Molina took a dive

[HeThaTruth]

Jab was sharp and he actually is trying to emulate Floyd's body head jab style. Molina was always garbage mickey bey couldn't even beat Vasquez without his judges and did more damage than broner did to Molina before getting KO'd

[Masters diss]

Why he sold out and was it worth it?

Hell yeah I agree this wasn't the same Molina that fought mythis . he look like he was fighting with himself on why did I take the pay off. Molina sold out and I wonder was even worth it?

[boliodogs]

I don't know if he lost on purpose but the viciousness and will to win he showed in the Matthysse fight were completely missing in this fight. Maybe Lucas ruined Molina because he hardly threw any hard punches. He would not let his hands go and made Broner's job easy.

[Jewish-Reptile]

Not sure i buy into this, John Jr. fought completely different to how he fought against Lucas, in the last round he had dropped his guard and was throwing punches like he knew he'd taken Broner's best shots and was still there, the previous 11 rounds he fought scared and shelled up. The Lucas fight clearly took something out of him.

Props to Broner he schooled him, fought a perfect fight.

[Spray_resistant]

Nah, he was never great but has good power and Matty may have taken something out of him. He seemed very gun shy and expecting Broner to do his work for him while Broner used a good gameplan even if he didn't impress.

[daggum]

his gameplan was to make broner hit himself tyson fury style. it just didn't pan out.

[mathed]

So Obvious

Broner stood in front of him almost the entire fight yet after the fight, he says that he couldn't get to Broner because he was running all night. Maybe I just thought I saw Molina standing no more than 3 feet from him with his guard open so Broner could punch right through waiting for Broner to tag him 3 times only for him to stand there some more. Clearly a payoff, people saying otherwise got blinders on.


Here are some comments from Molina not more than a week ago regarding his thoughts on this fight.

http://R.I.N.G.TV.craveonline.com/ne...fighters-fight

When asked about Broner’s last two fights since the Maidana loss, Molina says that he certainly saw a few things he could take advantage of. But, perhaps more importantly, he figures that he’ll be able to touch Broner with more than “The Problem” has been touched with in the previous 24 rounds.

“I’m definitely not Emmanuel Taylor or Carlos Molina,” Molina said. “Not to take anything away from them. They don’t have the pop that I have. I don’t think he will be too willing to engage in this fight as he was with them.”

"JM: I'm on a grand platform of 130 million homes worldwide on primetime television, so of course I want to perform my best. I hate to lose at checkers, let alone a fight of this magnitude. We're already a known name now, and we passed a couple of humps, and so a win over Adrien Broner would catapult my career into the stratosphere and that's where I want to go. I'm a family man and this is how I provide for my family. Boxing has done nothing but wonders for me financially. I don't ever want that to change. It wasn't always like that.

Now that we're here, I want it to stay like this forever. I don't want this lifestyle to change for my family. That's motivation enough to get me up and ready for this fight, especially being on the platform of NBC primetime television."

"That fight [Bey fight] changed my life. I signed with Haymon and we're today fighting on the biggest event in boxing. People ask me what was going through my mind in that last round, I say, I have a mortgage to pay! I have a daughter I want to send to college."

"JM: Al knew exactly what he was doing when he put this fight together. I think it will be a brutal, barn burner. I'm going to hit him every opportunity he gives me. I'm going to bully him and make him know he's in a fight. That's the key to victory. I believe this is classic boxing at its best. I think the world is going to see what they've been missing. There is a villain and a hero and we already know who wears what hat. I'm rightfully the underdog but I have the lottery ticket in my hand right now and I have to go cash it in."



He did the exact opposite of everything he said he wanted to do and was going to do last night. He did let the interviewers know how important "this lifestyle" is to his family though and how he never wants it to change. I know he made 125K for the Soto fight and that last night, he made almost 4 times that amount. Not sure what he made for the Matthysse fight but that kind of money will make people do all kinds of things.

Below are some pics of Molina throwing sharp, accurate punches unlike the super-wide, ultra-slow punches designed to miss that he was throwing last night.

[PulpFriction]

Jab or not, quicker or not, Molina's effort was simply pathetic. That's what's so troubling. I refuse to believe Broner's punches are all that kept Molina from throwing more. If he's shot, OK. If he got paid or decided to just take the money, great. But he clearly could have done more regardless of WTF Broner did. Hell, ****in bum rush the guy w/arms flailing, anything! Dude didn't want it, and it was pathetic.

This and i don't ever wanna see Molina Jr again

[daggum]

i wonder how much haymon gave molina for his daughter's college fund?

[#1Assassin]

nonsense..

molina was the same fighter he always is, a predictable and one dimensional slugger with poor balance. he has always had a limited offense, poor defense and terrible balance. broner did a good job of making him miss entirely, exposing that bad balance and not allowing him to get of in combinations. did a good job of predicting the simple minded attack of molina in general.

watch any molina fight, even the ones where he won looked more or less exactly like this except he pulls something out of his ass at the end. bey and lundy arent the caliber of broner, they got sloppy and molina capitalized. until that point the fights were very similar. matthysse came at him, with the limited boxing ability molina has he had no choice but to just let em' go to hold him off as long as possible. when guys box he mostly follows thema round looking for a big looping right hand and follows up with a left hook every once in a while.

some of you are ******s. "duuuuuuuuhh, he fought completely differently than he did against matthysse!"

yeah, no ****. broner is an entirely different fighter than matthysse. molina dealt with skills, defense and movement the same way he always did. soaking up punishment, winging the odd right hand hoping he gets lucky at some point.
