Expect the Blood to Flow When Josesito Lopez Meets John Molina on Saturday

Expect-the-Blood-to-Flow-When-Josesito-Lopez-Meets-John-Molina-on-Saturday

On Saturday, two Southern California prizefighters with similar journeys finally intersect when Riverside’s Josesito “Riverside Rocky” Lopez (36-8, 19 KOs) clashes with John “The Gladiator” Molina Jr. (30-8, 24 KOs) in a 10-round welterweight clash at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The bout will be televised on FOX pay-per-view. Expect the blood to flow.

“Me and Josesito are both guys who took tough roads to get here and the fans love us because of what we always put into the ring. We leave everything in there and that’s why the fans know this fight is going to be one to remember,” said Molina, 36.

For years both have been considered the most amiable and likeable pugilists in the boxing world until they step inside the ropes. Both are known for their rugged styles.

“I don’t underestimate John Molina Jr. I’ve seen him a lot throughout the years, just like I’m sure he’s seen me,” said Lopez, 35, whose hometown Riverside is within 20 miles from Molina’s hometown Covina. “We know each other quite well, so the fans are in for a good one. We’ve both proven we have the heart and the will, now we have to prove it against each other.”

Decades ago Lopez was a rail-thin determined athlete known for never giving up. His cross country running background seemed to help his boxing and he never cared who he fought just as long as he could fight.

Molina was a completely different story. He was a wrestler in high school and it was after graduating from high school that he tried boxing. He still harbored a wrestling stance and a hard nose attitude but he could always punch.

Josesito and Valero

The first time Lopez fought in a prize ring he was matched tough against Allen Litzau, the older brother of sterling prospect Jason Litzau. The Top Rank fight card took place in Las Vegas and in the first round Lopez opened up with both guns and took Litzau out of there. Despite the win, Top Rank showed no interest in Lopez.

By 2009 it was pretty apparent to anyone in Southern California that Lopez was a gritty fighter with a slightly awkward style. But plain and simple he was a pure fighter. Around this time Lopez was one of multiple boxers asked to travel to an Orange County boxing gym to provide sparring for a powerful and speedy Venezuelan fighter named Edwin Valero.

About 10 boxers showed up early at a Costa Mesa boxing gym as Valero and his trainer at the time Robert Alcazar lined up the sparring partners. In a remarkable display of power Valero knocked out six successive opponents in the sparring session. One by one they entered the boxing ring and one by one they were carried out. In my more than 30 years of covering boxing I had never seen anything like it.

Finally, they decided to put Riverside’s Lopez in the ring with Valero. Though the left-handed assassin attacked Lopez like he had attacked the others, the thin Riverside boxer lasted the entire round. Valero didn’t show any emotion or disappointment. Lopez proceeded to spar with Valero another eight or nine rounds. He was never knocked down by Valero whose entire career was 27 wins and 27 knockouts. He was arrested a year later for murdering his wife and subsequently found dead in his jail cell in April 2010.

Making of Riverside Rocky

In 2011, Lopez met Mike Dallas Jr. in a battle for the vacant NABF lightweight title. He walked away with a knockout win in the seventh to earn a televised clash with an undefeated Las Vegas-based fighter.

Jessie Vargas was the local fighter when he clashed with Lopez in a welterweight match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It was on the undercard of a Floyd Mayweather fight versus Victor Ortiz for the welterweight world title on September 17, 2011. Once again Lopez was the victim of hometown scoring, though it was an extremely close fight. He lost by split decision to Vargas.

It was the third time a Las Vegas fighter would beat Lopez by decision in Las Vegas.

A match between Lopez and Victor Ortiz was proposed when original foe Andre Berto tested positive for PEDs. Ortiz had just lost the world title to Mayweather and was looking to regain footing with a rematch with Berto. When the fight fell apart, a quick search took place and someone suggested Lopez. He immediately accepted the fight.

Publicist extraordinaire Bill Caplan suggested that the two Southern California-based fighters host mock crosstown bets with Riverside’s mayor betting a sack of oranges against Oxnard’s mayor proposing a box of strawberries if his fighter Ortiz lost. It was also during this media blitz that Caplan christened Lopez with the nickname “Riverside Rocky.” Boy did he live up to it when he broke Ortiz’s jaw and won by technical knockout in the ninth round at Staples Center.

Lopez continued to prove he could fight the best and never said no to any challenge including Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Andre Berto, Marcos Maidana and Keith Thurman. He’s been tabbed one of the most respected warriors in the sport by many fellow fighters.

