Super bantamweight Rau’Shee Warren shut out veteran Jhon Molina over four rounds for the unanimous decision victory in the opening televised bout. Scores were 40-35 across the board for the three-time U.S. Olympian and world amateur champion.
Warren (8-0, 3 KOs), from Cincinnati, Ohio, initially benefitted from a gaffe in the first round, as Molina clearly slipped but the referee ruled it a knockdown. From that point forward, while Molina had a few successful moments on the inside, Warren’s handspeed, bodywork, and combination punching carried him through the next three frames.
At one point, the American southpaw teed off on the 5-foot-2 Molina (32-25-3, 20 KOs), reeling off a smooth string of five consecutive punches highlighted by a sharp right hook. But the Colombian was outgunned but undeterred. In the last minute of the fight, he caught Warren with a pair of lunging shots and some bodywork with the Olympian on the ropes.
