Round five: Lopez 50-43 Molina

You can hear Molina's crowd screaming at him to move, but he remains a standing target and seems willing to be a reactive puncher.

Lopez was busier in that round, feinting and throwing the jab out. Better from Molina who seems more awake at least.

After that first round, who'd have thought we'd get here!?

Fair play John Molina.

[29 September 2019 02:40 · Adam Hamdani]

Here's the first of those two knockdowns in the first.

Mean punching.

Round six: Lopez 60-52 Molina

A much better start to the round for Lopez who looks like he wants to take his opponent out again, landing clean but Molina is resilient and gritty.

Lopez has started working the double jab and following up with body then headshots, how much more of this can Molina take?

Round seven: Lopez 70-60 Molina

Lopez has Molina down again! He takes an eight count but surely needs to be pulled out at this point, he's enduring far too much punishment.

[29 September 2019 02:49 · Adam Hamdani]

A weird moment there.

The doctor went over to check on the state of Molina and wasn't happy with what she saw, saying she wanted to pull him out. His corner persuaded her to let him fight on for one more round, so here we go.

Onto round eight.

[29 September 2019 02:51 · Adam Hamdani]

And it's all over! The referee stops the fight after an onslaught and if one thing is certain, it's that Molina definitely shouldn't have been allowed back out there.

Josesito Lopez wins by stoppage.

[29 September 2019 02:56 · Adam Hamdani]

Josesito Lopez, speaking after victory, says he wants a rematch with Keith Thurman.

Mario Barrios takes on Batyr Akhmedov.
