I liked Ortiz, and I saw one of these matches in New York City. I have never seen any iinterest in boxing whatsoever from any of the mola purchasers who have visited my site in this incarnation, but I'm throwing this one out there anyway because it is so fantastic.

Please check them out with the zoom and see what is involved in making just one. This mola is 16.75" x 13" and has three layers. It is in perfect condition.
