Boxing: Mexican Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has once again proved his greatness with a comfortable victory against Jaime Munguia.
Jason Moloney is no stranger to sore hands, but never from signing autographs.And proof that success in the ring, it guarantees nothing more than gold around your waist.
Same as on Thursday, the 33-year-old champ entered a large Mizuno sports store where, after being surrounded by staff for selfies, was then asked to scribble his signature on their wall of champions.All of which leaves Moloney struggling for words. With one of the nicest blokes in Australian boxing – and, indeed, boxing generally – hugely respected among hardcore fight types who’ve spent almost 20 years watching him grow from that amateur who lost on debut to one of Top Rank boss Bob Arum’s champions.“He’s more well known on these streets than in Australia,” says Hyder.“And whenever we walk down the street there are fans calling out ‘Moloney, Moloney’.
Quizzed on his shock Japanese fanbase, Moloney can only think, maybe, it has more than a little to do with his previous title showdown against the Japanese megastar topping tonight’s card, Naoya Inoue. Moloney added that, when it comes to the lighter weight classes, Japan has also become something of “a boxing mecca”, which is why he chose to fight on Inoue’s undercard rather than that of Kambosos in Perth this Sunday – as many thought would happen.
