Video: Miller's Interview With Carlos Molina

By Craig Miller-

(CBS) Carlos Molina is the former WBO NABO Light Middleweight Champion.

He is a Mexican born fighter who resides in Chicago Illinois.  His next fight is February 1 at the UIC Pavillion, where he squares off with Cory Spinks, the son of former World Heavyweight Champion Leon Spinks.

In Molina's previous fight against James Kirkland, he was disqualified when one of his trainers jumped into the ring while the referee was in the middle of a 10 count.  Molina was winning the fight up to this point, and the general consensus is that the referee made a bad decision not only robbing Molina of a potential upset, but also robbing boxing fans of a probable stellar finish to the fight.
