Big opportunity and experience to learn on. Gets no better than to be on same stage as major heavyweight unification shown Stateside.

Great to see this confident match making. Molina is the type of fighter you would normally see a prospect face after experiencing domestic title level not 19 rounds into a fledgling career.

Adam Booth has proven to be an excellent matchmaker, balancing the perfect mix of risk/reward to gain more than just a W in the column.

Kelly looks phenomenal and this is exactly the right kind of opponent. If it were Molina years ago you’d figure it could be very risky, since the Mexican had such an awkward spoiler approach. Now he’s old, lost his last two against lesser guys than he used to fight(though I haven’t seen the fights), and never had any power. Still means something if Taylor lights him up due to the gulf in experience and the fact molina hasn’t been close to being stopped as far as I know.
