Amateur career

Carlos started his amateur career at age eighteen and ended up with a record of 6-1, he would turn professional after only 2 years.

Professional career

In December, 2005, Molina fought the current undefeated WBC Middleweight Champion Mexican, Julio César Chávez, Jr. to a controversial draw,[3] which many observers felt Molina deserved. In February 2006, he lost to Chavez in a rematch by a six round majority decision. This bout was held at the The Aladdin in Las Vegas, Nevada.[4]

After suffering another majority decision loss to Mike Alvarado, Molina scored 9 consecutive wins, including a unanimous decision victory over Danny Perez for the WBO NABO light middleweight title. However, he would remain inactive for the following year and a half after a dispute with his promoter Don King.

On March 25, 2011, Molina fought undefeated Olympic gold medalist Erislandy Lara to a disputed majority draw, many at ringside thought Molina deserved the decision. The final scores were 97-93 for Molina and 95-95 on the two other scorecards.[5] Molina then scored a tko victory over Allen Conyers.

In his next fight, Molina upset former world champion Kermit Cintron, on Showtime.[6]
