Anthony Femi Joshua Retains IBF World Heavyweight Title by instinctg(op): 1:47am On Dec 11, 2016
Nigerian born British heavy weight boxer Anthony Femi Joshua barely broke a sweat in his third round TKO stoppage of Eric Molina on Saturday. Joshua dominated from the jump, pushing Molina back to the ropes in the opening seconds of the bout and rarely let Molina into the center of the ring for the 8 minutes the two occupied the ring together.
Molina appeared shaken and extremely uncomfortable opposite Joshua from the opening bell, backing himself to the ropes and allowing the IBF heavyweight champion to tee off on him. Joshua, to his credit, looked sharp despite the lack of activity or resistance from his opponent. The champion picked apart Molina's defense with body shots early and a sharp left jab that did damage in the first two rounds.
A sharp left from Joshua to open the third round pushed Molina back into the corner and from there, it was a matter of time before he could crack him. In the end, it was a vicious right hand that did Molina in, as he was sent sprawling to the canvas in his corner, before getting up and being stopped by the referee after another flurry of punches by Joshua left him slumped over the top rope.
Joshua easily retained the IBF heavyweight title in his final test ahead of his April 29 bout with Wladimir Klitschko. Klitschko, who was ringside for the bout, stepped in to make the official announcement that he and Joshua would face off in a battle between the long-time star of the heavyweight division and the young gun looking to prove he is truly an elite in the heavyweight division.
