One would think that since his status as a major lightweight contender was, for all intents and purposes, on the line that John Molina's first thoughts after he stunningly knocked out Mickey Bey in the 10th and final round of their fight on July 19 in Las Vegas would have reflected that. Nope.
"It was my best friend's wife's birthday and they were down there for the weekend and we (he and his wife) were going to stay with them," Molina said. "I know it sounds kind of on a petty level, but if you're asking what exactly I was thinking about, I was really thinking, 'Wow, it's going to be a great weekend after all.' "
Molina, of Covina, Calif., was behind by five, seven and nine points on the scorecards heading into 10th. He was being thoroughly out-boxed, then caught Bey with a left hook to the chin that put Bey in la-la land and sealed his fate.
