    Molina managed to shake Wardley, what do you think?

    He's packing glass. A KO waiting to happen.

    If I'm wrong, I'm wrong but I don't rate him. Molina could have won that if he had some heart and wasn't paid to lose. Not even convinced he wins a Brtish title.

    Not only he packs a glass, he looked very vulnerable against Molina. Can't imagine what some of the top dogs in the division can cause to him...

    He's a bit weird. Off-kilter. Look forward to the next one.

    Wardley is absolute garbage.

    The likes of Gorman, Adeleye and Fisher starch him. He won’t even win a British title unless some more funny business goes on with his opponents.

    You must be garbage to have to pay Vallily, Lartey and the corpse of Molina to take a dive against you.

    I will be very interested to see who they will feed him to, once they have fattened up his record some more to make him look like a word beater.

    Maybe they could wheel out Kevin Johnson and pay him extra to take a dive after round 1 so that Eddie can shout out to all the Matchroom fans that he stopped him quicker than AJ did?

    British level but game

    Last night despite the win, he looked awful
    Poor feinting, lack of a bssic jab, sloppy defence and footwork

    He is lucky Molina gives up at the slightest thing these days

    He’s lucky the fight with Lucas Browne didn’t eventuate. Molina rocked him, Browne would’ve slept him.

    Wardley drove me bat **** crazy watching him vs Molina. Mid way thru round 1, how Wardley was keeping his lead hand down, firing from the hip. I kept catching myself yelling at Molina to “throw the damn right hand it’s there”. And he began to do so lol. And catching Wardley up until the end. But not impressed with Wardley honestly. Very wide open and a walking KO in the future if nothing changes

    Lack of amateur pedigree is there to see with his defence and Iq
    He throws from various angles which sometimes hides the lack of the above
    Game though

    I believe he is better than what we saw last night.

    I don't know if he was just trying to impress and stand out but the posing, messing around and face pulling didn't help him.

    The moment there was danger, he opened up and got a finish, strange finish but he still got it, which says to me if he had been a little more straight forward, got down to business he could have maybe ended it sooner and looked more professional and more impressive that way.

    But that said, he is rather green still, he hasn't got loads of experience and it shows, I'd like to see him in a genuine test now, with more danger, we might see what he is capable of because the moment there was danger last night he switched on.

    I quite liked what I'd seen of wardley so far....fast Powerful,good head movement...last night he seemed to think he was Roy Jones..it reminded me of Josh Kelly to be fair and I don't remember him trying to look as flash or arrogant in the past...long way to go now if he's getting rocked off Eric Molina ffs

    Can't see Wardley going to far without nailing down the fundamentals. Its Chris Eubank Jr again.

    He was throwing the jab from the hip, which is ok, its effective if you have the jab from the chin nailed down. How about a hard jab, or a soft jab, what about a range finder jab. When all the jabs from the chin are in your tool bag, yeah bring the jab from the hip in.

    Molina although never a world beater, clearly had more fundamentals than Wardley and that's an old journeyman version of Molina.

    Wardley did take the right hand from Molina well. It doesn't matter wether you rate Molina, if a 250 pound man hits you flush on the chin with a right hand and you stay up, then your chin must be at least average.

    Better than Dubois as Molina was levels better than Dubois' entire resume
