Anthony Joshua vs. Drummer Boy Molina, Official, Dec. 10.

technically molina is not a bad fighter
he has good legs / is in shape/has power in both hands / has good handspeed / is a big 6.4/ 17 stone plus fighter.

but he keeps his hands low and as soon as he takes a decent punch he goes down hard.

whyte v chisora might start before december 10th given there 2 personalities.

 

I don't dispute it. I'll go with what you say though. I simply don't know, I don't even care. I hope Wladimir Klitschko f--ks off, personally. I understand a bit about the boxing business, and when you understand the business you understand that things in reality aren't what the promoters and the media portray it as. So your guess is as good as any. Of course, they want a lot of gullible child-like fans who thing they have it all figured, saying X "ducked" Y and all that rubbish, and "he's scared". That's exactly the buzz they want. It's all an alternate reality. It's media, it's hype, it's BALLYHOO. It's not real. Sorry, if I'm the first to tell you this. Santa Claus isn't real either, while we're here.

Point is, the fight was never on.

 

There are literally better opponents fighting on the same night. The excuse "best he could get" is invalid.

 

Agreed, completely. If there wasn't all the hype about Klitschko then I would have expected a step up fight like this.

It's a bit hard to say tbh, but I am not counting out the possibility of Joshua's stock falling slightly.... or really, Molina's stock rising because Joshua couldn't possibly be human so anyone who challenges him is clearly near-God status apparently. Despite having fought a lower level of competition of Ortiz who has imho been more dominant in his fights so far.

 

Why should this be a upset? El Nica should be the clear favourite.

 

Come on CST80...even me being a one-eyed Parker supporter, and rediculer? of AJ, can see Molina getting puffy eyed and KOéd later in the fight.

 

One thing that annoys me is double standards.

We all collectively shat on Wilder when he faced Molina.

I saw people here mocking Wlad for facing Browne instead of Joshua. I mocked him for that because there were better available opponents.

The same people who threw out these criticisms of the afore mentioned two are now defending this ****.

I don't understand why. I know this is a **** fight. Hearn knows this is a **** fight. The people defending know it's a **** fight. everyone knows it's a **** fight.

Don't defend this nonsense. If Hearn dug deeper or pushed the fight back, or selected Ortiz we wouldn't be putting up with this fight.

Only one defence exists, that is by those who don't see Joshua as a champion, those who see him as a prospect building his resume. fair does. But don't be calling this a world champion defending against the beat available opponent because it simply isn't true.

 

Ortiz will be the stand out performance of this night

 

Why would Wlad make an agreement and sign a contract for a fight he wants no part of?

 

Chisora is tough but has no stamina. Whtye should win this by default. I do expect it to go 12 rounds. AJ vs Molina, depends on if Molina has a viable gameplan to survive, if not he'll be dispatched rather quickly. He has been performing above his pedigree so he puts in a good effort here most likely.

 

Molina beats Chisora who's absolutely in the non threat tier. I won't say garbage like I wanted to, he is who is his, now a gatekeeper soon to be journeyman. Whyte should beat him rather easily.

 

The more I think about it, the more I believe that both would not have fought unless it was a unification fight. Also no actual threats are going to fight each other on short notice, just not going to happen. They would demand a full camp which is at least 10 weeks.
