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

[Eaner0919]

can you read?

post the other comments that you're referring to.

well I do believe he deleted his tweets but essentially he responded to one of his followed calling Eloy Perez a whetback and asking Broner to retweet it which he did with an LOL

then after he tweeted "man that felt good to RT that ****"

to which I kept asking him if that's how he really felt and tweeting to Golden Boy if they knew that their fighter supported people calling one of their fighters a whetback

this was about a month before the Perez

No, I knew he came down to eventually challenge for a title, but the way you said that at first, I took it like you meant he SPECIFICALLY came down to challenge for the WBO title. Like, he had been fighting at lightweight up until this fight, and he decided to come down and challenge Broner, that's what I thought you meant. Sorry, I misinterpreted what you said.

No big thing.

The way I heard Escobedo talk 130 was right for him.

He's lost at 135 to people worse than Broner. (read: Katsidis)

Many African-Americans like chicken. But I would be making a racist remark, IMO, if I were to say "On to this chicken-eating dude, Adrien Broner." Yes, you are correct, it is a stereotype. But I think that one makes a racist remark when using stereotypes in an immoral manner.

Do you find southpark and family guy funny?

Also americans consume a lot of chicken and whites are the "majority" so.....

No way Esco walks away from an HBO purse and title shot.

3.5 pounds man...i get disappointed when dudes come in half a pound over the limit...this guy was almost 4lbs over...shameful

I was close to being a fan, too. The guy is funny and really talented. Something like this though, screw him. You don't miss weight and then act like he apparently is.

what a total piece of ****

If Escobedo pulls out and wins a few more at 130, another title shot will come along. Maybe even for Borner's vacant title.

Borner is a monster as it is, and giving up over three pounds is just extra nails on his coffin.

Escobedo should walk. I know he probably can't afford to, but I wish he would.

Nobody should give him a pass for something like this.

And to repeat it. jesus. Very few can get away with that stuff.

so you don't even know for sure how he is acting about missing weight other than tweets, but you have decided not to be a fan anymore.

can't we get the full truth first.

He's 22 and the world knew him as a talented **** talker 3 hours ago. Now the world sees him as a **** talker who wont even try and honor a weight agreement.

Images Take years to build and seconds to destroy.

He has the machine behind him and as long as he backs up the sh.it talking in the ring his image will never take a hit. People will love him or hate him as they already do and he's only 22 years old. All broner has to do is win and he can acts the way he wants to act.

I do agree him not making weight is a bad look but it happens and nobody knows the circumstances surrounding why he was unable to make weight.
