LAS VEGAS (April 25, 2011) On Friday, April 29, 2011, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas will present Molina vs. Conyers for the second occurrence of the series, "Fight Night at The Cosmopolitan,"to be televised live on ESPN2's "Friday Night Fights."

 

Leon Margules, promoter of the ESPN2 "Friday Night Fights" broadcast from the luxurious outdoor deck of The Boulevard Pool at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, says he is excited to bring fans a can't-miss main event featuring Chicago's "King" Carlos Molina and fellow spoiler Allen "The Dream Shatterer" Conyers.

 

Returning to the scene of his career-defining draw with Erislandy Lara in March, Molina (17-4-2, 5 KOs) will face Conyers (12-4, 9 KOs) in a 10-round junior middleweight bout that is sure to bring the action to the heart of the Las Vegas strip.

Kind of bizzare in that this appears to be available on ESPN 3, which is a online service in the States (not available to all Cable Systems, but I beleive available on the TV via many Playstation and XBox systems...I wish I knew the details better on that). As far as I can tell, it's NOT going to be availabe, at least not live, on regular ESPN 2 on Friday Night. I will try to keep you posted if I hear more.

Aptly named "The Dream Shatterer", 34-year-old Bronx, New York, native Allen Conyers (12-4, 9 KOs) has made a career of spoiling other people's plans. Time after time, junior middleweight Conyers is brought into an opponent's backyard, expected to lose and time after time, he shatters the favored fighter's dreams by scoring the upset.

 

Conyers will get the chance to do it again when he meets another fighter known as a spoiler, Chicago-based veteran "King" Carlos Molina at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on April 29 and live on ESPN2's Friday Night Fights.

 

Tall and long-armed with good punching power, Conyers is trained by Luis Olmo and his assistant, Carlton Mitchell, at the World Class Boxing Gym in the Bronx.

 

Conyers found his way to boxing at age 17 through his cousin, the late legendary rapper Christopher Rios (aka Big Pun), who was already boxing and brought him along.

 

Taking to the sport immediately, Conyers had 11 amateur fights before realizing he was more suited to the pros. "I had a pro style. I punch hard and I was always hurting people. Amateur boxing isn't about that, it's about scoring points, so I figured I should just turn pro."
