Ishe Smith vs Carlos Molina in July

[Capncrunch]

Wow. Tough first defense for him, pro

Man, that's great.

Molina is a worker in the division and has had to earn everything the hard way. While guys like Cotto, Mayweather, and Canelo were hogging up the belts at 154 without fighting any of the top guys at the weight, fighters like Molina have been toiling away, fighting hardest fights and being on the unlucky end of controversial decisions.

Molina has been handed a golden ticket for a world title here. I'm not a fan of his style but I hope he pulls it off.

[Capncrunch]

Wow tough first defense for him. Props on making the fight though.

I hope Carlos Molina wins this fight and think he will this is not by any means going to be a crowd pleasing fight but I think Ishe is in over his head on this one Molina got this.

[AvoidDisaster]

Molina got this in the bag. I truly believe he is the best 154 pounder there is right now.

[IronDanHamza]

Molina wins.

Props to Ishe for fighting one of the top guys in his divison when he could have tried to hold the title hostage for a while.

THEY NEED TO GIVE A SHOT TO LARA AFTER THIS. EVERYONE IS AVOIDING HIM!

Should be an interesting fight though

Lara had his shot vs Vanes, unfortunately Lara choked.

He'll be in the mix sooner than later though.

lol i thought Lara was gona do better against Vanes, they both looked like crap, Molina already beat Lara, so who even cares about Lara anymore dude has had his chances already

Molina deserves the top spot

“We made an agreement to let [Mayweather Promotions] promote the fight,” Margules said. “We made a deal on the money, on the airline tickets, on the parameters of the fight. I went back and forth with Leonard and we worked it out.”

Now the sides have two weeks to send signed contracts to the IBF.

hopefully both sides sign and we can have that fight in july. i just hope it's fair judging since tmt will be promoting the card with smith being their fighter (and the possibility of it being in vegas as well).
