MGM Grand, Las Vegas - The debut edition of 'Premier Boxing Champions' opened up the NBC televised card with former three division world champion Adrien Broner (30-1, 22KOs) dominating his way to a twelve round unanimous decision win over John Molina (27-6, 22KOs). The scores were 120-108, 120-108, 118-110.

Broner picks up his third consecutive win since suffering his first career defeat to Marcos Maidana in December 2013, and Molina drops his third straight.

The fight started with Molina on the back foot, allowing Broner to come forward and land accurate shots. Some of the punches were being picked off as Molina was trying to time an incoming shot with a big counter. Molina allowed Broner to lead off for far too long and he was getting tagged too often for his own good. Every now and then he would jump in with a big shot and miss wildly.

At the end of the third, Molina managed to land his best series of punches in the fight to get Broner's attention. Broner controlled the action in the next few rounds with Molina finding drips of success during several exchanges. By the tenth round it was lopsided action in Broner's favor. He was landing at near will and Molina was unable to connect with anything of note.

Unbeaten featherweight Jorge Lara (27-0-1, 19KOs), who is trained by Ruben Guerrero, destroyed John Macias (25-15, 13KOs) with a first round battering from corner to corner until Tony Weeks stepped in at 2:04.

Featherweight prospect Mario Barrios (8-0, 4KOs) beat down overmatched Justin Lopez (5-3, 5KOs) for a third round TKO. Lopez went down in the second and then took a pounding against the ropes in the third until referee Robert Byrd jumped in to wave things off.

Lightweight contender Robert Easter (13-0, 10KOs) blew away Alejandro Rodriguez (22-16-1, 13KOs) in two easy rounds. Easter dominated the first round, and then unleashed his power shots by scoring three hard knockdowns in the second round before referee Jay Nady waved off the contest

Welterweight prospect Ladarius Miller (6-0, 1KO), who is trained by Floyd Mayweather Sr., opened up the show with a four round unanimous decision victory over Ryan Picou (2-7). All three of the official judges had it scored 40-36. Miller is promoted by Mayweather Promotions.
