By Scott Gilfoid: Josesito Lopez (30-5, 18 KO’s) has been mentioned as a possible opponent for former IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (27-3, 19 KO’s) in April next year. Lopez, 28, is highly interested in facing Khan, and he thinks he can beat him and make a name off of him. Lopez got a chance to see Khan’s win over the smallish 5’6” Carlos Molina last Saturday night, and Lopez wasn’t impressed at all in Khan’s performance in that fight, noting that Khan is still getting hit despite signing on a defensive trainer in Virgil Hunter.
Lopez said to the Boxing Channel “I wasn’t too impressed. He [Khan] fought a smaller guy fighter. Unfortunately for Molina, he really couldn’t get his attention with any of his punches. He managed to land some punches, some good left hooks, but they didn’t seem to startle Khan too much.”
By Jamil Akram: Watching Amir Khan (27-3, 19 KO”s) taking on a handpicked opponent Carlos Molina (17-1, 7 KO’s) left much to desire for. I can understood why his team picked this opponent to get his confidence and credibility back. Being a fan of Khan ever since he first put on the gloves, I have always rated Khan for his skills and performances but being a household name, being over confident and walking into the ring as a a champion back fired. Any good talent fighter never goes in the ring like a champion but an underdog.
By Rusty Nate: Having watched the weekend’s events I thought I would put something to paper and just review the bouts as they happened.
By John Woolford: This man is brash, he’s at times so cock sure that his behavior can be seen as outright arrogant but lets not forget that this is Amir Khan, a fighter who without fail gets our attention. Love him or hate him he brings to the game a display that the majority of other fighters clearly do not bring which is controversy and lets not forget that controversy is what the sport of boxing has always thrived on.
By Mark Calooke: Last night Amir Khan (27-3, KO’s19) faced off against Carlos Molina (17-1, KO’s 7) in an attempt to save his career after back to back loses. Molina looked like he had been in a fight after 1 round. Khan practically dominated the fight apart from the few times he was rocked, eventually winning at the end of the 10th after Molina was pulled out by his team.
By Allan Fox: Amir Khan (27-3, 19 KO’s) may have had an easy fight against Carlos Molina (17-1, 7 KO’s) on the surface, but it wasn’t all that easy on Khan’s hands, as he reportedly fractured both hands in stopping the 5’6” Molina in the 10th. Sky Sports News is reporting that both of Khan’s hands are fractured. Khan’s hands were photographed and both of them do look swollen, especially his right hand. It’s badly swollen.

McKenna (McJack): Former WBA/IBF light welterweight champion Amir Khan (27-3, 19 KO’s) did what was expected of him in disposing of Californian Carlos Molina (17-1, 7 KO’s) last night at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. Khan won virtually every round and bloodied Molina before the match was stopped by his corner after the 10th round.
(Photo credit: Tom Casino/Showtime) By William Mackay: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer was really pleased with Amir Khan’s comeback win over Carlos Molina last Saturday night in Los Angeles. Khan gave the smaller Molina a real beating en route to a 10th round stoppage. The fight was the equivalent of watching Khan hit a little heavy bag with arms. It was that one-sided, and you can commend Schaefer on his skillful matchmaking or damn for putting such a fight like this together.
By Jim Dower: Amir Khan (27-3, 19 KO’s) came back in style tonight to totally dominate the smaller, slower, weaker lightweight Carlos Molina (17-1, 7 KO’s) in a 10th round stoppage to capture the vacant WBC Silver light welterweight title at the Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California. The fight was halted after the 10th round by the request of Molina’s corner.
By Jim Dower: Amir Khan (27-3, 19 KO’s) did what many people expected him to do and that is easily defeat Carlos Molina (17-1, 7 KO’s) by a 10th round TKO in what meant as a confidence building fight for the down in his luck Khan at the Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California.
