The Official James Kirkland vs. Carlos Molina Vote Thread

[UglyPug]

I do agree that if a ref is going to "follow the rule book to the tee", he should have warned, and subsequently deducted Molina for holding. .

Just like in the Khan fight, I didn't tihnk Khan deserved to be deducted for pushing off. . ALL FIGHTERS clinch/hold/push off to best suit their fighting style, i.e. outside or inside fighter.

I'm sorry, but as a neutral standpoint here, Molina got EXACTLY what he deserved, a DQ. How could ANYONE in here cheer and stand by Molina when he was literally doing nothing but throwing one punch at a time and UNEVENTFULLY holding. For the person in here who said "that's funny coming from you who are a fan of Bhop and Ward" There's a difference with what Molina was doing, and what they do. They actually FIGHT inside, not just grab you, hold you against the ropes and do nothing at all, while the ref stands by watching like nothing was happening.

Kirkland landed everytime he threw just about, and Molina DESPERATELY held him EVERY TIME. Finally Kirkland got a nice right hook in and dropped him, you could tell Molina was done in that tenth round even when he first came out, as soon as he didn't have the strength to hold Kirkland as much, look what happened, Kirkland started hammering him and dropped him. I used to like Molina, I was rooting for him to beat Cintron. But THAT was the MOST pathetic performance I've ever seen from a PROFESSIONAL fighter. Everytime he actually stood and actually boxed with Kirkland, Kirkland had the upper hand, and got off nice shots. I mean LOL at the people in here who were like "Molina's schooling him, this is savvy greatness" LMAOOO. GTFO. What Molina did to Cintron, was OUTBOXING someone, and showing skills, not what he DID TONIGHT. I expected Molina to spoil, but Jesus Christ not like this.

Great post, nailed it.

They allowed the Pac-Clottey fight....worst mistake the texas commission ever made

How is that texas fault?

Clottey was the sole person responsible for that turd of a fight.

henry akwindada thinks molina should have been dq'd 5 times over.

The ref in the Khan/Peterson fight would have had Molina DQ'd as well. . .

[Devils Advocate]

Only if they have a competent ref that won't allow Molina to hold Kirkland closer than a lover all night long.

Molina was attempting to make love in the ring with all that holding, smothering is one thing but billy goating, clinching, and holding was worthy of a DQ or at least 4 or 5 warnings.

Lol at these Hopkins and Ward fans complaining on the way Molina fought.

You guys are garbage ass fans.

Holding is good for the sport, it let's fighters get to know each other better.

Molina was 10X worse than Khan tonight.

no joke, probably in the 5 or 6th round.

Because the ref called time out before he jumped in. It was not the same situation.

corner is not allowed to enter the ring during time outs. why do you think you never see corner men strolling into the ring when guys are taking time for low blows. roger also started a riot so if there was ever a time to dq someone it was then....but of course that didn't happen.
