By Allan Fox: After a year of taking soft fights at light welterweight, Adrien Broner (29-1, 22 KOs) will be taking a step up in class against lightweight slugger John Molina (27-5, 22 KOs) on March 7th on NBC’s series called “Premier Boxing Champions” at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Broner, 26, sees the Molina fight as bringing him a step closer to winning a 140 pound title. Broner has already won world titles at 130, 135 and 147. Broner’s time as the IBF welterweight champion was short, as he was beaten soundly by Marcos Maidana in a fight in September 2013.