John John

Unlike most in the sport, Molina was in his 20’s when he began boxing as an amateur and was 23 years old when he turned pro. But he received a crash course under the guidance of boxing guru Ben Lira who liked Molina’s natural power.

“He’s never out of a fight because he can crack and with one punch change the outcome of any fight,” said Lira.

It proved prophetic in numerous fights in Molina’s career.

Because of an earlier Puerto Rican boxer named John Molina, who went by the name John John Molina, boxing writers were quick to add the nickname John John to this John Molina. But he preferred to be called simply John. Lately, the nickname “the Gladiator” has been used and with reason.

Molina was fast-tracked because of his age and lost his first world title bid by knockout to Antonio DeMarco in the first round. He was caught cold. Many felt his career might be over when he was matched with speedy Mickey Bey in 2013. And through nine rounds Bey was winning every round. Then came the 10th and final round and instead of being careful Bey was caught with a Molina power shot and was stopped. It proved what his old trainer had always maintained: it’s never over until it’s over when Molina is in the boxing ring.

That was followed a year later with a war with Argentina’s wrecking machine Lucas Matthysse. Each fighter was decked twice in a fight that had fans roaring with excitement at the StubHub Center in Carson. After the fight Molina asked “did you enjoy the fight?”

That’s Molina, always giving fans an exciting performance.

He lost to WBO super lightweight titlist Terence Crawford in 2016 after defeating Russian slugger Ruslan Provodnikov. Then he was matched with another Russian, Ivan Redkach in 2017, and was seemingly knocked down and out in the second round. Redkach looked to end the fight in the third round but was instead floored by Molina. In the fourth round Molina smelled a knockout and poured on the blows to end the fight by knockout.

With Molina the fight is never over until the final bell.

In his last confrontation he collided with former lightweight world champion Omar Figueroa in Los Angeles. Neither fighter gave an inch and after 10 rounds of constant punching the judges ruled Figueroa the winner. Molina shrugged off the decision. He gave his best and like all sluggers he was there for the knockout.

Now he faces another gladiator like himself. It’s the type of fight that should have happened years ago. Both are very familiar with each other’s career and fighting style.

“I’ve been doing this a long time and I’ve seen just about everything in the sport. There’s nothing new that Josesito can do to surprise me,” said Molina at the L.A. press conference. “At the end of the day, this is a fight. We’re well prepared, and I know he is as well.”

Lopez agrees.

“It’s going to be an exciting fight. I’ve prepared for battle and I’m going to win. I’m ready to go through anything to get this victory,” said Lopez in L.A. “I don’t feel pressure to make this an action fight, because this is one of those matchups where it’s just going to happen naturally. This is an evenly-matched fight and everyone is going to get their money’s worth.”

After 16 years they finally meet in the prize ring.

Avila Perspective, Chap. 322: Super Welter Week in SoCal

Published

on

Avila-Perspective-Chap-322-Super-Welter-Week-in-SoCal

Two below-the-radar super welterweight stars show off their skills this weekend from different parts of Southern California.

One in particular, Charles Conwell, co-headlines a show in Oceanside against a hard-hitting Mexican while another super welter star Sadriddin Akhmedov faces another Mexican hitter in Commerce.

Take your pick.

The super welterweight division is loaded with talent at the moment. If Terence Crawford remained in the division he would be at the top of the class, but he is moving up several weight divisions.

Conwell (21-0, 16 KOs) faces Jorge Garcia Perez (32-4, 26 KOs) a tall knockout puncher from Los Mochis at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, Calif. on Saturday April 19. DAZN will stream the Golden Boy Promotions card that also features undisputed flyweight champion Gabriela Fundora. We’ll get to her later.

Conwell might be the best super welterweight out there aside from the big dogs like Vergil Ortiz, Serhii Bohachuk and Sebastian Fundora.

If you are not familiar with Conwell he comes from Cleveland, Ohio and is one of those fighters that other fighters know about. He is good.

He has the James “Lights Out” Toney kind of in-your-face-style where he anchors down and slowly deciphers the opponent’s tools and then takes them away piece by piece. Usually it’s systematic destruction. The kind you see when a skyscraper goes down floor by floor until it’s smoking rubble.

During the Covid days Conwell fought two highly touted undefeated super welters in Wendy Toussaint and Madiyar Ashkeyev. He stopped them both and suddenly was the boogie man of the super welterweight division.

Conwell will be facing Mexico’s taller Garcia who likes to trade blows as most Mexican fighters prefer, especially those from Sinaloa. These guys will be firing H bombs early.

