    Molina has been stopped three times and really does not hit hard enough to have the classic puncher's chance.

    But he has a chance as AJ chin was an issue in the amateurs at times, AJ doesn't have a good defense and might lack some survival skills which are gained with experience if caught. AJ's long term stamina is also untested.

    So if he's caught early or Molina hangs around late, and upset can happen

    I like Joshua in 5 rounds here, but what are Molina's chances in your opinion?

    He hurt Arreola pretty badly and rocked Wilder to his core, he has a a very very very small puncher's chance.

    I think all HWs have some chance but I strongly favour Joshua and dont envisage him losing this one.
    I would guess Joshua early

    id say he has a 80% chance of ending up in the manchester royal infirmary and a 19% chance of ending up in the north manchester general hospital if cross town traffic is too bad

    I voted 11-20% - I know a lot of people will think that's a lot, but it really really isn't... it's just a lot more than a lot of people are giving him. I am probably closer to 10% than 20, but I think that anything under 10 suggests there is practically no risk at all to Joshua while I think Molina has SOME threat to him while I do ultimately expect this to be another dominant performance by Joshua.

    Just don't see it. Molina is too easy a target and gasses out early.
