Julito Remains Undefeated

Molina turned out to be a good boxer who showed little respect for the son of former world champion JC Chavez to the surprise of all present.

Chavez tried to respond. He looked for a fight that would best utilize his reach advantage over his rival, who didn't give him a single minute of rest. Julito chose to attack, mainly with hooks to the liver.

Molina had the initiative. However, Chavez stood in front of him waiting for the right moment to land his best punches, which on this occassion he didn't manage to land on his opponent.

A short left hurt Julito, who instead of backing up looked to respond in similar form and did so, but not without any effect on Molina.

The fight advanced, Julito threw his best punches, but he could do little to hurt a Molina who wanted to become the first to defeat him, although he remained wholeheartedly in the fight until the end, when the judged declared it a draw.
