Carlos Molina a victim of bad decisions inside and outside of the ring

Memo to the Texas Athletic Commission ? Revoke the judging license of Gale Van Hoy immediately! Can someone tell me why this guy is allowed to be within 20 feet of a boxing ring? Last night in Texas, once again Van Hoy was on his way to robbing another fighter (Carlos Molina). James Kirkland was getting his socks boxed off of him last night, and Van Hoy in typical Van Hoy fashion had the fight 86/85 for Kirkland.

Remember when Brooklyn New York’s Paulie Malignaggi was robbed in Houston, Texas Vs. Juan Diaz? I do, I remember it clearly. Some guy named Gale Van Hoy had it 118/110 for his home boy Juan Diaz. It was total rob job, and you can call him what you want but Van Hoy is either a corrupt judge, or he’s an incompetent judge, either way he needs to be removed from judging fights.

Fighter’s work too hard, and they literally put their lives on the line with each time they enter a boxing ring. They deserve better than Gale Van Hoy. What is it with the state of Texas anyway? How many more controversial fights are the fans going to have to suffer through down in the Lone Star state?

Last night Jr middleweight Carlos Molina was disqualified after his corner man prematurely entered the ring. The referee made the decision to DQ after he continued the count on Molina, which was strange in itself. When you have a state like Texas that has had so many controversial fights, at some point you have to start raising your eye brows and wonder what the hell is going on down there.

Carlos Molina deserves an immediate rematch against Kirkland anywhere on God’s earth except in Texas. Just as Malignaggi was given his rematch Vs. Diaz, Molina should get his as well.
