Broner by stoppage. Molina is a solid fighter but I think broner lights him up after a few rough moments. 9th Rd TKO
Imagine if Broner loses this. IIRC people didn't give Maidana much of a chance either. All this punchers chance and he's just a solid fighter stuff sounds mighty familiar.
Yeah but Maidana had a good win over Ortiz before he fought Broner whereas Molina hasn't really beat anyone worth mentioning apart from maybe Bey who he was completely outclassed by every minute of the way until he finally caught him.
Not hating on Molina....but don't compare Maidana to Molina....Maidana won about 6 rounds off of Khan and finished Ortiz before he fought Broner, got robbed against Kotelnik, and finished Lopez too. Maidana is a top 5 welterweight...incomparable to Molina
Molina is very crude, but - as already stated - is capable of upsets due to his style. I'll be cheering him on as I suspect a lot of people will. Think this will go Broner's way though
Broner has so many holes in his game but he's won fights so what can I say ? He seems to have something but it's not supreme boxing skill..
This is a good fight.. people (rightfully) panned Broner for always being in with guys who were to small/featherfisted to really hurt him. If Broner screws up, Molina can really hurt him. Matchmaker did a good job with this, regarding actually developing Broner. If Broner gets arrogant, slacks off, gets sloppy- he is going to take serious punishment. If he puts in the real effort, and is able to grow a bit he should win the fight. Molina hits harder than Maidana by a fair bit I'd say. This should be a fun fight to watch. Broner could get his jaw cracked at any time.
I don't know if Molina throws enough to win this. Hes gonna be looking for the big shot the whole night and I think hes not gonna land. Anyone who volume punches will beat Broner imo so if Molina increases his activity he'll win.
Molina wins 2-3 rounds early in the fight, gets KOed late by Adrien Broner. However, Broner looked poor for me in his previous fight against the opponent he was supposed to destroy easily. So Molina will continue revealing AB's flaws and, as/if he stands up and takes a solid opponent, he'll never be taken seriously again.
Not sure... Probably going to look like the DeMarco fight but somewhat more competitive due to Molina being far larger than Antonio. But who knows. As Broner has moved up his power has looked less and less impressive, and his durability has come into question against opponents his own size. He certainly looked mediocre against undersized, light hitting pressure fighter Carlos Molina. Molina is massive though. 4 inches or so taller than Broner. Guy must be a boiler. Anyway, Broner seems most vulnerable to overhand rights. As far as I know Molina is more of a hooker. Broner does leave himself static so he's wide open to bodywork, if you're tough enough to eat an occasional counter. Gavin Reese ripped shots to Broner's body but simply didn't hit hard enough to accomplish much of anything.
