Bro, the weight situation was indeed WRONG. But come on man, you're reaching with the Broner hate. And him and Escobedo were roughly the same size tonight with Broner weighing 147 and Excobedo weighing 142. So, it's not like Broner had some "advantage". Ortiz outweighed Mayweather by 14 pounds I believe on fight night, and we saw that made no difference whatsoever.
I think you need to give Broner more credit for his performances. If people don't like his personality, that's cool. But, you can't downgrade superb knockout performances against credible opposition. Escobedo is a solid fighter with a good chin that gave even Guerrero who is an excellent fighter, problems. And had a tough fight with Katsidis as well. Escobedo also had never been stopped. This was a good performance from Broner, period.
I'm not a fan of Broner so to speak, I just am excited we have a new, young, talented & skilled prospect introduced to this wonderful sport. And I think he's hilarious. I can understand why some people may not like his personality, but it doesn't bother me. I enjoy watching the kid fight. Maybe you'll learn to at least respect him.

I'm just saying the dude is a prick man. I don't care about what he has to offer boxing....you are not getting the jist of what I'm saying. These dudes have these egos and they let that stuff get in the way of what they could have been...this guy is no different. Sure, he did well tonight but look at what he had to go through to look good. The fight almost didn't even happen because of his ego, nothing more....then this thing with his girl.
Let's just pretend that she did play along with it....is that the kind of thing you would do to the girl you were gonna marry? Would/could you even respect a woman that would agree to that?
This guy (who a lot of people on here seem to love) is gonna fail. He is going to overlook someone and eat it hard just because of his ego. Look how many people have lost recently that were once thought to be the next best thing...Broner is no different.
