By Dan Ambrose: Former world title challenger Eric Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) is hoping to capitalize on his 10th round knockout victory from last Saturday night over former two division world champion Tomasz Adamek (25-3, 19 KOs) to try and get a title shot against the winner of this Saturday’s fight between IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin (23-0-1, 21 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (15-0, 15 KOs).
Molina, 6’4”, feels that he has a good chance of facing the winner of the Martin-Joshua fight because of his spectacular one-punch knockout of the 39-year-old Adamek in their fight at the Tauron Arena in Krakow, Poland. At the time of the stoppage, Molina was trailing by the scores of 88-83, 88-83, and 88-83.
