Broner probably got fat and tired of waiting and couldn't make the weight.

Most likely. Haymon couldn't rig the scale like he did with brokers fight against porter

What's interesting is these PBC guys can cancel at the last minute. Jermall canceled only two weeks of his Sulecki fight. Who is next?

Could be Broner's way of saying,
"F***k you all. I was training for 9 months waiting for no effing date, then you give me a press con on a computer. F***k that s***."

12 round, title eliminator, between two guys coming off of horrible KO losses? What was Broner worried about? Omar is can't miss, face first, sure hit. Lipinets might be worse. Broner can't make 140. Oh, I'm sure he has mental issues. Remember the bowling alley, the shot up car? He had them all along. He's argumentative, easily provoked, and he can't bowl.

Broner should have been worried about both. Lipenets lost to Mikey Garcia (great fighter) and Ennis (strong, young, very good power and pushed the fight). Even not near his best, Lipenets outworks Broner, with little coming back from Broner. Probably stops him. Omar was fighting more demons (not training and partying) and a 22 month layoff losing to Ramos. Fight prior took Ugas distance. Think he’s rejuvenated and was going to punish Broner with nonstop punches and referee stepping in. This is a much better fight with better fighters. Should be a good scrap.

I don't know how good this fight will be. Broner might be the best of the three, but his low output style is frustrating. These two are train wrecks coming together.

Damn, Figueroa doesn't even have the size advantage. Lipinets by KO, 7th or 8th.

Have a feeling this will be a decent fight, certainly better than if Broner was in there. Lipinets will probably take it if he has anything left.
