Jhonson vs. Gutierrez

By Jim Dower: In an all around disappointing fight, unbeaten junior middleweight contender Erislandy Lara (15-0-1, 10 KO’s) struggled to a 10 round majority draw with Mexican Carlos Molina (17-4-2, 5 KO’s) on Friday night at the Cosmopolitan Resort, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The final judges’ scores were 97-93 for Molina, 95-95 and 95-95.

While his compatriot, Erislandy Lara, may be getting the lion’s share of the limelight this Friday night in the main event at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, he may not even be the best Cuban light middleweight on the card.
