Eric Molina
Eric Molina and other undeserving Heavyweight Challengers
By Darmuid Sherry: On Saturday, Deontay Wilder (33-0) makes his first defence of the WBC Heavyweight Title, in his home state of Alabama against the heavy betting underdog, Eric Molina (23-2).
On paper, the contest looks like a dastardly mismatch. In one corner you have Wilder, a lean, powerful, an athletic 6´7 Olympic Medalist with 18 of his 32 knockouts arriving before the end of the first round. Opposite him, with Molina, you have a journeyman heavyweight, whose 2 losses have both come from first round knockouts, and his most recent calibre of opposition is against the likes of Rafael Zumbano Love and Theo Kruger. Already, this looks pretty ominous for `Drummer Boy´ Molina.

The 6’7” Deontay sees himself becoming even bigger than Floyd. While it may be hard for some boxing fans to stomach right now because Deontay is just now made it to the big time in recently capturing the WBC heavyweight title with an impressive win over Bermane Stiverne last January.
