (the officer) came, he (Mayweather) was choking me. My heart, everything was stopping. It was beating slower and slower. I have blood in my eye from the pressure. [details]
