    Molitor vs. Ruiz - disappointing

    I just finished waking up from the fight between Molitor and Ruiz. It was so boring that it was difficult to stay awake. Being Canadian I would love to cheer for Molitor, but he seems to be fighting more for points like an amateur.

    Both were using a counter-punching style which made the fight even more boring to watch. It was disappointing to see Molitor constantly just backing up and just ocassionally throw some combinations. He seems to be very reluctant to mix it up, and he's actually getting tagged on his way out.

    Either I'm getting spoiled watching exciting knockout fighters like Manny Pacquiao or does Molitor need more aggressiveness? Maybe he needs a new trainer?

    Maybe he hasn't recovered mentally from the loss to Caballero, it sounds like he's quite gunshy and not pulling the trigger as he once did, even when he did I wasn't too hyped about him.

    One thing he probably doesn't need is a new trainer though, he's had like 3 new trainers in 4 fights or something, he needs some stability.
