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

[spoonwars]

Whether he made he weight or not broner is going to completely outclass Escobedo....broner is too Skilled, too fast and too strong.

You can add 'not making weight' to your definition of boxing superstar.

lol at fans telling Escobedo to pull out? what kinda of boxing fans are you guys suppose to be...no he should do what Abril, go out and fight him anyway and try to get the upset

but it seems to me that Escobedo and his team kinda want the Cheap way out I don't think they was confident against Broner anyway and now they have a way out

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.

full truth?!?! ****ing WOW!!

he missed the ****ing limit by ALMOST FOUR POUNDS...he then REFUSED TO EVEN TRY


what more full truths do you need? amazing

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.

im going to wait until all the facts are in to pass judgemtn myself but I can't blame mak and bojangles and other posters that much if dude actually isn't trying to lose the weight on purpose.

He looks like he is as low as he can get. I think losing more could be problematic. But he did agree to the weight and as a professional should try to make weight if he can safely.

whose tweets mine?

getting them from several people there as I dont always take one side as truth and by all accounts

1. he did try to make 130 but it stopped for him even when trying to lose it on the treadmill
2. Team Escobedo knew early this might happen so they made plans to try and make the fight still happen
3. several people reported that a) he never attempted to get anywhere closer to 130 and 2) started hydrating
4. his side was unwilling to budge on next day weight cap and 2nd weigh in

if you don't believe this cool be me but it did come from a few people there and close to the situation

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Nobody should give him a pass for something like this.

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

not only to repeat it but to say it 'felt good' to repeat it?!?!?


he'll get a pass tho...his fans love him so much because he's their lil floyd

I trust what Eaner is saying. And missing weight by nearly 4 pounds tends to only happen if a guy wasn't trying to make weight anyway.

I couldn't disagree more.

He did the right thing and he has to conceed more?

WTF is that?

It's a hard fight already, he' supposed to make it even harder for himself.

weak very weak of you

they want fairness in this yet you seemingly side with the man who literally made no attempts to compromise or make the fight happen on agreeable terms?

[americanbot]

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

I follow broners twitter page through my phone & I've never seen these tweets. (no screen shots?)

also primera says broner himself repeatedly used the term "B*****" and "wet******" on his twitter in the lead up to the Perez fight, as well as post fight.

he claims that broner said Perez cannot box "because after all, he is a Mexican."


you say broner retweeted a racist comment.

both of you guys stories are totally opposite of one another? which is it? doesn't add up at all........

i have to go by he say because none of you actually have evidence of this (i would have quickly taken screen shots. someone would have taken screen shots)
