Christian Molina did not have much of an amateur background but he has been a quick study and has become one of the top prospects in the Lehigh Valley.
This Saturday he will look to go to 4-0 when he takes on pro debuting Stacey Anderson in a 4-round Jr. Welterweight bout at the Econo Lodge in Allentown, PA and is promoted by King’s Promotions.
In the main event, Frank De Alba will take on an opponent to be named in a 8-round Jr. Lightweight bout.
Molina, 27 years old of Allentown, PA had just five amateur bouts but has raced off to a perfect 3-0 mark with impressive wins over Dominic Goode, Jordan Morales and Josue Rivera and he now looks for a similar performance against Anderson.
“Training has gone great. Anderson is a new opponent. All I know is that he has an MMA background,” said Molina.
“I train hard I make the sacrifices to win. I look to box and I look to fight. I just do whatever it takes to fight that opponent.”
The southpaw has already built up a nice following and wants to thrill the fans on Saturday night.
“I just want to thank all the fans and especially the Spanish fans that will come out and support me this Saturday.”
