"Lightweight sensation Luis Molina won a unanimous 10 round decision over the aging Joe Brown here last night in Brown's first start since he lost the 135 pound crown to Carlos Ortiz four months ago. Molina, 23, bested the 36 year old Brown with a series of long right hands and an aggressive approach. Molina carried the fight to Brown the entire distance, catching the ex-champ with enough rights to win the comfortable decision." -Associated Press

- "Ortiz is a whole lot smarter. I'd have to pick him over Molina because of that. This fellow is right in front of you all the time and you know what he's going to do." -Joe Brown, on a proposed Carlos Ortiz - Luis Molina fight.
