Lol it sounds like he needs a tune up for Escobedo.

I hope it's against a good opponent on May 19.

Damn I gotta resize my sig picture. It's huge.

Broner should fight someone with a belt. Like one of those undefeated asian fighters.

Weak, they don't need to build towards an Escebedo fight.

[Roman Moreno]

If that's true then that's good that he is staying active. Maybe Broner fights 4 times this year.

They're not trying to build anything. Broner wants to fight 4 times this year.

Broner looking to stay really active. He should fight one of the highly rated RING or WBO SFW contenders on the Khan-Peterson II card. Someone like Bryan Vasquez, Juan Carlos Burgos, or Roman Martinez. Even that Will Tomlinson guy would be good. He's the #2 contender for the WBO title and is a young unbeaten contender. Any of those would be good title defenses for Broner. Than, have Escobedo fight someone like Martin Rodriguez, Jorge Solis, or someone like Burgos or Tomlinson. It would make a Broner-Escobedo fight more legit for July/August.

I highly doubt Ao or Uchiyama will ever get to fight Broner, why would they??? Their making good money fighting guys in Japan right now, and Japan doesn't even recognize the WBO. And why would Broner go to Japan to fight them??? He's got other decent fights possible in America and he's the guy in the power position, no way he risks going to Japan to possibly get a bad decision. That's why I doubt Broner vs. Ao/Uchiyama happens. Unless of course they came to America. I expect to see Caballero leave 126 and fight to Uchiyama, which has been rumored to be very possible.

broners staying busy, wonder who the opponent will be tho? escobedo has a fight coming up if im not mistaken so it kinda makes sense that hes not up in may.

[El Angel]

I hope it's someone decent. Not a walkover.
