    :thinkJohn Molina Jr. by no stretch of anyone's imagination is a great, skilled or even remotely intelligent boxer, but damn does he put on very entertaining matches.
    Matthysse-Molina is a front runner for fight of the year, just for sheer brutality,its a beautiful display of bloody carnage, the barbarity of boxing at its finest.
    And if that wasn't good enough he followed it up with an excellent very entertaining ballshot filled foulfest that he lost against Humberto Soto on the Mayhem undercard. Easily the fight of the night, odd since it was free.

    I think that this year's fighter of the year award should go to a 2 time loser, just for the entertainment value alone. The Gladiator has delivered immensely this year and deserves some recognition even for his losses.

    No...

    Having an iron chin and getting beat up twice doesn't = fighter of the year.

    That was an excellent fight. Definitely the best competitive match of the whole event.
    Win or lose, that was a great match-up of two pretty evenly matched boxers.
    Those are the kind of match ups I live for in boxing.

    No it cant Molina is entertaining and I'll always love him for knocking out bey in the last round like he did.but the foty goes to the best boxer of that year.which means winning your fights.he will still get plenty of recognition for being in two fight of the year quality fights in the same year.

    Obviously..... but he put up a hell of a FIGHT both times he tried like crazy to win, he's deserving of some kind of honor for being such a badass. He epitomizes everything a fighter should be, even though he lost he looked great doing it, and he fixed his hair...... a lot, during the fights, how badass is that.

    Molina should still get the fight against Broner, it would be far more entertaining than Soto fighting him, and I'd give John a good chance at stopping him, after being outboxed for 11 and a half rounds.
