Deontay Wilder

By Jim Dower: In a very poor performance, WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (34-0, 33 KOs) looked really sloppy, uncoordinated and unskilled in stopping #9 WBC Eric Molina (23-3, 17 KOs) in the 9th round on Saturday night to retain his WBC title at the Bartow Arena in Birmingham, Alabama. Wilder, 29, knocked Molina down four times in the fight.

Wilder put Molina down once in the 4th, twice in the 5th, and once in the 9th. The fight was halted in the 9th after Molina turned his back on Wilder after getting hit hard by a right hand. Wilder then dropped Molina with a chopping right to the head. Molina also turned his back to Wilder in the 5th for one of the knockdowns.

Wilder thinks this is a level that the 33-year-old Molina has never been on before.

It’s hard to disagree with Wilder because the best guy that Molina has faced in his eight year pro career is Chris Arreola, who blew him out in one round in their fight in 2012.

(Photo credit: Stephanie Trapp/SHOWTIME) By Scott Gilfoid: It’s no secret that #9 WBC Eric Molina (23-2, 17 KOs) is seen as nothing more than a simple fodder opponent for WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32 KOs) to blast out in short order tonight when these two giant heavyweights go at it on Showtime at the Bartow Arena, in Birmingham, Alabama, USA.

But despite people seeing the 6’5” Molina as a knockout waiting to happen tonight, Molina says he’s extremely confident of winning because he feels he’s got the power top hurt the 29-year-old Deontay with his shots. With that said, Molina is going to have to hope that he can land his big shots before Wilder nails him with something huge first.

(Photo Credit: Stephanie Trapp/SHOWTIME) By Scott Gilfoid: After working hard to win the WBC heavyweight title last January, unbeaten Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32 KOs) isn’t about to let challenger Eric Molina (23-2, 17 KOs) take it off him on Saturday night in their fight on Showtime Championship Boxing.

Wilder isn’t going to let Molina have a chance of pulling off a big upset on Saturday night because he plans on scoring a quick knockout of the 6’5” fighter. Deontay wants to unify all the titles in the near future, as soon as he can get IBO/IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko to fight him.

While few boxing fans and media members are giving the 33-year-old Molina much of a chance due to the incredible talent of the 6’7” Wilder, Molina is still a very live threat in this fight due to his big punching power.

By Scott Gilfoid: To show you the kind of incredible punching power that WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32 KOs) has, he was said to have hit former WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne so hard with a right hand to the head that it bent a metal rod that the 6’7” Wilder has in his surgically repaired right hand.

Wilder ended up suffering a broken right hand in that fight. It was the same hand that Wilder broke previously in his career. Even with the broken hand, Wilder dished out a one-sided beating to the 36-year-old Stiverne and was able to easily win the fight by a one-sided 12 round unanimous decision.
