Molina victorious out in Mexico on FIGHTNIGHT LIVE
Former Junior Middleweight World champion Carlos Molina was in action to close out the “Fightnight Live” card that aired on Facebook through Facebook pay-per-view, defeating Michi Munoz in one way traffic for six rounds.
The contest was held out in Patzcuaro, Michoacán de Ocampo, Mexico, and was a card sponsored by the headliner through “King Carlos Promotions.”
The card was a fun one and had four fights that were streamed in the alpha phase of Facebook pay-per-view. This event was a solid card, and at $5 to watch, it will be the options most club level shows can use during this time to recoup some money due to the lack of fans to create revenue.
All precautions were used during this the card as there were no fans in attendance for the event. Also, there was a disinfecting intermission before the final bout to place. This card was also the first one to air out of Mexico since the pandemic shut down live sports and boxing across the world.
This is the NEW NORMAL and We are LIVE!

The contest itself saw Molina in action, and while the fight veteran Munoz was game early on, he was subjected to eating overhand rights in the early rounds. Munoz was showing signs of fatigue from the punishment given from Molina visibly in the fifth round by using the legendary tactic of spitting the mouth guard out to gain a few seconds to catch your breath.
Molina was able to batter around Munoz before his corner had seen enough and ended this after the sixth round. The win for Molina continues a three-fight win streak to move his record to 32-11-2 with 11 KOs.
The co-featured bout Junior Middleweight fighter, Alejandro’ Pajaro’ Davila (20-1-2, 8 KOs), of Mexico City win in nine rounds, defeating Nestor Fernando Garcia, (23-21-1, 17 KOs) with a devastating right shot that had Garcia out on his feet, forcing the ref to stop the fight.

Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth is not only a quote by Mike Tyson, it's also a pretty good reminder to keep your guard up.
