Comments Thread For: Medina: I Spit at DeGale Because He Was Head Butting, Elbowing

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

After the end of the 11th round of his fight with James DeGale, Rogelio "Porky" Medina spit at the super middleweight titleholder. It was a moment caught on camera and a moment that Medina did not deny. He had an excuse to rationalize why he did it, however.

Degale has always been a classless guy, from his time in the amateurs. I still cant believe he won olympic gold with his antics.

Medina didn't get the call, but he did more than enough damage. Nobody has Degale on their Lb4Lb list after that.

Ref warned DeGale but did nothing more, which is b.s. Medina busted him up plenty too, so probably DeGale himself was getting frustrated at his dwindling success and decided to do some fouls. A rematch would be excellent. I think DeGale maxed out as far as talent goes... but Medina is another story. He'd probably do even better the 2nd time around. DeGale is definitely talented, but it just doesn't look like he'll have the belt much longer IMO.

medina should be disqualified on the spot for this spitting nonsense and given a year long ban from boxing

Totally unacceptable (but I'm glad he did it).

He spit on the floor but there was no doubt that it was directed towards DeGale.

Medina spat at him but DeGale's the classless one?

If you think someone is headbutting or elbowing, then do the same back but don't spit at the man.
