erislandy lara is gonna be p4p along with gamboa and even odlanier has a chance if he comes back to 220lbs
Good test, Molina should have a W over Chavez Jr., he comes to fight, he's tough and durable and he's on the best run of his pro career. He was out for too long however, so he should push Lara harder than his last few opponents but I see an aggressive Erislandy forcing a ref stoppage around R8 after a competitive start. Yudel Jhonson vs. Richard Gutierrez will be also televised. Jhonson is in need of an impressive win, in fact he needs to outperform Lara to make some noise, I bet he doesn't like being the 2nd best southpaw LMW from Cuba. But I see him getting a decision vs. Gutierrez. Dorticos is als in action, but other than the name, the opponent William Mitch Williams doesn't bring anything interesting to the table.
I know Solis needs to reevaluate his commitment to the sport, the injury could had been all that extra weight that he carried for so long, IMO if he comes down to 225-235 he could b a force to b reckon with, Lara, Gamboa and Rigo are way ahead of him, not because talent but because their commitment.
Enough with the warmups. These AMs are wasting their "pro" careers. IMO its going backwards in their progress.
I think Lara is ready to move onto the next level but this isn't a bad fight. At the very least, Molina should give him a tougher test than his last few opponents. He should get some rounds in against a tough fighter. Lara's been calling out quite a few guys lately, hopefully someone like Austin Trout will be next before he fights someone like Cintron and we can see if he's as good as I think he is.
After this fight, Lara vs Alvarez or Wolak would be nice. It is now time for Lara to step up his competition. He is almost 28 yrs old. Time to be recognized by mainstream media and casual fans.
