I thought it was a good fight, thrilling for sure. More so if you going for the under dog for some.
Molina had Kirklands number tonight and the only thing that messed it up was...
1. his corner man coming in once the bell rang and "forgeting" you can only be saved by the bell in the "last round".
2. it's "always" up to the ref to make the "final" decision. So the ref could have just allowed the fight to continue but instead, he made a rookie mistake by asking someone what he should do in a situation like this. Which is really up to him to make the final decision.
Molina was on his way to win the fight. Hoping there is a rematch. But we will have to wait and see.
Anyone who says the fight was borring is someone that was just there to watch Kirkland get a ko and nothing less. Molina fought his fight and made it a good fight and won the fight.
I don't know how people are complaining about the stoppage.
In my opinion the ref did Kirkland a disservice by allowing Molina to hug Kirkland close all night.
So he benefited from the crap ref all night too late to complain when he gets robbed by the same ref.
You got to take the bad with the good.

i mean it really wasn't a good fight anyways because of how one sided it was, I literally had Molina clinching (lol pun intended) EVERY single round up until the disaster that became the 10th round, mothafluckin knockdown wasn't even legit dude tripped over kirkland's feet but WAS hit in the process so it looks like the punch put him down. But whatever, Kirkland may very well have stopped him had the fight continued the two more rounds, but Kirkland just flat out sucks yo... people criticizing on Garcia but Kirkland makes Garcia look like Mayweather..
good post.....
There was influence from the someone in the first and second row..they were saying: "They entered the ring" and the ref instantly turns around and says: "the fights over"
Shady arse stuff, what a joke
Thats how I saw it confusion in the corner because the bell rang , the cornerman was just responding to the bell , he probably wasnt thinking clear because his fighter was KD and so the bell sounds and he steps in , was no need to stop the fight that was just over reacting from the ref .

technically that is a rule though, but that ref sucks. clearly there was confusion cuz the bell rang even though the ref was counting molina. he should have just turned a blind eye or whatever.
tainted the fight.
I think kirkland was coming on obviously and may have been able to close the show, but molina's smothering and holding tactic (which also is why the ref sucks he should have been warned, taken points) was frustrating the hell out of kirkland and was the reason he was clearly winning the fight.
And **** van hoy that piece of **** judge needs to die
he fought like hopkins
the bell did ring it's not like molina was even hurt the corner was just getting ready to do some work on molina. I mean damn the bell did ring I would have done the same.
