It was formally announced on Wednesday that John Molina will be matched up against Adrien Broner on March 7th on the much ballyhooed debut of 'Premiere Boxing Champions' on NBC from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
And in preparation for this fight, the heavy-handed Molina will once again be under the guidance of trainer Joe Goossen. Last April as the 32-year old from Covina, California went back-and-forth with Lucas Matthysse( losing via 11th round TKO, eventually) he had the services of Goossen. The veteran trainer did not work with Molina as he then dropped a decision to Humberto Soto back in September.
To say that they've had an off-and-on relationship would be an understatement as more than a few times they have parted ways and then reunited -- only to part ways again. But as for now, Goossen is Molina's trainer.
"We're like Ross and Rachel from 'Friends'," quipped Goossen.
