Comments Thread For: Weights From Cincinnati: Broner 133.5*, Escobedo 130

No sh1.t!

But according to E, looks like Broner's not even making any effort on the new proposal, haven't heard from his team. Looks like he's treating this one as a "take it or leave it" thing, despite the impending lawsuits and contract breaches (if there are any in clauses) if the fight don't happen.

A 140 lb fight-day limit is very reasonable, in my opinion. The ball is in Broner's court. Adrien would be declining a second chance to make good on his commitment if he refuses to the terms. Not making weight is bad enough, but snubbing a chance to make it all better could (and should) hurt his career. I think he'll accept. If he doesn't, he and his advisors are truly ******.

damn is broner even drained? or is he being a d1ck and just doesnt want to make weight

[Atreyu Khalil]

I've never wanted a person to lose or get KO'd as much as i do Broner right now.

It's a good job Broner is no known puncher, 3.5 pounds over at a weigh in for 130lbs is no joke. Someone could get seriously injured.

Come on Escobedo, shock the world son.

Not a known puncher? He has 19 kos in 23 fights

What do you expect?

Broner carries himself as a pr*ck and said in the last few weeks that he can 'eat whatever he wants and still make the weight' - then he misses the weight limit by 3.5lbs and doesn't even try to get down.

yah guy acts like a clown..he has the skills to be a good fighter, but he needs to mature and focus himself.

That's not what I meant J, my man. I meant the title should of just been out of the picture for this fight, and made it at a agreed upon catchweight or at LW, what's wrong with that?

What's wrong is that Escobedo purposely moved down to fight for the WBO belt at 130.

Now he may get screwed over.

That's the issue here.

We should shun him the same way everyone did Joan Guzman not even trying to cut the weight,its one fcking thing to not be able to make the weight its a whole different story to not even fcking try i hope Escobedo knocks this **** bum out.

i dont expect much from boxing...from all the weird and corrupt **** that happens..but what i DO EXPECT is for these ****ers to at least honor the weight...get as big as they want after the weigh in, i dont give a **** but at least show that you're professional enough to at least make the weight..


some fighters come in half pound, maybe a pound over and its disappointing...THIS assh0le comes in almost FOUR ****ING POUNDS over and didnt even bother tryin to trim...Eaner said for him to at least get down to 131.5, dude didn't even bother

fair point and he should be held accountable.

But if he was a humble guy and didn't self promote, no one would be watching him on HBO and, as such, there wouldn't be 200 posts in an hour about him because we wouldn't really care about this fight.

He definitely should have tried to lose the weight as a competitor. As a "star attraction" well, thats another discussion. Ultimately he is hurting his image with both boxing and casual fans.

Can you read at all? He had MANY other comments about Mexicans, I said that Broner fans ONLY acknowledge the burrito eater comment, because they're too ****** and naive to admit the other stuff he said.

can you read?

post the other comments that you're referring to.

[bojangles1987]

There goes any chance of me being a fan. What a punk. You could at least try and make some concessions. Utter lack of respect for the sport he makes money at.

[CubanGuyNYC]

Don't fight Escobedo!! Stick the middle finger up at broner and make sure HBO are pissed off with him.

Difference between broner and the rios/canelo situation is at least they tried to lose the weight!!

Trouble is, the network would probably not look too favorably on Escobedo if he didn't make some extra effort to make this fight happen. It's in everyone's interest that "the show go on." If Broner rejects a reasonable offer by Vicente's team, he'll shoulder all the blame.
