The two main attractions of the evening are in the house!

[29 September 2019 02:20 · Adam Hamdani]

MOLINA DOWN!

[29 September 2019 02:23 · Adam Hamdani]

Round one: Lopez 10-7 Molina

Molina is dropped twice and somehow survives the round! I don't think he wanted to. It was a big overhand right that dropped him initially and the onslaught just continued from there, with Lopez dropping him again late in the round.

This one surely won't last long...

[29 September 2019 02:23 · Adam Hamdani]

This one is scheduled for 10...

Round two: Lopez 20-16 Molina

Another big round but Molina's legs do a bit better there, nevertheless he is an easy standing target for Lopez.

Lopez is mixing up his onslaught nicely, jabbing to the head and cutting the body.

Round three: Lopez 30-25 Molina

More of the same there. Lopez now fighting the smart fight, he knows he has this in the bag and he's not being wreckless with it. Molina will only be able to take this for so long, he's working nicely behind the jab and waiting to set something nice up for himself.

With around 30 seconds of the round left, Lopez puts in a good body combo to sustain the pressure.

[29 September 2019 02:35 · Adam Hamdani]

Round four: Lopez 40-34 Molina

A very quiet round there. Lopez is still winning it but has possibly begun to tire, his jab had less sting in that one and was even caught by a right which seemed to have impact.

He'll want to be wary.
