I was joined first by Showtime Boxing analyst and Hall of Famer Al Bernstein, who is ready to talk about Saturday night’s PPV battle in San Antonio, TX, between Gervonta davis and Leo Santa Cruz. That fight is for the WBA welterweight title and is a classic battle between a young star and a veteran multi-division champion.
Below, BigFightWeekend.com writer Mr. Marquis Johns takes over his one-on-one interview with 118-pound challenger in Las Vegas, Jason Moloney.
Moloney will be the underdog in Las Vegas on Saturday night against WBA / IBF 118-pound world champion Naoya “The Monster” Inoue of Japan. Still, why is Moloney so confident that he will take the best shots from the undefeated Monster and pull off the surprise? Share more with Marquis.
Inoue is the significant betting favorite with odds averaging -1000, while Moloney’s odds are currently at +600 at sportsbettingdime.com
In their conversation, Moloney told Marquis:
“Obviously, there is a lot of talk about Inoue. We are here to “spoil the show.” We are here to show what we are capable of. We believe we have what it takes to beat him and become the number one bantamweight in the world. We are very excited about this opportunity. We have worked very hard. And we are ready to prove that many people are wrong. “
Inoue, 19-0, 16 KOs, is coming off winning the final of the World Boxing Super Series bantamweight tournament last November in Japan by defeating Nonito Donaire by 12-round decision to unify the WBA and IBF World Championships.
However, Moloney, 21-1, 18 KOs, has an advantage in terms of setup and situation. This, as he emerged victorious in June with a seventh round TKO of Leonardo Baez in Top Rank’s “bubble” in Las Vegas to put him in his place for the Unified title shot. So you are familiar with the process of entering the MGM Grand Conference Center for testing, quarantine, and the final isolated days before the showdown with Inoue on Saturday night US time.
Now, we’ll see if he can take the best hits from Inoue, especially at the beginning of this one.
Marquis and I give you the full breakdown of Inoue-Moloney, the Showtime Davis-Santa Cruz PPV in Texas, and the Usyk-Chisora heavyweight showdown in London earlier in the day on our show.
