Anthony Joshua cannot be faulted on his choice of opponent in Eric Molina.
Some sections of the media have been critical against the London born knock out specialist on his choice of Molina.
However, Joshua has not put one foot wrong since turning professional.
The unbeaten olympic gold medalist has faced decent opposition since turning professional, but has been too powerful for all of them. Most pundits predicted an easy win against Dillian Whyte until Whyte turned out to give him the toughest fight of his career. They may be making a similar mistake against Molina, who has lost only 3 times out of 28 fights. And Molina has been up against some world class opposition, let’s not forget

He tool WBC champion Deontey Wilder into the deep end for 9 rounds, losing only at the last moment to a might punch. Molina recently stopped Tomaz Adamek, who is no push over himself. A glance at the opponents faced by most heavyweights at this same stage shows that Joshua is developing reasonably well. Let’s not go into details and expose the opposition faced by everyone else at this stage. The details are on record to see.
This fight is an opportunity for us to measure Joshua’s ability and see how he fares. It doesn’t matter if he blasts Molina out in 4 rounds, at least we will have the evidence that he did it. At the moment. boxing experts are just surmising. It has always been the way of fans and writing scribes to be overly critical of our rising stars and expect them to go into the lions den straight away. Let;s be patient and see what happens on Saturday. It may not be as easy as we think, but let’s remember that Joshua is good enough to make opponents look easier than they actually are. However, it won’t always work out as expected
