Steve Molitor Taking a Break from Boxing
The Sarnia, Onario native's 2-year reign as IBF super-bantamweight champion ended with a lopsided loss to Celestino Caballero last weekend at Casino Rama in Rama, Ontario. Now he needs time off to regroup.
Promoter Allan Tremblay said Thursday that Molitor will fight again, but not until next summer. "He's fine physically," said Tremblay. "He didn't get hit as much as people perceived. "It's the psychological side. You're shocked, surprised, devastated."
Molitor (28-1) won the title from Michael Hunter in England on Nov. 10, 2006. He defended it 5 times before trying to add Caballero's WBA belt to his collection. The lanky Panamanian dominated the bout, stopping the southpaw Molitor with an uppercut 52 seconds into the 4th.
The Mississauga, Ont., resident was the attraction in 6 cards held over the past 2 years at Casino Rama in a bid to revive pro boxing in Ontario.
Tremblay said boxing shows will continue, with a chance that fighters may be brought in from outside Canada for feature fights while prospects like welterweight Phil Boudreault (5-0) of Sudbury, Ont., and Polish heavyweight Grzegorz (Greg) Kielsa (8-0) are nursed along.