Fundora

Co-headlining the Golden Boy card is Gabriela Fundora (15-0, 7 KOs) the undisputed flyweight champion of the world. She has all the belts and Mexico’s Marilyn Badillo (19-0-1, 3 KOs) wants them.

Gabriela Fundora is the sister of Sebastian Fundora who holds the men’s WBC and WBO super welterweight world titles. Both are tall southpaws with power in each hand to protect the belts they accumulated.

Six months ago, Fundora met Argentina’s Gabriela Alaniz in Las Vegas to determine the undisputed flyweight champion. The much shorter Alaniz tried valiantly to scrap with Fundora and ran into a couple of rocket left hands.

Mexico’s Badillo is an undefeated flyweight from Mexico City who has battled against fellow Mexicans for years. She has fought one world champion in Asley Gonzalez the current super flyweight world titlist. They met years ago with Badillo coming out on top.

Does Badillo have the skill to deal with the taller and hard-hitting Fundora?

When a fighter has a six-inch height advantage like Fundora, it is almost impossible to out-maneuver especially in two-minute rounds. Ask Alaniz who was nearly decapitated when she tried.

This will be Badillo’s first pro fight outside of Mexico.

Commerce Casino

Kazakhstan’s Sadriddin Akhmedov (15-0, 13 KOs) is another dangerous punching super welterweight headlining a 360 Promotions card against Mexico’s Elias Espadas (23-6, 16 KOs) on Saturday at the Commerce Casino.

UFC Fight Pass will stream the 360 Promotions card of about eight bouts.

Akhmedov is another Kazakh puncher similar to the great Gennady “GGG” Golovkin who terrorized the middleweight division for a decade. He doesn’t have the same polish or dexterity but doesn’t lack pure punching power.

It’s another test for the super welterweight who is looking to move up the ladder in the very crowded 154-pound weight division. 360 Promotions already has a top contender in Ukraine’s Serhii Bohachuk who nearly defeated Vergil Ortiz a year ago.

Could Bohachuk and Akhmedov fight each other if nothing else materializes?

That’s a question for another day.

Fights to Watch

Sat. DAZN 5 p.m. Charles Conwell (21-0, 16 KOs) vs. Jorge Garcia Perez (32-4, 26 KOs); Gabriela Fundora (15-0) vs Marilyn Badillo (19-0-1).

Sat. UFC Fight Pass 6 p.m. Sadriddin Akhmedov (15-0) vs Elias Espadas (23-6).

TSS Salutes Thomas Hauser and his Bernie Award Cohorts

Published

on

TSS-Salutes-Thomas-Hauser-and-his-Bernie-Award-Cohorts

The Boxing Writers Association of America has announced the winners of its annual Bernie Awards competition. The awards, named in honor of former five-time BWAA president and frequent TSS contributor Bernard Fernandez, recognize outstanding writing in six categories as represented by stories published the previous year.

Over the years, this venerable website has produced a host of Bernie Award winners. In 2024, Thomas Hauser kept the tradition alive. A story by Hauser that appeared in these pages finished first in the category “Boxing News Story.” Titled “Ryan Garcia and the New York State Athletic Commission,” the story was published on June 23. You can read it HERE.

Hauser also finished first in the category of “Investigative Reporting” for “The Death of Ardi Ndembo,” a story that ran in the (London) Guardian.  (Note: Hauser has owned this category. This is his 11th first place finish for “Investigative Reporting”.)

Thomas Hauser, who entered the International Boxing Hall of Fame with the class of 2019, was honored at last year’s BWAA awards dinner with the A.J. Leibling Award for Outstanding Boxing Writing. The list of previous winners includes such noted authors as W.C. Heinz, Budd Schulberg, Pete Hamill, and George Plimpton, to name just a few.

The Leibling Award is now issued intermittently. The most recent honorees prior to Hauser were Joyce Carol Oates (2015) and Randy Roberts (2019).

Roberts, a Distinguished Professor of History at Purdue University, was tabbed to write the Hauser/Leibling Award story for the glossy magazine for BWAA members published in conjunction with the organization’s annual banquet. Regarding Hauser’s most well-known book, his Muhammad Ali biography, Roberts wrote, “It is nearly impossible to overestimate the importance of the book to our understanding of Ali and his times.” An earlier book by Hauser, “The Black Lights: Inside the World of Professional Boxing,” garnered this accolade: “Anyone who wants to understand boxing today should begin by reading ‘The Black Lights’.”

