Hehe got 'em coach. I think Molina was expecting another jab and got caught with that straight left. DeMarco let me down tho. He was throwing nothing but head shots when the body was wide opened. He landed 1 body shot and went back to the head where most of the time he was just gracing.
You got all that in 45 seconds? LOL
It was hard to see if Molina was squatting or if the ropes held him up, Molina should have taken a knee or tried to hold. He brought this upon himself.
I agree! typically Reiss is a really good ref too, just had an off night..I was bragging how the fight was gonna be a toe to toe war!..and the ref took that from us!..lol
I don't know about him being a good ref. I'm still pissed off at the Carlos Molina DQ...
I was hoping that the ref would give him the benefit of the doubt, saw that he was sitting on the bottom rope and gave him an 8-count.
If only we had one of these:

In the heat of the moment I don't think Molina thought it would get stopped..the ref should've definitely gave him an 8 count and counted it as a KD..I don't agree it was wayyy too early in the fight for him to stop it...Molina still had some fight in him to recover after getting an 8 count..I'm disappointed with that stoppage.

Im a pretty harsh critic bro. Even of those fighters I like. What if the ref had stopped DeMarco from throwing to separate them and the fight continued? DeMarco would've been gassed by the time the first round ended and could've pretty much lost. It just annoys me that these guys don't go to the body enough or at all. There's nothing better than wearing your opponent down to the body then going for the headshot.
Well he did have a considerable height advantage, which always makes it harder to throw body shots as it'll make him more vulnerable to counters.
Plus, it was only the first round, the feel-out round. The only one that should be criticized is Molina for not being smart enough to take a damn count. He had an Ortiz moment, his brain just froze in there.
The fight only lasted 45 seconds, give him a break lol

Ref messed that up. You cant squat below the waist and he was in that position for like 10 seconds and let demarco punch when he should have stopped the action and separated the fighters
Very true. When people said he got stopped, I imagined that he was getting battered on the ropes with a high guard. But, he was basically sitting on the lower rope which left him open to get hit on the top of the head. It's a very disputable stoppage, but Molina didn't do himself any favors. I wonder why the hell he refused to go down.
am I the only one who thinks that he was pulling a Sweet Pea or a Mayweather, just getting real low from punches? The diference is when they do it, they arent hurt and he clearly was but I dont think he was totally out of it.
Still, I tell people this all the time. The Southpaw style is a huge advantage and most guys just dont know how to fight against it. Thats what this was about
