It was an exciting main event at The Pechanga Casino on Saturday Night between John Molina Jr. and Martin Honorio.

I caught up with Honorio as he was exiting the ring and got a few words with him after scoring the upset win over Molina Jr. and winning the NABF lightweight title.

“This means a lot to me. This means I can be one of the best in the world,” Honorio said. “I knew he was a hard hitter and a knockout artist but we had a plan for him and we excuted well.”

Honorio was in great shape and was able to befuddle the Covina fighter with his movement and patient attack. The crowd vas very much into this fight.

The Pechanga Casino is one of my favorite venues for boxing. It’s location in Temecula, California is close to my home and its P.R. staff (led by Audra Merrell) always does a great job.

The bout was broadcast on Showtime’s Sho:Box series and promoted by Goossen Tutor.
