DeMarco Will Head Straight To Molina HBO Clash

By Osman Rodriguez

According to sources close to the situation, WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (27-2-1, 20KOs) will no longer face Daniel Estrada on July 21st. The fight was scheduled to take place in Rosarito, Mexico and was going to be televised by Televisa.

With an HBO bout versus John Molina Jr. (23-1, 19KOs) set for September 8th, DeMarco's team decided to bypass the Estrada fight.  The fight will open up HBO's super middleweight showdown between Andre Ward and Chad Dawson, which takes place at the Oracle in Oakland, California.
