In an exclusive interview with Bloody Knockout, Moloney explained: “That was the eliminator for the WBA world title. Gonzalez was 30-1 at the time. They won the purse bid, so we had to go over to Chile and take him on.
“In round two, I threw a punch and I just slipped on the canvas, he didn’t even throw a punch and the referee called it a knockdown. That’s when the alarm bells rang. I’ve got to knock him out.
“The game plan had to change, and I went for the knockout, and thankfully, I got that in round eight. So, that was a huge relief. I remember panicking in that fight. It was a really good moment in my career. It was great to go over to Chile and experience a fight over there.”
