Fight Review: Khan v Molina

In the main event on Saturday Night, Amir Khan beat up on Carlos Molina.  From the first round on, Khan proved to be to fast, strong and skilled for the shorter and lack-luster Molina.  Khan displayed his full potential at Carlos Molina's expense.  The bout was halted after ten rounds, as Molina's corner put an end to the fight.  It was evident that his pace was altered by Virgil Hunter, Khan didn't bounce much after taking punches, he was much more tamed.  Molina proved to be a stepping-stone to Khan's return, as he was beaten to every punch as he was no match to Amir Khan.  Khan's test is yet to come and time will tell if Khan truly can make his way back to the top with a worthy opponent.

In the undercard bout, Alfredo Angulo battled Jorge Silva.  From the 1st round, Angulo and Silva went toe-to-toe in a no holds-barred fight.  Throughout the fight, heavy punches were thrown and landed.  The younger Silva was no push over against Angulo as he gave him all he can handle.  In the end Angulo was too strong and showed good stamina in the late rounds to get the decision over Jorge Silva by identical scores of 97-93(Three Times).

  In the early bout at the Los Angeles Sports Arena, Leo Santa Cruz faced off against Alberto Guevara.  Guevara brought the fight to Santa Cruz in the 1st half of the fight, but Santa Cruz sustained.  In the 2nd half of the fight, Santa Cruz did enough to earn the decision, although the scores seemed a bit to wide.  The scores came in 116-112, 118-110 & 119-109.  Despite a wide margin on the scorecards, Santa Cruz did deserve the win with a workman-like performance.
