Don't know much about recent boxing history, but my buddy got me a ticket to the upcoming Deontay Wilder fight in Birmingham. For you guys that know boxing, is the card pretty good? Any fighters I should be looking at closely? How good is Wilder and the guy he is fighting?

I don't know boxing - is Deontay black?

Deontay is good. He's not great yet but he has potential. Hell, he's a heavy weight champion.

Don't get me started on Deontay Wilder and that piece of garbage that runs his career, Al Haymon.

I got tickets too, I was a little surprised at how fast they were going. Eric Molina is who he is fighting and is ranked 14th, this is a mandatory title defense. The guy has been knocked out a couple times in the past, but this is the heavyweight division so anything could happen (Rahman vs Lewis fight). I expecting Wilder to knock him out by the 4th. The good thing is that there are 8 undercard fights, and one is a light heavyweight fight, have not found what the other 7 are yet.

Found 2 of the 8 undercard fights

The co-feature, which is for the belt that was vacated by Rances Barthelemy, sees Jose "Sniper" Pedraza (19-0, 12 KO) of Puerto Rico look to sort of snap a recent run of bad luck or bad hype with Puerto Rican prospects against Andrey Klimov (19-1, 9 KO).

The opening bout will be Jose Pedraza's opportunity to establish himself as Puerto Rico's next champion and a rising star," said Lou DiBella, who is serving as the promoter of the show.

The undercard will include Jose Pedraza (19-0) of Puerto Rico against Russian Andrey Klimov (19-1) for the vacant IBF Junior Lightweight championship.
That should be a decent fight.
Molina was KO'd by Chris Arreola (IIRC) but he's coming in hot. It's not a bad matchup on paper. Wilder's style doesn't lend itself to great excitement, but Molina should be headhunting. He's been talking mad shite already.
