By Scott Gilfoid: American Eric Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) says he’ll be ready to take full advantage of any mistakes IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs) makes this Saturday night. Molina, 6’4”, says Joshua will be in trouble if he messes up inside the ring. Joshua tends to leave himself open quite a bit when he’s attacking his opponents unfortunately.

All it takes is one mistake by Joshua and he could be out on his feet from one of Molina’s hard power shots. Molina realizes what’s at stake in this fight. If he can score a knockout over Joshua, he’ll make a bundle of cash in the rematch.

Anthony Joshua wants to retire in 5 years

12/08/2016 by Boxing News

By Scott Gilfoid: IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua figures he’s got maybe five more years left in his boxing career before he hangs up his gloves and retires from the sport. That’s if everything goes as planned with his career. Joshua needs to keep his eye on the task at hand for this Saturday, because he’s facing a real big puncher in Eric Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.

It wouldn’t be surprising at all of Joshua gets knocked out in that fight, because Molina is going to be fighting above his head knowing that if he beats AJ, he’ll get a huge money rematch. Molina will be set for life if he beats Joshua. The cash that Molina will get for the rematch will be out of this world good.

BOXING

By Scott Gilfoid: #8 IBF contender Eric Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) realizes that his only chance of beating IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs) this Saturday night is if he knocks him when the two fighters face each other at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK. Molina, 6’4”, will be the visiting fighter walking into the lion’s den in this fight. That means there will be very few Molina fans when he gets inside the ring with the 27-year-old Joshua.

There will be a lot of cheering when Joshua lands his shots and likely next to no applause for Molina when he does anything good in the fight. You can argue that judges tend to pick up their cues in who to score the fight for based on the cheering of the crowd, Joshua would seem to be in a very good position to win this fight on Saturday night if it goes to the scorecards, which is why Molina doesn’t plan on letting the fight go the distance.

Joshua needs win over Molina to get Klitschko

12/06/2016 by Boxing News

By Scott Gilfoid: IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs) one last obstacle in front of him in Eric Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) before he faces 40-year-old Wladimir Klitschko on April 29, 2017. According to ESPN, the Joshua-Klitschko fight is a done deal. The Joshua-Klitschko fight will take place at the 80,000 seat Wembley Stadium in London, UK.

It would be funny as heck if Joshua loses to Molina. He’s supposed to be just an opponent for this fight, but you know how that goes. Molina is the B-side in the equation on Saturday. In other words, Molina is not supposed to win. There’s too much at stake. Molina isn’t going to let it to go the cards.

Klitschko/Joshua a done deal for April 29, Wembley Stadium

12/06/2016 by Bradley Dee

By Bradley D. Cision: At a venue that once hosted 80,000 plus screaming fans for Carl Froch vs. George Groves, we will see a great match up on April 29, 2017 with former Champion Wladimir Klitschko challenging Anthony Joshua for his IBF Championship title.

In a time when fighters like Adonis Stevenson, Danny Garcia, and Canelo Alvarez are not fighting the best, these two fighters are daring to be great and putting it all on the line against each other.

This fight is guaranteed to generate a HUGE live gate and draw a lot of attention worldwide. THIS is the fight to be made in the heavyweight division right now, with Deontay Wilder sitting on the sidelines with an injury.

Haye to be ringside for Joshua vs. Molina

By Scott Gilfoid: David Haye will be at ringside this Saturday night to scout out IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs) in his title defense against American KO artist Eric Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK. Haye is hoping to get a fight against Joshua in the near future, and he wants to pick up some of his vulnerabilities before he faces him.

I hate to say it, but Haye doesn’t need to see Joshua live at ringside to see all the weak spots in his armor. The flaws are there to be seen just by looking at some of the video of Joshua’s recent fights. He’s pretty much the same fighter that won a controversial gold medal in the 2012 Olympics.

Eric Molina: I know I can hurt Anthony Joshua

12/05/2016 by Boxing News

By Scott Gilfoid: Eric Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) will be challenging IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs) for his title this Saturday night on Sky Box Office pay-per-view in what will be a packed house of Joshua supporters at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. The Joshua and Molina fight will be televised on Showtime Championship Boxing in the States starting at 5:30 p.m. ET.

Molina, 34, is going to be out there pretty much by his lonesome with his training team and a tiny number of fans rooting for him on Saturday night. Molina doesn’t care, because he knows he can hurt the 6’6” Joshua if he hits him right.

Joshua says Molina won’t hit him on Saturday

By Scott Gilfoid: IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs) says he’s going to go 12 rounds and not let his opponent #8 IBF Eric Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) hit him this Saturday night on December 10 when the two of them face each other at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.

Joshua, 27, wants to out-box the 34-year-old Molina and show a comparison between how beats him and how WBC champion Deontay “Bronze Bomber defeated him in their fight in 2015. Wilder stopped Molina in the 9th round last year in June. That was a fight in which Wilder was coming off of a fractured right hand injury from his previous fight against Bermane Stiverne.

Haye interested in Klitschko rematch

12/01/2016 by Boxing News

By Scott Gilfoid: If the cards play out right, 36-year-old David Haye (28-2, 26 KOs) and 40-year-old Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) could meet up for a rematch in 2017 if Wladimir is able to beat IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua to take his title.

Haye wants to fight the winner of the Joshua-Klitschko fight. He’s never faced Joshua, so obviously that’s a fight that he badly wants. But if Wladimir is able to go back to the Fountain of Youth to find the energy needed for him to beat Joshua, then Haye would love a rematch with him.

Both Haye and Wladimir will be at ringside on December 10 to scout out Joshua in his voluntary title defense against fringe contender Eric Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.

Lewis talks Joshua-Klitschko fight

11/22/2016 by Boxing News

By Scott Gilfoid: Former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis expects the Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko fight to take place in the near future. Lewis sees the 40-year-old Wladimir wanting to win back his IBF/WBA heavyweight world titles that he lost to Tyson Fury last year in November.

Wladimir would obviously prefer to fight the guy that beat him in Fury, but he can’t do that right now with him ot of the boxing ring taking care of personal problems. Lewis notes. So he sees Wladimir facing Joshua to win back his two of his straps that he lost to the 6’9” Fury a year ago.
