Re: Eggington v Molina Channel 5 now
Channel 5 are poor at advertising any boxing on their channel. Had no idea this was on this channel.
To think I was watching Eurovision whilst this was on makes me feel bad.

Re: Eggington v Molina Channel 5 now
Sam Eggington won.
Birmingham’s Sam Eggington saw off the teak-tough Mexican Carlos Molina over twelve hard-fought rounds to win the Vacant WBC Silver Middleweight Championship.
Eggington, 27, knew he would be in a battle with Molina, who had never been stopped 50 fights, and had prepared hard at the famous Eastside Gym with renowned trainer John Pegg.
The hard work paid off as Eggington registered his first victory over a Mexican opponent and with the new belt will gain a top ten ranking with the WBC as he close in on a dream World title shot.
In a two and fro battle, the action rarely stopped and both landed hurtful looking shots but not managing to land anything decisive. Eggington looked the bigger and stronger, but Molina was constantly throwing and moving on his feet.
Eggington kept busy landing good solid jabs to rack up the points leading to the judges’ all scoring the fight in his favour with scores of 116-112, 119-109, 117-111.
He said afterwards, “I can see why the likes of Chavez, Jr., Mike Alvarado and James Kirkland couldn’t stop him and had trouble against him. I knew Mexicans were tough, but that was a good solid test for me. He was experienced and knew how to shrug things off. The win really puts me up there in the WBC rankings. I know I’m getting very close to a World title shot now, I’m happy to box at middleweight or super-welter, wherever and whenever the best opportunities present themselves.
