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

unprofessional

so unprofessional - I hope HBo holds it against this guy, although they probably wont bc I believe hes managed by Haymon, so theyl prob give him a 1 mil to make his lightwt debut against som scrub. thats one of the major pro***s wit boxing is that most of the top fighters dont fight each other. would love to see Broner v gamboa or demarco, but I doubt they put broner in wit any tough opponent yet. he was a 14-1 favorite over escobedo.

Another HBO hyped scrub bites the dust............I wonder what Kellerman and Lampley are going to conjure up to salvage his bs rep now?

I hope the loser just retires

You act as if he just got KTFO by Escobedo or somethin lol. He ****ed up on the weight, that's it. Now he needs to get his fat ass up to 135 and stop playing games.

he posted pics of junk food in his hand... that dont mean he actually ate it


he overweight cuz he too big for the division..

Gamboa vs Escobedo, that should be next.

[rasdun]

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.

yeah - and from waht i heard after he didnt make weight yesterday, he just got off and started drinkn watr - no attempt to lose the last 3 lbs. his guy really thinx he's the **** already, when meanwhile, the only decent opponent he fought - de leon, moved up in weight and broner barely beat him in a close and controversial decision

Broner should just fight Keith Thurman tonight. lol

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.

He can look forward to Joan Guzman levels of exposure from here on out. HBO does not take this kind of thing lightly. They probably sunk massive amounts of time and money into putting this show together, so I think its fair to assume we won't be seeing Adrian Boner on HBO anytime in the near future, if past behavior is any indicator.

r u serious? y wud he post pictures of food he didnt eat. he's ovrwt bc he has no discipline. as i posted above, he didnt even attempt to lose more weight aftr the 1st weigh-in. then after the 1st weigh-in, all he had to do was limit his re-hydration to another 7 lbs for the weigh-in this morn and he cudnt even do that. . then he cudve rehydrated the rest of the aftrnoon and eveningwat a joke

[sicko]

way to ruin my weekend Broner

This means no more easy fights for him, he wants to win fans over (many of them wasn't a fan of his anyway lol) he better jump into that 135 division with a ****, fight Hank Lundy or one of the Top Fighters at 135 with in the next few months to make things up

Will the entire card be canceled? I hope Keith Thurman will still get his chance to impress on HBO

i hope so, but as i posted above, i believe he's advised by Haymon. u kno wat that means. HBO will pay him a ton to fight jesus chavez nor david diaz in his 135 lb debut
