Sam Eggington rolls on
Reporting from ringside, Andy Whittle saw the teak-tough Carlos Molina succumb on points to Sam Eggington
BOXING returned to the Skydome for the first time since 2010 on Saturday (May 22) and the fans were allowed in too – albeit limited in number to just 400. But it is another step in the right direction. Mexico’s 37-year-old former IBF super-welterweight titlist
Carlos Molina proved game enough in the 12-round bill-topper against the always-watchable Stourbridge middleweight
Sam Eggington. However, the visitor was unable to prevent Eggington registering a wide unanimous points victory.
Bettered for the most part, yet firing back whenever the opportunity arose, Molina was an immovable object, despite Sam’s best attempts. With an eye on future title tilts, Eggington had to content himself with picking his shots as he worked away, often from a distance, behind the jab.
