WBC #2, WBO #5, IBF #5, WBA #10 bantamweight Jason Moloney (22-2, 18 KOs) was impressive in scoring a unanimous ten round decision over Joshua Greer (22-3-2, 12 KOs) last month at the Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is now chasing another world title shot…with an eye on WBC champion Nonito Donaire.
”I was happy with my performance against Greer,” Moloney told Fightnews.com®. “He is a tough fighter and came to win. We both had everything to lose in this fight, and I thought we both showed that in our performances. I felt the fans got a great fight and at the end of the day that’s what it’s about.
“I thought I showed what level I’m at in my last fight, and that’s a level that’s good enough to become world champion.
“I’m highly ranked in the world now with the WBC and IBO, so I’m going to leave it to my manager Tony Tolj and Top Rank to make the next move for me, but I’m waiting to make it third time lucky in my world title shot.
“I’m not going to turn down any world title fight that comes my way, but I know how things currently are. I may have to wait my turn. I’m good with that, I just want to be in entertaining fights and keep showing people that I have all the ability to be a world champion.
“Obviously a fight with the current WBC champion Nonito Donaire would be the dream. He’s a legend at the end of the day. He looks to be on a collision course with Casimero, but if that doesn’t happen I’d fight Donaire in a heartbeat. It would be an honor to share the ring with one of the best ever.”
I remember Donaire starching Vic Darchinyan and making him chicken dance way back in 2007 for the title. Man he’s been around a long time, excellent fighter.
Good fight for Maloney – could be a lucrative fight in Oz as there are a lot of Pinoy’s living in Australia.
Sadly for a fight between Maloney and Donaire to sell in Australia, one will have to talk complete sh1t, disrespect – be a utube’esq punk. Otherwise it gets staged at Cronulla Leagues club etc
Elbow, well donaire doesn’t like insults so I guess that fight won’t happen.
Neither does Maloney. Both are humble and respectful and answer the questions in the ring. Unfortunately in this day – only the boxing fans appreciate this approach.
Not many fighters mention fighting John Riel Casimero and neither does Moloney. Donaire still willing to get in with the very best.
Donaire in 2! And I’m a Aussie.
For some reason JRC is never called out by these guys. Btw I thought Rigo beat jRC.
I remember Rigo boxing circles around Donaire. I like Nonito but hes a streaky fighter. Hot and cold. Hell beT Moloney though JRC will be waiting and no one wants to fight that crazy sob.
Jason Moloney is money hungry
