A great majority of boxers say they come from a boxing family. When lightweight Carlos Molina says it, he means it. Not only is Molina is considered one of the best up and coming prospects in the west coast because of an extraordinary amateur record of 105 wins against only 20 losses on his way to capturing a myriad of amateur titles such as a PAL title and a junior golden gloves championship in 2005 and a California State title and a bronze in the Nationals in 2006 but his twin set of younger brothers are Olympians. Javier combated for the U.S. while Oscar was one win away from participating for Mexico in 2008.
“He lost to the Cuban or else he would of gone to China too,” Molina states rather sympathetically.
Carlos Molina of Commerce, CA, began boxing at the age of ten when his father took him down to the local boxing club.
“I started doing this when I was 10 years old. My dad took me down to the gym and I just haven’t stopped. My dad boxed when he was young,” Molina states proudly of his father. “He has mentioned that they fought without head gear and that he got paid in two fights so yeah, I guess you can say he was a professional for at least two fights.”
“I love that it is a one on one sport and you can hit somebody and not in trouble. You also learn how to defend yourself. Ever since I can remember, I have loved boxing, practicing it and watching it.”
As of a year ago Molina trains out of the Maywood Boxing Club under the watchful eye of Clemente Medina who among others also trains hot super welterweight prospect Alfredo “Perro” Angulo. It’s a change that Molina embraces whole-heartedly.
“Medina is well experienced and we work really well together.”
A sentiment that is seconded by well renowned manager Frank Espinoza who along his son Frankie steer Molina’s career.
“I am very confident in Medina. After Carlos made the adjustment and he went with Medina, Carlos learned a lot of things he needed to learn. Medina is very familiar with the pro style and I think they make a good combination,” Espinoza states.
