In front of a welcome crowd at the Skydome in Coventry, Sam Eggington took the vacant WBC Silver Middleweight title with a unanimous points win over the vastly experienced Carlos Molina on the Hennessy Sports bill on Saturday.
A stiff right hand got Molina’s attention in the opening round, in what was a strong start for Eggington (30-7, 18 KOs), and a left hand on the bell ended a good first frame for the Midlander.
The Mexican caught Eggington with some flush shots in the second, but the 27-year-old regained control in the third, shaking his opponent up with some big shots that backed the former world champion up in a superb session for him.
