PBC on FS1 - James vs Molina: Live streaming results and round by round coverage

Tonight at 11:00 pm EST on FS1, Jamal James faces Javier Molina in the main event of the latest PBC card.

Premier Boxing Champions is back tonight on FS1 from Club Nokia in Los Angeles, with welterweight prospects Jamal James and Javier Molina going head-to-head in the 10-round main event.

James (18-0, 9 KO), is a 6'2" righty from Minneapolis, who made his PBC TV debut on September 18 with a win over Juan Carlos Abreu on Bounce. The 27-year-old "Shango" is obviously huge for a welterweight, tall and rangy, and showed some nice skills in the win over Abreu.

Molina (17-1, 8 KO) was at one point a hot amateur prospect, who won the 2007 U.S. National Championships when he was just 17 years old. He also comes from a boxing family, the younger brother of Carlos and the twin brother of Oscar. None of the three have really broken through as professionals, though, and Javier, now 26, is looking to score a career-best win with this fight. He suffered a loss to Artemio Reyes in 2011, but has won eight straight since then.

In the co-feature, super middleweight prospect David Benavidez (11-0, 10 KO) will face Kevin Cobbs (10-1, 4 KO) in an eight-round fight.

Patrick L. Stumberg will be here for the live round by round coverage.
