Luis Sandoval catches up with WBA interim-welterweight champion Robert Guerrero to discuss his upcoming fight with two-time former beltholder Andre Berto.

By Robert Morales - Lightweight contender John Molina confirmed this week what was recently reported by BoxingScene.com, that he is now being trained by Robert Garcia, one of today's top trainers. Molina was being trained by Joe Goossen for the second time when he challenged Antonio DeMarco for his world title Sept. 8 in Oakland. DeMarco stopped Molina 44 seconds into the fight. DeMarco hurt Molina, who eventually sat on the ropes and absorbed several blows before referee Jack Reiss stopped the fight. We spoke with Molina on Tuesday, and asked him why he decided to make the switch. "We were happy with Joe and everything was going good," Molina said. "We just had to make a decision to progress in my career and we thought Robert was the guy to do it with. Robert doesn't accept everybody and the fact that he accepted us with open arms meant a lot to me." Molina said Garcia is one of a few trainers in California who have star power and notoriety. He said that Goossen and Virgil Hunter are two others. "At this stage in my career, Robert was the best for me for my style, and then with the accolades he has accomplished over the past five years," Molina said. Indeed, Garcia has become a very hot commodity in the mode of Freddie Roach, who turns away a lot of fighters because so many want him. "He (Garcia) told me, 'There is not much I need to change on you. I just need to tighten you up in certain areas and we are good to go,' " Molina said. "Robert has actually turned down fighters and he was very excited to be working with me. "He said I'm one of the strongest guys he has ever felt." Molina reiterated he has nothing bad to say about Goossen.
