Carlos Amado Molina (born May 25, 1983) is a Mexican professional boxer. He is a former IBF light middleweight champion.
Molina started his amateur career at age eighteen, amassing a 6–1 record before turning professional after only two years.
In December, 2005, Molina fought the undefeated Julio César Chávez, Jr. to a controversial draw, 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 Aladdin in Las Vegas, Nevada.
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. The final scores were 97-93 for Molina and 95-95 on the two other scorecards.[1]
In his next fight, Molina scored a TKO victory over Allen Conyers.[2]
On the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather-Canelo Alvarez superfight, on September 14, 2013, Molina defeated Ishe Smith by split decision to win the IBF Junior Middleweight title.[3]
