Fight Still ON

[-Kev-]

Im starting to get the impression that somehow this **** may have been somewhat staged up to capitalize off the hype. He(Broner)may have come in over-weight for the 1st weigh-in, and then after all the outrage over it they staged up the 2nd weight-in with every intention of him failing to make THAT weight, to suck us into wanting to see this fight even more than we already did. Not to mention garner him some more anti-fans(Boxing fans that want to see him fail/GKTFO)in Floyd-esque fashion. If so(and believe me I am purely speculating)..............................Smart gotdamn move!!!!!!!!!! This fight has triple the hype it did 48 hrs ago.

I'm not gonna watch it regardless, but it does have more hype now. Even Broner fans are pissed off at him, this guy is gonna be a true villain if he keeps this up. I honestly think nothing of it, I don't like him anymore or any less. Morales and Rios fans are still their fans even after Rios failed to make weight in two consecutive fights, and Morales failed to make weight against Garcia and didn't even try shed the pounds off.

Escobedo is a C fighter at best, I don't know where all these fans giving him a chance are coming from. I'm just waiting for Broner to start fighting at 135, 140, 147.

im not sure a single person critisizing broner is a fan of escobedo, i know im not. in fact im a big fan of broner but that doesnt mean i wont call him out on some bull****, and this is some ol' bull****. just bcuz i like him dont mean i put him above boxing, he has to make weight just like everyone else and if he doesnt he deserves to get critisized.

your the fanboy trying to twist this **** around. broner fcked up end of story.

This. I'm also a fan and I can't agree more.

so basically if broner wasn't such a **** the fight would go on. Great job broner. when trying to be floyd goes wrong.

Broner better win this decisively.. if he were to lose on top of not making weight, his whole world would come crumbling in.

Escobedo is gonna be smashed

This is nuts. Jesus H. Christ on an ice rink, what in the HELL is going on?! Fight off, Fight on. Off, on, off, on, off, on. I just want to see Broner that's all. Come fight night either way, they'll be pretty close in size to each other. Broner might weigh 3 or 4 more pounds then Escobedo once they're both completely re-hydrated.

I understand why Escobedo's team is pissed, but they should know come fight night they'll be relatively the same size and there won't be this huge advantage. Not a fight changing advantage at least, if anything Broner will be more debilitated then Escobedo, because I'm telling you, Broner didn't look like he could come down anymore without completely draining himself, he was utterly shredded and ripped to the bone.

Escobedo and his management will be getting a $30,000 compensation, come on, let's just make the damn fight happen. If I'd trained for weeks and weeks for a fight, I wouldn't care if the dude outweighed me by a couple of pounds, I'd just want to make all the training and preparations worth it, not to mention I'd definitely do it if I was getting 30 grand for compensation. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying what happened with Broner was right, it's NOT. BUT, Escobedo will be getting financial compensation added on top of his purse, and he won't be outweighed by much come tonight, let's just make the damn fight.
