INSIDE THE RING: San Antonioโs Franco returns to Las Vegas to defend title
It was also the first successful defense for a world title by a San Antonio boxer in history. โEl Profesorโ took that belt away from Moloney in late June and was the talk of the boxing world through the summer. โBy comparison, I think my trilogy was way tougher than my fight with Moloney,โ said Franco to KSAT 12 Sports Thursday. Franco Moloney 2 will be the co-main event under the Terence Crawford vs. Kell Brook welterweight title bout. Daniel P.
