White Sox right-hander Kelvin Herrera has reportedly been accused of punching a man several times at a cockfight in the Dominican Republic.

According to Mundo Deportivo, a sports newspaper in Barcelona, the man filed a formal complaint against Herrera, 29.

According to the accuser’s YouTube page, Herrera did not want to bet with him. Words were exchanged before a fight broke out.
