By Allan Fox: Carlos Molina (17-1-1, 7 KO’s) is being brought in as the sacrificial lamb for former three division world champion Adrien Broner (27-1, 22 KO’s) to slaughter this Saturday night in their 10 round bout on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather Jr’s fight against Marcos Maidana at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Molina has nothing to lose in this fight, and so he’s going to after Broner immediately to force him into a toe-to-toe battle in the same way that Maidana did with him last December.
The main difference between Molina and Maidana is power. Molina can’t punch, and he’s going to have to use the Paulie Malignaggi approach to beating Broner by throwing a lot of punches in an effort to outwork Broner. Malignaggi was successful with that approach, although he was arguably robbed by the judges.

He had just become a three division champion at 23 years old after beating Pauli Malignaggi in his welterweight debut and was living his dreams. He dabbled into rapping as he went on a city to city tour reciting his lyrics to hip hop fans and was regularly seen partying with various sorts of women. He even released a short tape of himself with two women engaging in a threesome.
By Dan Ambrose: Adrien Broner (27-1, 22 KO’s) says he expects to get a world title shot real soon in the near future, as he’s going to be looking to capture his 4th division world title in his new weight class at 140. Broner isn’t saying which belt he’ll be going after, but it appears that he’s expecting WBA/WBC 140lb champion Danny Garcia to vacate his titles and move up to welterweight. 
By Allan Fox: Adrien Broner (27-1, 22 KO’s) will be putting his reputation on the line next month against Carlos Molina (17-1-1, 7 KO’s) in a fight that Broner cannot afford to lose on May 3rd on the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Marcos Maidana fight card. A loss for Broner in this fight will be a huge blow to his career. At 24, it certainly won’t be over for Broner if he loses to Molina, but it’ll make things very difficult for Golden Boy Promotions to rebuild his career. They’re already trying to rebuild his career by matching him against the 5’5” Molina following Broner’s loss to Marcos Maidana last December. 
By Dan Ambrose: Adrien Broner (27-1, 22 KO’s) revealed today in the media conference call that he expects one of the light welterweight titles to open up shortly. Broner didn’t say that he’ll go after the belt, but it seems very likely that he will. The title he’s talking about is the WBC 140lb belt held by WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia, who said recently that he plans on moving up in weight to the welterweight division. The only way that Garcia doesn’t take that move is if his adviser Al Haymon recommends that he stay at 140. 
By Dan Ambrose: The ring rusty 5’5” Carlos Molina (17-1-1, 7 KO’s) isn’t bothered that he’s perceived to be the underdog against Adrien Broner (27-1, 22 KO’s) next month in their fight on May 3rd, as Molina says he’s motivated by being seen the guy who will be losing when they meet up at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Molina has been resting for the past year since his loss to Amir Khan in December of 2012.
By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions seems to have missed the boat with a major part of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Marcos Maidana fight card on May 3rd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. They’ve added two fighters – Amir Khan and Adrien Broner – in an undercard that is one of the most expensive in the history of the sport due to Khan and Broner’s big names, but they they’ve taking it easy on Broner by letting him fight Carlos Molina (17-1-1, 7 KO’s), an opponent that is almost guaranteed to be knocked out. Khan is facing Luis Collazo on the card, which is a pretty decent fight, but that’s the only good one on the undercard.
By Scott Gilfoid: Carlos Molina (17-1-1, 7 KO’s) doesn’t see himself as the sacrificial lamb being brought in to be slaughtered by Adrien Broner (27-1, 22 KO’s) on May 3rd like a lot of fans see him, Molina actually sees himself as having a good chance of beating Broner. He believes his power, such as it is, will be enough for him to beat Broner. Molina isn’t saying he’ll knock Broner out, but one gets the sense that’s what he’s hoping to do. 
By Dan Ambrose: Former three division world champion Adrien Broner (27-1, 22 KO’s) wants his fans to forget about his loss to Marcos Maidana from last year in December, and focus instead on his upcoming fight against Carlos Molina (17-1-1, 7 KO’s) on May 3rd on the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather vs. Maidana fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
