Sam Eggington vs. Carlos Amado Molina & Kaisee Benjamin vs. Martin Harkin RBR.

Egg round 8. How Woodall thought that was a drawn round i will never know.

 

Rd9: This is Eggingtons to lose so far, its competitive but you get the feeling Eggington knows he needs to up the pace and he can.

First minute is close, both exchange jabs, Molina trying to work his way in, nice 1-2 twice.

Molina is having success here in the first 90 seconds.

Eggington lands a few nice jabs but seitches off and Molina puts some pressure on 30 seconds of the last minute.

Eggington comes back strongly last 30 seconds with pressure, Molina misses with 2 left hooks up top, fires back last 5-10 seconds with a 1-2.

Rd9: CLOSE Round, gave it to Molina, sustained the workrate most of the round and controlled the centre a lot.

Rd9: Molina.

 

Eggington's actually become a defensive fighter, never thought I'd be saying that

 

Good eggsample of why boxing will survive post Sky Sports.

 

Rd10:

First 30 seconds Eggington sets a good pace out of the blocks and backs Molina up slightly, who looks a little uncomfortable with this pace.

Molina feet slowed down and they trade up close, GOOD counter left by Molina in the pocket but he is being outworked slightly.

Last 30 seconds of the 2nd minute and Molinas tempo drops, he doesn't have thag same footwork he did the last 2 rounds.

GREAT work from Eggington? Lands some big shots last 60 seconds and he is starting to turn the screw here but Molina counters well with the left, Woodhall notes Eggington needs to keep his gloves up for that counter and I agree!

Rd10: Eggington

 

He will never be a world beater but his defence has improved hugely.

 

Rd11: They start off trading jabs, Molina on the front foot trying to pressure Eggington but he is missing a few of his jabs falling short and Eggington looks the fresher younger fighter here.

Eggington judging the range nicely, even slipping a few jabs!

Eggington sits on the ropes near the end of the 2nd minute, Molina loads up but mostly blocked on the gloves by Eggibgton.

Molina pressuring first 30 seconds of the last min, lands some good bodywork.

Eggington countering with some nice jabs on the backfoot, first time I've said that about him EVER.

Closer round but felt Eggington controlled it nicely on the backfoot and had the better overall success.

Rd11: Eggington.

 

Good win for Egg

 

Good fight

Egginton 8-4 Molina

 

Rd12: Molina comes out like he knows he is behind in the first 30 seconds (he is).

Nice work by Molina, Eggington clearly wants to see the round out but he isn't putting anything out at distance and Molina works him over on the ropes for a good 20-30 second burst.

They both have a shoot out for 10 seconds but Molina is having the better success.

Molina is fighting with the energy of a 20 year old this round.

Great last round!

Rd12: Molina - Threw the kitchen sink at Eggington.

 

Decent little scrap to be fair.
Not sure where he goes from here though, no-where near good enough to be facing a top-10 middleweight and the domestic scene is thin.

 

8-4 Eggington.

Could be 7-4 with the 7th a draw round but it was an easy contest to score for the most part.

Really enjoyable fight that in the 2nd half, credit to Molina for making it a fight at the end.

 

Think eggs deserves some bacon. Fair play looked very clever there at time's

 

What a last round. I scored it 117-113 to Eggington. I scored two even rounds.

 

116 - 112
119 - 109
117 - 111

UD Eggington

119-109 card was terrible.
