The night of December 22nd, 2011 was a do-or-die moment for Michael Medina.
A 29-fight professional with three losses heading into his bout with Grady Brewer in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Medina stated before the fight to MaxBoxing.com?s Steve Kim that he would enlist himself in the military if unsuccessful.
That proclamation seemed to work as a sense of inspiration, however, as Medina rallied to pound out a clear-cut decision over Brewer over ten rounds. And in the wake of his recent triumph, you can hear by the tone in his voice just how revived Medina is as he eyes the junior middleweight landscape and everything that his future now holds.
I caught up with the Modesto, California native to get a sense of the fulfillment that came from the Brewer victory and also picked his mind about the motivation he had coming in, his previous setbacks as a professional, training at the Wild Card in Los Angeles, and much more.
