(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Dan Ambrose: Adrien Broner (27-1, 22 KO’s) will be trying to look good this Saturday night in his tune-up/stay busy fight against Carlos Molina (17-1-1, 7 KO’s) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Golden Boy Promotions and Broner’s adviser Al Haymon have backed him off of world class opposition following his one-sided 12 round decision loss to Marcos Maidana last December in order to get Broner back on the winning track. Molina doesn’t have the talent to compete with Broner, or at least he shouldn’t have the talent to compete with him.
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 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. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be having Adrien Broner (27-1, 22 KO’s) and Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) both on his May 3rd fight card at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, but unfortunately both of them appear headed for disappointing fights that make it hardly worth having them on his career. Broner is said to be fighting Carlos Molina (17-1-1, 7 KO’s), and we’re talking the light welterweight version of Carlos Molina, not the IBF junior middleweight champion.

By Dan Ambrose: There’s been a change to the Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Alfredo Angulo undercard on Showtime pay-per-view on March 8th. The Jorge Linares vs. Nihito Arakawa fight won’t be on the PPV portion of the broadcast, according to Dan Rafael.
