I feel bad for Oliver .. was looking forward to seeing him fight for a strap. Nothing like a face first knockout though.

Yeah, he has some rebuilding to do.

I thought it was a decent night of Boxing. Alot of these "suppose to win" boxers are losing to guys they shoulda beat lately. They might as well just fight a dangerous opponent lol.

That was a CRAZY knockout. Always sort of fun to see guys that think champs are ducking them get totally humbled.

When you win an eliminator and don't get the fight you'd be pretty upset too.

Of course Oliver is a victim of circumstance, but IMO this fight does shed some light on why the title fight probably wasn't the best move for the IBF and Molitor.

Hindsight is a motherfucker and Molitor isn't known for packing a punch anyway. Oliver > 3K Battery .. don't put him in an eliminator fight if you're not planning on giving him his shot.

I understand guys getting put on hold for unification bouts or even big money fights but I don't think there was a huge demand for Molitor Vs. 3K Battery.

There isn't really huge demand for Molitor vs anyone.

Canada, and all.

That's exactly my point. Castillo & 3K were less worthy of challenging for the title.

Oliver is a victim of circumstance and that it that he posed to be an unexciting fight and could've possibly caused some problems. To think that the IBF saw something in him that was suddendly exposed in his fight tonight is a joke.

The IBF saw a big number next to a zero.
