Molina stops Frankel on cuts

World ranked Lightweight John Molina Jr. scored a stoppage after round five after Rob Frankel was deemed unfit to continue after multiple cuts on the face at the Pechanga Resort in Temecula, CA

The bout, scheduled for ten rounds saw Molina land multiple hard right hands that opened up Frankel in the first round. Frankel continued to fight hard hard but he kept he eating hard shots and the right side of Frankel’s face quickly became a mess.

The cut got much worse in round four as the cuts started gashing from above his eyes from the result of Molina’s offensive assault. Finally after round five, the fight was topped in the corner after the cuts could not be controlled to the referee’s liking.
