Ward/Hopkins = "top p4p fighters", Molina fights same way&gets called->"unwatchable"

completely agree with you

 

people who don't know **** about boxing said molina's fight was un-watchable. I enjoyed it a lot and my hardcore boxing freinds did too.

 

Yup. Agree.

Mosley even used the same strategy against Margarito, he just has power.

 

Nothing you write after that can be taken as seriously as you'd like it to. Throwing fast combinations while fluidly moving on the inside like Ward before grabbing to reset, or throwing sharp well-timed leads and counters out of a controlled pace while periodically rushing inside to do work in the clinch like Hopkins, are completely different things to what Molina was doing. I didn't find Molina's style "unwatchable", but there's a clear difference in style and class which you're completely glossing over just to make a point. Molina's a good fighter, but his defense doesn't require gross generalizations of other great fighters.

 

Our Brit commentator here, Jim Watt, said something along the lines of "Noone knows who Molina is, so he doesn't deserve it. We need Kirkland to win".

Ridiculous.

 

I think it's fair to say that ppl who like Molina or dislike JK though Molina was fighting a smart fight. Ugly, spoiling, defensive, but smart. And was WINNING.

PPL who like Kirkland or dislike Molina(if there is such a thing) though it was cheating, ugly etc. I mean when a guy is beating the next Mike Tyson, and the hopes of their hero becoming that megastar are slipping away........well, we just say some stupid ass ****.

 

Agreed Bog'. There is a complete different in level of skill in and method in how Molina executed his fight. He did what he could with his limitations but to compare him to Hopkins or Ward is atsch. Either way, I did not find the fight unwatchable but I could certainly was not aesthetically pleasing. He's a typical spoiler and good at what he does.

 

Molina is nowhere near as talented as Ward or Hopkins. Furthermore, Ward and Hopkins are consistently criticized for their fighting styles.

 

:good

 

Boom!

 

this is dead on accurate. One thing about molina is that at his best, he makes his fights competitive against decent fighters. Hopkins and ward, they both dominate on many occasions whereas I don't think Molina has that ability.

 

If you're actually trying to suggest that Molina is as talented as Ward or Hopkins, then there is nothing else to be said. Your idea of what constitutes talent is seriously flawed.
