Comments Thread For: Figueroa To Broner: Don't Use Mental Health As Excuse Now; You've Been Undisciplined, Not Taking Camp Seriously

[jonnyc420]

Broner is a total joke, he's chasing exhibition money. He knows he's been exposed, that he was clearly all hype, fighting smaller men. When he ran into guys his size he was beaten up and knows he can't deal with pressure fighters. Next month he'll announce an exhibition, he can play the same dumb fool but not have to worry about getting beat up and embarrassed as badly.

He was informed the courts was going to garnish his complete pay for back payment debt to the courts with all his legal issues, so why fight if I’m not getting paid!

I have to give AB the benefit of the doubt here. Why would he cancel this fight if he is one hundred percent healthy?The man is broke man and needs the money.

I believe boxing should have a concussion protocol similar to that of the NFL. These boxers put their lives on the line each and every time they decide to fight.

I am not a doctor but repeated blows to the head could cause concussions which could lead to neurological symptoms such as depression.

It happened to Ryan Garcia and a host of many other fighters.

While I am sensitive to people's suffering, I also see this "mental health" excuse as something that will be exploited regularly by fighters who want out of a fight contract and have no other recourse. Claiming an unverifiable medical condition to absolve yourself of any legal consequences is just too easy. Sort of like how people claim back pain to get out of work. Who can challenge them? Ryan Garcia started something here and I think we're going to see this depression excuse more and more. My advice to Broner, kick the pot habit. It's bad for your mental health and it causes the munchies.

I know Omar Figueroa Jr. isn't talking about someone else's mental health when he himself also struggled with it. So I guess he's the only one allowed to use that excuse. As many legal problems AB has had there's no doubt it's messing with him mentally. Also Omar Figueroa Jr has had his run ins with the law too. So Omar you might want to tread lightly on this one.

Not to mention the first time Adrien Broner and Omar Figueroa Jr was scheduled to fight (when Omar was undefeated), but guess what?? Omar Figueroa Jr got arrested for DUI and at the time of the arrest Omar weighed 170 pounds!!! Which was 30 pounds heavier than their contracted weight. What was your excuse then Omar??? I guess he doesn't remember that

A-B = Ain't Boxing

Broner hasn't been the same since they dogged him at the bowling alley. Mr split, gutter on the ten, 160 dreaming about 200.
