Showtime: Amir Khan vs. Carlos Molina

Dec. 15
At Los Angeles (Showtime): Amir Khan vs. Carlos Molina, 12 rounds, junior welterweights; Deontay Wilder vs. Kelvin Price, 10 rounds, heavyweights; Alfredo Angulo vs. Jorge Silva, 10 rounds

Amir Khan 139.75lbs vs. Carlos Molina 139.75lbs







Deontay Wilder 223.5lbs vs. Kelvin Price 240lbs



Alfredo Angulo 154.5lbs vs. Jorge Silva 156lbs

And the padding of Wilder's career continues.

Angulo was awful in his fight, he was stunned by a blown up welterweight and looked really flat footed.

Doesn't seem to be much difference with Khan as he's still getting caught with counters.

A good performance but Molina was a light hitting Lightweight. Khan did look more calm and focused but he still is open to the odd looping shot. I did notice and improvement in his ring movement though.

It'll be interesting to see who they put Khan in with next.

i say try and get him a rematch with garcia.

he's nothing special whatsoever and khan wins a shutout if he boxes properly.

OK card. Kind of a step down from recent Showtime cards.

Angulo-Silva was a fun bout.

Real fun fight. I think everyone comes away more impressed with Silva then Angulo.

I even liked the hwy KO. Was if boring prior? Sure but it was only a couple rounds and then BOOM. Good stuff.

And to ali, is Wilder padding his record? I think it is more along the lines of gaining experience, guy just started fighting at age of 20. Fought 6 times this year. Without extensive amateur experience, this is how it is supposed to be done.

Main event was a bit of a drag though. Noncompetitive.

I don't see Wilder gaining any expeirence facing guys who pose no threat to him, Golden Boy have moved him at an incredibly slow pace, at least with Seth Mitchell they gave him tough opposition.

Seems Khan fractured his hands last night.

But Mitchell is about 2.5 years older, and is now 30. That plays a big role in how these guys are brought about.

And Wilder is almost exactly 4 years into his pro career. Mitchell began his about 10 months earlier. Was Mitchell really that much further ahead at this point in his career? Did he have that many more tough fights 4 years in?

Now this was the first time I had ever heard of Wilder. Not sure if that was his TV debut or not. But I'll assume he hasn't been on TV too many times. And I'll also assume wilder is about ready to move into another portion of his career. Let's see if they up his competition in the upcoming fights.
