Molina suffered a cut to his left eye in Round 2 as the Bolton fighter continued to rain down on him.

Khan's combos were not always clean through Rounds 3 to 6 but the sheer volume of the punches left Molina with no answer.

Molina was asked at the end of Round 9 if he wished to continue and appeared for Round 10 for more of the same from the explosive Khan.
