Last I heard, winning 7/8 rounds, knocking down the dude 5x isn't struggling.

I saw a fight 3 or 4 years ago, under card, 8 rounds, some young, undefeated prospect in fancy shorts against some old journeyman with a string of losses. I forget their names.

Anyway, the young kid easily out boxed the journeyman in every round, it was barely competitive, however the journeyman scored around 6 flash knockdowns in 4 or 5 of the rounds and therefore won on points.

Not sure what I'm trying to say, but the thread title reminded me of this fight. There's a message in here somewhere.

 

And WBC put him ahead of Arreola who KOed him the very first round. It is a disgrace.

 

Maybe the WBC ranked him ahead due to winning 5 straight while Arreola had lost 2 of his last 4?

 

Molina is a guy they brought in for Wilder to KO in 1 or 2 rounds. The fact that he went 9 with a guy as limited/mediocre as Molina speaks volumes. I have no doubt Vitali Klitschko could exercise his WBC Emeritus status and come out of retirement and beat Wilder.

Wilder really needs to fight Povetkin or Wlad next and end this circus.

Another opponent the caliber of Molina does nothing for him.
