Showtime Fight Night! Provodnikov vs Molina Jr plus some

[Kirkland Laing]

Molina winning this at range. This could be the end of Provodnikov as a main event fighter.

[Spicoli]

4-2 Molina heading into second half. Molina buzzed in 6th but Provo is becoming a spectator waiting in line. This rate though not sure Molina keeps it.

Molina winning this at range. This could be the end of Provodnikov as a main event fighter.

He'll still be very relevant as a guy whom a rising star can fight in order to get to a big time fight. "If he can get past the tough, rugged Provodnikov...."

[Spicoli]

6-3 Molina. Half of Provos work is used just to get close enough...then he watches. He needs a knockout

[Kirkland Laing]

Both British TV guys scoring it give it to Molina by one round. Probably about right.

Very true for both before and after this

[Spicoli]

7-4 Molina into final round. Molina a machine from start to finish. Didn't see that coming

116-112 Molina here. I want to see Provo win it but we didn't.

[Sleepwalker]

Reasonable scorecards, even the 117-111 score. There were some rounds that could have swung either way.

He can be an opponent type guy but if he loses here it's the end of his upward trajectory.

And he lost. Oh well. Lomachenko.

Yeah, he's in Ricardo Mayorga territory.

To be fair, Mayorga beat better competition and lost to superstars.

Provodnikov looked a lil shopworn but mostly his usual plodding self. Kudos to Molina who showed he can box.

How did anyone have that fight close. I had Provo winning two rounds. 116-112 would be best case scenario. 115-113 was way too close. Molina easily won 8 rounds, Provo easily won 1 round, and 3 rounds were fairly close.

What a surprise! Who called a Molina win before this fight?
