JASON BOOTH reckons he knows what it is like to be whacked by Steve Molitor
even though he has never faced him.
Booth (35-5) faces the toughest test of his career when he challenges for
Molitor¹s (32-1) IBF world super-bantamweight title at Houghton-le-Spring¹s
Rainton Meadows Arena on Saturday September 11.
The Nottingham boxer got a close up of the slick Canadian, when Molitor
outpointed his younger brother, Nicky in a Commonwealth bantamweight title
fight almost eight years go.
Jason, 32, said: ³It was tough to see my brother lose to Molitor. I used to
get so wrapped up in Nicky’s fights it was like I was in there taking
punches.
³Back then Molitor was unbeaten, but unknown despite his amateur pedigree
and most people reckoned Nicky would win.
³Although Nicky did well, Molitor¹s qualities were obvious and it is no
shock to me what he has achieved since then. He is a credit to boxing.
³I have done some daft things in life, but I am no fool when it comes to
spotting top boxers and Molitor is better than anybody I have faced.²
