Used to absolutely love The Cherry Bomb! Congrats to Edner Cherry and the rest of the inductees.
– John Molina always reminded me of Arturo Gatti.
– He was never in a dull fight…..
I think this is John John Molina, former world champion from Puerto Rico. He was also super exciting, fought (and beat) some really good fighters and may be the only fighter I have ever seen wearing a hairpiece in the ring, during a fight.
– I stand corrected, Lucie, and thank you.
– The John Molina I was thinking about is from California and trained under Joe Goosen.
– Take care.
– Gary G.
I know exactly the one you’re talking about, Gary and you are completely correct about him. He was definitely a Gatti type of fighter.
I better have a check because I may be in one of the BHoFs without realizing it. Everyone else is in!!!!
CONGRATS David Díaz!! Great amateur career and former World Champion and more importantly class act!!
