Molina vs Joshua..........

Smh indeed.

 

Anthony Joshua doesn't need a pass. Its his 18th fight. Stop holding him to a higher standard just because of the hype. He's on the right track.

 

He is also a belt holder. once you get a title you can't go backWards without bit of moaning from the general public.
Molina I hope will put up a real fight. That's the only real issue isn't it. It's the concern he'll fall over ala Prince Charles...or stand still for 8 odd rounds like Brazeale.

 

Wlad is injured and Parker is fighting for the WBO so I won't be vindicating him just yet, a keep busy for extra rounds makes sense before two testing unification fights next year. He should really get Molina out in two but I won't be surprised if we see a repeat of the Breazeale performance for experience.

Disclaimer: I haven't tuned into boxing since Fury's impersonation of Charlie Sheen so I have no idea who his other options were for December. Who's available?

 

Not many available as all the top 20-30 were lined up for fights. In the IBF there was Hughie Fury, Jarred Millar, and Izu Ugonoh (off the top of my head). Seems like Hearn after not being able to line up Wlad, threw some low-ball offers out there and Molina took a bite.

 

No one better would take the fight at short notice (Pulev apparently pried himself out), so I give Joshua a pass (just like I gave Wilder a pass for Arreola since it was last minute).

But both of the above ought to start fighting better opposition in 2017 ...

 

They sold 17k tickets in the first day, huh?

 

Well, at least it's a nice opportunity to show mister Bumsquad that you're supposed to get Molina out of there inside 3 rounds.

 

You can get 14-1 at Paddy Power on the Drummer Ploy. Worth a punt for sure, Molina was competitive against Wilder throughout the fight and Joshua's chin is made of egg shells.

 

yessir

 

It's not an appealing match-up but after the Wlad fight fell through and Pulev said he needed more time to prepare ... I guess it's passable.

 

Okolie is not on Dave Price's Christmas card list.

 

aj will knock this guy out quick like arreola did !!

 

Yo...
