Bad fight......Monty Meza Clay was better than this s**t, and that was bad too.

Why not Argenis Mendez, Juan Carlos Burgos, etc????

[Mr. Ryan]

When a guy is matched the way Adrien Broner has been in recent fights, it tells me that the promoter knows something about him that he doesn't want the rest of the public to discover.

This is just a step backward. He had decent/good fights with Ponce De Leon, Litzau, and Perez. Why Sykes??? Unless it's just a stay busy fight and he's going to fight two good fights this year after this, than this is just wrong in every way.

Must be a "tune up"

Must be a "tune up"

I consider even Escobedo an okay fight/decent fight, nothing great. He better fight someone like Argenis Mendez, Juan Carlos Salgado, before leaving 130.

I just don't get this. He took a huge step up with Ponce De Leon, and than had solid fights with Litzau and Perez, now Sykes???? It's criminal.