A panel of six judges determined the Bernie Award winners for stories published in 2024. The stories they evaluated were stripped of their bylines and other identifying marks including the publication or website for which the story was written.

Other winners:

Boxing Event Coverage: Tris Dixon

Boxing Column: Kieran Mulvaney

Boxing Feature (Over 1,500 Words): Lance Pugmire

Boxing Feature (Under 1,500 Words): Chris Mannix

The Dixon, Mulvaney, and Pugmire stories appeared in Boxing Scene; the Mannix story in Sports Illustrated.

The Bernie Award recipients will be honored at the forthcoming BWAA dinner on April 30 at the Edison Ballroom in the heart of Times Square. (For more information, visit the BWAA website). Two days after the dinner, an historic boxing tripleheader will be held in Times Square, the logistics of which should be quite interesting. Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, and Teofimo Lopez share top billing.

Mekhrubon Sanginov, whose Heroism Nearly Proved Fatal, Returns on Saturday

Published

on

Mekhrubon-Sanginov-whose-Heroism-Nearly-Proved-Fatal-Returns-on-Saturday

To say that Mekhrubon Sanginov is excited to resume his boxing career would be a great understatement. Sanginov, ranked #9 by the WBA at 154 pounds before his hiatus, last fought on July 8, 2022.

He was in great form before his extended leave, having scored four straight fast knockouts, advancing his record to 13-0-1. Had he remained in Las Vegas, where he had settled after his fifth pro fight, his career may have continued on an upward trajectory, but a trip to his hometown of Dushanbe, Tajikistan, turned everything haywire. A run-in with a knife-wielding bully nearly cost him his life, stalling his career for nearly three full years.

Sanginov was exiting a restaurant in Dushanbe when he saw a man, plainly intoxicated, harassing another man, an innocent bystander. Mekhrubon intervened and was stabbed several times with a long knife. One of the puncture wounds came perilously close to puncturing his heart.

“After he stabbed me, I ran after him and hit him and caught him to hold for the police,” recollects Sanginov. “There was a lot of confusion when the police arrived. At first, the police were not certain what had happened.

“By the time I got to the hospital, I had lost two liters of blood, or so I was told. After I was patched up, one of the surgeons said to me, ‘Give thanks to God because he gave you a second life.’ It is like I was born a second time.”

“I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It could have happened in any city,” he adds. (A story about the incident on another boxing site elicited this comment from a reader: “Good man right there. World would be a better place if more folk were willing to step up when it counts.”)

Sanginov first laced on a pair of gloves at age 10 and was purportedly 105-14 as an amateur. Growing up, the boxer he most admired was Roberto Duran. “Muhammad Ali will always be the greatest and [Marvin] Hagler was great too, but Duran was always my favorite,” he says.

During his absence from the ring, Sanginov married a girl from Tajikistan and became a father. His son Makhmud was born in Las Vegas and has dual citizenship. “Ideally,” he says, “I would like to have three more children. Two more boys and the last one a daughter.”

He also put on a great deal of weight. When he returned to the gym, his trainer Bones Adams was looking at a cruiserweight. But gradually the weight came off – “I had to give up one of my hobbies; I love to eat,” he says – and he will be resuming his career at 154. “Although I am the same weight as before, I feel stronger now. Before I was more of a boy, now I am a full-grown man,” says Sanginov who turned 29 in February.

He has a lot of rust to shed. Because of all those early knockouts, he has answered the bell for only eight rounds in the last four years. Concordantly, his comeback fight on Saturday could be described as a soft re-awakening. Sanginov’s opponent Mahonri Montes, an 18-year pro from Mexico, has a decent record (36-10-2, 25 KOs) but has been relatively inactive and is only 1-3-1 in his last five. Their match at Thunder Studios in Long Beach, California, is slated for eight rounds.

On May 10, Ardreal Holmes (17-0) faces Erickson Lubin (26-2) on a ProBox card in Kissimmee, Florida. It’s an IBF super welterweight title eliminator, meaning that the winner (in theory) will proceed directly to a world title fight.

Sanginov will be watching closely. He and Holmes were scheduled to meet in March of 2022 in the main event of a ShoBox card on Showtime. That match fell out when Sanginov suffered an ankle injury in sparring.

If not for a twist of fate, that may have been Mekhrubon Sanginov in that IBF eliminator, rather than Ardreal Holmes. We will never know, but one thing we do know is that Mekhrubon’s world title aspirations were too strong to be ruined by a knife-wielding bully.
