WBO #2, WBA #3, WBC #4, IBF #4 bantamweight Jason Moloney (21-1, 18 KOs) took out the frustration of seeing the shock upset of his brother by stopping Leonardo Baez (18-3, 9 KOs) on Thursday night inside “The Bubble” at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Moloney employed a solid inside tactic that broke down the challenge of Baez for round after round until he crumbled after the seventh.
“That was the greatest moment of my career,” said a jubilant Jason afterward. “It was tough watching my brother the other night, but I knew I had a job to do. Thank you to my team. I sacrificed so much for six weeks, leaving my fiancée and my baby. I’m just over the moon. My brother told me he loved me and that he was proud of me. He’ll be back better than ever. Trust me.”
