Anthony Joshua destroys Eric Molina

By Scott Gilfoid

IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) made easy work of #8 IBF challenger Eric Molina (25-4, 19 KOs) in stopping the reluctant fighter in the 3rd round on Saturday night at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.

Molina, 34, was absolutely not interested in fighting tonight, as he did zero in terms of throwing punches until being stopped in the 3rd round. Joshua dropped the 6’4″ Molina with a right hand to the head in his corner. Molina made it back up at the count of 8. Joshua then finished Molina off with a three-punch combination that resulted in the referee Steve Gray halting the fight at 2:02 of the 3rd round.

The way that Molina went down from the knockdown in the 3rd, he looked like he had no interest in getting up at all. He just saw there on his backside in the corner after getting dropped. Frankly, I was surprised that Molina even bothered to get back up, because he looked totally disengaged mentally, as if he didn’t want to be there tonight.
