Comments Thread For: Eric Molina Confident He Has a Solid Shot To Blast Out Alen Babic

[PBR Streetgang]

Molina can crack some but his punch resistance and will to win or even compete were knocked out of him long ago. Only shot he has would be to land something clean and hard before he's hit and finds a place on the canvas to lay.

I don't rate Babic high, he's small and crude but he is aggressive and appears to hit hard. That alone should be enough to remind Molina where he's at in this stage of his career.

Are you telling me to save my change?

I don’t know, it’s tough.

I think promoters will want a ‘name’ like Molina on a resume if they’ve got a marketable prospect whose ‘zero’ they want to retain before cashing them out in a bigger fight. Hence, Molina’s likely to understand the objective: DIVE!

With Babic, I don’t think he’s marketable other than as a ‘scrapper’, in which case a couple of losses won’t harm him unduly.

But if Molina actually KOs the guy, no promoter’s gonna risk him potentially scarring their pretty boy prospect.

That's what I believe as well. However, Babic's so bad that I decided to give one last chance to The Drummer, well aware that the money will probably be lost...

The drummer boy, Wilders first defense. Give me a break.

Haha, brilliant. To be fair, he does seem like the kind of guy who could actually be so bad, that a guy trying to lose accidentally knocks him TFO

Like I always maintain, Babic is an Ape with Gloves.

I don't know who is more pathetic, Molina or yours truly who still found the nerve to bet on him (and on a draw for good measure!)

OH MY GOD, you actually did it?!

****, how much?

I'm serious man - I wasted a twenty-fiver on the damn fight, ten on the draw and five each on Molina for the first three rounds. Had I used them to bet more than I did on Butaev, I'd have won over two hundreds instead of the sixty-five I was left with at the end of the night...

One thing is for sure, Molina is now officially dead for me

LOL. That sucks big time, but I ****ing love betting anecdotes (as long as they’re not relating to serious addiction).

I don’t know, If I gambled more, I would be avoiding grifters like Molina like the plague, but this latest fight was especially hard to call because Babic is going NOWHERE apart from to a comedy festival as a headliner, or the circus as one of those 19th century strongmen.

Better luck next Saturday; you’ll probably put on Canelo and it’ll probably be the safest best of the last couple of years.
