By Jake Donovan - With everything that went wrong prior to the opening bell, Adrien Broner needed to deliver big time to take some of the heat off of him following a weekend filled with unprofessional antics that nearly saw his latest HBO appearance scratched from the program. The unbeaten rising star at least provided that much once the opening bell rang, having his way with Vicente Escobedo en route to a sixth round stoppage Saturday evening at the US Bank Arena in his Cincinnati hometown. A tactical battle threatened to break out early, with both fighters hesitant to press the action. Broner finally opened up in the second round, scoring with hooks and right hands upstairs.
