WHich is giving Sam more chances to counter. Sam starting to tee off, lands several straight rights and left hooks. Sam throwing one two after one two. Molina backs him into the corner, Sam shells up and is defending well, still its not a good look. Sam comes off the ropes, lands a few hooks prompting Molina t hold. Vicious right hurts Molina, then he follows up with a left hook to the body. He follows up, Molina not liking the body attack.
