More on the Broner situation 1. he is just sitting there not willing to lose the weight 2. Escobedos team wants him to be 131.5 for a fight

Ernest Gabion @eaner0919
The Broner team has already conceded 1. the 20% fine 2. he will give up the belt but now the sticking point is whether he loses the 2lbs

Ernest Gabion @eaner0919
To make the fight happen. Currently he is making no efforts to lose the weight at all. Team Escobedo is furious at this

not cool at all...smh

didn't take him long to rub me the wrong way

[Eaner0919]

Damn I bet Team Escobedo's up in arms.

they are but Chente wants the title shot

they're waiting on Broner's team now

[CubanGuyNYC]

his title is gone..........you can't lose 3 pounds in such a short amount of time, you will hurt yourself (should have come in at the proper weight from the start) but whats done is done. he'll lose his title & their negotiating A max weight right now..........all he can do @ this point is put on a good show. & move up.

That's probably the best that can be hoped for (and one of the reasons why I think this fight will go through). Escobedo's camp should demand that Broner not weigh any more than 135 (or, say, whatever Vicente plans to weigh) tomorrow. It's a very reasonable demand, and Escobedo wouldn't be at a weight disadvantage.

Can't blame 'em.

Thanks for the updates as always E!

[Eaner0919]

despite what's being told

Team Escobedo has not heard that Broner's side accepted

[The Big Dunn]

Its disappointing that Broner didn't make weight. Time to go to 135.

[CubanGuyNYC]

latest

weight cap of 140 and noon weigh in for tomorrow proposed

hope it gets accepted

(Whoops...missed this post. This thread is moving too fast! lol)

That's perfectly fair, as long as Escobedo's team made the proposal.

[CHOWWOKKA]

Warr Broner!!

Because this is a fight between 2 guys, now just about Broner. Yeah, Broner can be lazy and just care for himself, but he's going to get a completely unfair advantage against a guy who actually trained and made a diet in order to make the weight limit.

People can get hurt because of crap like this, a guy who's one or two divisions above could seriously hurt a smaller guy. There's a reason boxing is divided in weight classes.

wait.............boxing has penalties & punishments for those who doesn't make weight. (max weight, stripped title, & cash penalty) escobedo has fought as high as 140. actually escobedo is a natural 135'er he's not a small guy...........broner will not shed 3 pounds because it will risk his body.

he'll have to take his punishments (like rios or any other fighter) & move up.

whats done is done...........

was told kid is in a restaurant drinking water no attempts to sweat off weight

Can't respect this move at all, especially after all of those fight hype videos he made this week talking about he was in "shapes"
