Carlos Amado Molina (born May 25, 1983 in Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, Mexico) is a Mexican professional boxer in the Light Middleweight division. Molina is the current IBF Light Middleweight Champion.[1]

Amateur career

Carlos started his amateur career at age eighteen, amassing a 6–1 record before turing professional after only 2 years.

Professional career

In December, 2005, Molina fought the undefeated WBC Middleweight Champion Julio César Chávez, Jr. to a controversial draw,[2] a fight which many observers felt Molina won. 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.[3]

Molina then lost another majority decision, this time to Mike Alvarado, before scoring 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 — another fight which those at ringside thought Molina deserved. The final scores were 97-93 for Molina and 95-95 on the two other scorecards.[4] Molina then scored a TKO victory over Allen Conyers.

In his next fight, Molina upset former world champion Kermit Cintron, on Showtime.[5]
