You Help Decide!
February 24, 2009
(FEB 24) Sherman Oaks, CA -- One of
boxing’s hottest young jr. lightweight prospects John Molina, Junior of
Covina, California has decided to change his nickname from “John John”
to two other possible suggestions that were made at the recent press
conference held for John’s next bout at the Nokia Theatre on March 27
and to be televised on ESPN.
The problem that confronts him is former World Champion John Molina from
Fajardo, Puerto Rico made the “John John” nickname famous and although
the Covina, CA Molina’s family, friends and boxing world also know him
as “John John” he believes it’s time for his own identity to surface.
“I proudly bear my father’s Mexican name, and unfortunately most people
understandably confuse me as the son of the Puerto Rican Molina. So the
change is necessary.”
The 26-year old Molina with a record of 15-0, 11 KOs, has put forth the
two options for his alias: John, Jr. or The Covina Kid. He’s willing to
consider a possible third alternative being submitted if you believe
there is a better suggestion.
John Molina, Junior wants you’re input. Which nickname do you suggest?
