    SFW The Molina who beat Tony Lopez vs the Leija who beat Azumah Nelson (about where I figure their primes were).

    How does this play out and who wins?

    I like Leija but he beat an old version of Nelson.
    I'll go with Molina UD

    Yeah, Leija is a likeable guy. One of the true good guys of boxing imo. I could see either guy winning bet think Leija would edge this one. Both underrated today

    I was never ever impressed by Lejia to be honest.

    His claim to fame is beating a badly faded Nelson.

    Molina was more talented, and every bit as skilled, on top of being awhole lot more durable. I think Molina wins.

    Molina is a better fighter. I go with Molina UD or late stoppage. As stated above, "The Professor" was a bit long in the tooth when he lost a close decision to Leija. And he still managed to knock Leija out in their third meeting.
