What a clown, probably couldn't make weight. Hopefully Showtime never books him again, then again they have fallen so far they would more than likely book him next week if he wanted to fight.

There is a lot of fighters that would of pushed through and fought. To be honest Broner has not had a fighter mentality for a very long time. Its all about the money now for him.

Lipinets vs Figueroa might even turn out to be a good fight, which couldn't be said for Broner vs Figueroa.

Well at least both fighters are fighting in their actual weight class, I hope Omar Figueroa is alright considering the consecutive losses at welterweight against Yordenis Ugas and Abel Ramos.

He has more of the right to withdraw than Broner if you consider the horrible beating Abel Ramos gave him until he puked blood and becoming an alcoholic. Too bad though knowing PBC they are going to try to make him fight Jaron Ennis in case he manages to beat Lipinets in impressive fashion.

Not a bad replacement.

[STREET CLEANER]

Figueroa will take another L. Better fight than Broner.

I don't feel bad for Broner. As an entertaining fighter you love to hate he has had a career that others would covet and lived a life that only 1%s can live.

It sounds like they were half expecting this and made sure they had a backup option.

Figueroa was the opponent here - it's rare to see promoters make the effort to secure a replacement opponent in this kind of situation.

Save the pro/anti-promoter boxing politics replies.... it's just cool to see something good happen.
