Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner Comes in at 143, Escobedo Fight is Off

OR obviously he took the immature route, the "y'all don't dictate what I do" route. The "I'm the star" route. "This fight gonna happen regardless" route. no? He gorged himself lol, how could I not see the signs, it's totally unfathomable of this arrogant, undefeated kid to think that the world revolves around him and that he's gonna get what he wants. How dumb am I.

That makes him an even bigger idiot. But if he wanted the fight that bad, he would have made weight. Simple really.

[QUOTE=J The UnBiased;12358920]Upsets happen, but the likely hood is slim in comparison to favorable outcomes. QUOTE]Well thanks for that enlightening piece of the obvious. Lets just have you assign who fights and who doesn't since the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Did it occur to you Escobedo has fans who would like to see him win not just Broner lose? Or just see a fight regardless? Me, sure, I would love to see Broner's leg twitch someday as he is being counted out.

I don't want to see any more weight weakened fighters fight anymore. No more Rios or Broner type situations. Broner is only 22 years old and growing. I'm glad the fight is off! Glad!

Escobedo gets a shot either way

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

its up to deep pockets to put this stooge in his place.

HBO cannot be happy with this last minute crap.
hbo, showtime. its up to you guys.

Hope HBO tries to **** him like they wanted to do to Gamboa when he pulled out of the Rios fight.

Damn. Thanks Abo my man. I missed that fight. I was in Afghanistan last June(guess I shoulda check BoxRec before posting ). Lundy would be a great scrap, but Lundys' fighting next week. But there are plenty at 135 for him to get it it on with. Imma have to YT the Litzau fight. I wouldnt've thought that he could **** Litzau out so fast. But the kid(Broner)is talented.

Yea and Litzau is a bum.

Btw props to Escobedo and his people for not selling out and taling the money. Sorry he had to go thru all the trouble to make weight and whatnot but props to them. Im a fan noe,, they stood up for themselves.

It sucks, and really he has let the fans down more than anybody. Some of ya'll are way overreacting about this though .

Escobedo gets a shot either way

yes but against a lesser opponent.

I agree with you. : biggthump

I don't want to see this fight go ahead, because I'm sick of the rules being bent just to accommodate lazy and unprofessional fighters, putting the hard workers like Escobedo at a disadvantage.

But if it does go ahead, I hope Escobedo gets his original purse and 100% of Boners purse on top. No way should Boner benefit from a fight were he has broken the rules and had the rules changed on several occasions just to favor him as well.
