    Molina is an excellent fighter who much like Abril gets criticiszed for his spoiling tactics but he makes the best out of the tools he's got and gets my props for that. He's tough as hell and uses ring smarts and spoiling tactics to beat opponents with greater gifts.

    He's fighting Ishe Smith on July 19th for Ishe's newly acquired IBF strap. Do you think he wins?


    I think Ishe's team are nuts for this fight, they should have cashed out with Cotto. Molina is very high risk/ low reward and I see Molina winning this fight and sending Ishe back into obscurity without a payday.

    I also see Molina being a longtime belt holder because no one thats good enough to beat him will wanna fight him due to the spoiling style that makes you look like **** even in victory. Molina's a tough fight for anyone, no one blows through him and he's a live dog vs anyone at 154 even Canelo and Trout.

    Yeah I fancy Molina in this. I didn't know it was happening. He's one of those guys who doesn't get enough credit. I'd have went for a name like Cotto too. Silly move by Smith if it goes ahead. Is it a voluntary or mandatory?

    No, Ishe will take his boss' advice and duck and cherry pick the
    most worthy challengers for the less risky ones to pad his acct.
    Ya know, old fighters, shot fighters, light punchers, slow plodders,
    just guys who pose NO risk.

    I think Molina is Ishe's mandatory. I remember watching his fight on Friday Night Fights; it was an eliminator, so if I'm not mistaken, he was put into mandatory position. I could be wrong, though.

    I think he will. Molina is a very good fighter who has had some unfortunate calls against him, i.e.: Chavez, Jr. and Kirkland.

    nah ishe's not the kinda dude that gets credit in close fights cause his workrate is so low. he can make you look foolish missing and still lose on workrate alone. ishe's always been super skilled and i like him but he doesn't let his hands go ever.

    this is fight between 2 hard luck guys who are underrated and never get judges credit.

    Ishe should be praised, not criticized, for giving Molina a chance. He knows that long and winding road, and can sympathize. He was never going to simply turn and cash out.

    Considering the reward for risk (unless you prize cred among diehards as some great reward) he is a sainthood nominee.

    Molina will finally get his title. This guy i have said is thr best 154 pounder. After Canelo beat Trout i do have to bump him over Molina but if they were to meet Molina wojld be favored by me.

    Just too tricky for anyone...
