    Not strange. He's 32 and has been in a lot of wars. Hasn't looked good in a long time, even in his win against Bey.

      Molina wasn't the problem

      Broner and Robert Bird were

      Molina was in the 2014 FOTY. He knows how to put on a show.

      Everytime he tried to get inside, Broner would put him in a headlock and lean on him and Robert Bird would break them up and blame Molina.

      If Bird is gonna allow illegal tactics from one fighter and penalize another fighter for nothing than the fight was fixed and theres nothing Molina can do.

        The feints were killing him, the double jab from head to body did wonders. That said, I didn't expect Molina to fight that worried. It's not like him at all and I saw Lundy and Bey school him for long stretches before getting stopped.

            So after watching this fight my question is this..

            Does Molina suck or was this an off-night?
            he sucks its just that simple

              Molina is Molina the Lucas fight waa more about Lucas than it was Molina. I said it then and I said it when this fight was bought up. Ppl fooled themselves into thinking he was something he was not. He is not world class. He's a domestic level fighter. He has a hard time with movement and boxers and his style revolves around him landing one or two big shots. U give him any type of movement and he just stands there unreaponsive.

                he always ******. he just stands there without throwing punches it makes no sense. he scored 1 legit knockdown against matthysse and got beat to hell the rest of the fight. he got schooled by soto. it was the perfect fight for broner to look good in and he didn't even really look good. i'm sure he will move up the rankings with these mediocre victories even though he shouldnt. soto and algeiri weren't moving up the rankings while beating these guys but broner is a special lad.

                  The Soto fight was competitive though within the rounds, one of the rounds was a round of the year contender. For whatever reason Molina looked 10x worse in this fight.

                    When you really want someone to win, or have a great effect on their opponent, or have high expectations, and it isn't happening, it seems like they are doing nothing. I think that's what's going on here with a lot of you. I think he had to fight the way he did. He's no spring chicken and what happened in his last fight is still on his mind. I'm sure he didn't want to gas out. For Molina right now, its much better to lose a decision than get stopped.

                      molina had more moments where he actually looked alive against soto but most of the time he was still terrible. it was like a 50/1 dead to alive ratio against soto and a 100/1 ratio agaisnt broner.
