Moloney comes to the ring with a youngster ahead of him, holding the champ's WBA Oceania super bantamweight title belt. He should be able to hold onto it tonight, but stranger things have happened!
Undefeated Aussie Jason Moloney (11-0) is up next, taking on Marco Demecillo of the Philippines. The Victorian is a near unbackable favourite in this super bantamweight clash.

Caruso wins via unanimous decision!
Well, he would have looked like an absolute muppet if he'd not had his arm raised after running around like that, but Caruso does get the job done.
The bell goes at the end of the fourth, and Caruso immediately runs to one empty corner and climbs up on the turnbuckle in celebration, before sprinting to the opposite side and doing it again. He's very confident of a win, and I think he's right to be. Official scorecards coming shortly.
Back to topGood footwork from Caruso, who may have shaded that one. Big final round coming up.
Pretty even second round, both have been pretty close. Going to be interesting if this goes the distance...although the distance, in this case, is only four rounds.
Confirmation smallest legal ring to use in Australia. 16 feet. #MundineGreen2 #Boxing #OzBoxing

Good first round for Nwaiwu, he was patient and waited for his less experienced opponent to jump in before landing a few solid shots.
This is fantastic. The Adelaide Oval is so big that the guys aren't making their entrance from a tunnel, but rather an arbitrary spot halfway back in the seats.
Nwaiwu came out to an Eminem song, Caruso came out to AC/DC - both solid choices.
Back to topNext up is Friday Nwaiwu, who competed in the Commonwealth Games for Nigeria, taking on Antonio Caruso of Adelaide in the Super Middleweight class.
Much has been made of the mismatch between Quade Cooper and his opponent Jack McInnes, but the youngster is actually the outsider looming most likely to cause an upset.
On Ladbrokes, Cooper is $1.23 with McInnes at $3.75. The other four favourites on the undercard are paying $1.04, $1.02, $1.07 and $1.02. Yikes.
David Aloua claims the second fight of the night!
Easy win for Anthony Mundine's sparring partner, whose professional record moves to 12-2. Feilipo Mosoe drops to 3-12 after that loss, which came via a unanimous points decision.
Last round here and Aloua, who is trained by Tony Mundine and has served as a sparring partner for Anthony, is well ahead on points.
