That explains why he been calling everybody out on twitter desperately looking for an opponent

Just get another date and try to get a good opponent instead of trying to keep the date and squeezing in a **** opponent

Yep pretty much. The same people who refuse to fight him now he will be accuse of ducking once he goes past their level, which he will. Broner is being DUCKED.

Omar Figueroa is not a tune up for Adrien Broner... Kid would be a handful for Broner, especially in his first fight at 135; recipe for an upset special.

Murray or Rees would be the best (safest, but highest rated and realistic) options for Broner.

Beltran would be a good, but dangerous option. Broner is used to being the bigger and stronger fighter in addition to the more talented and skilled, against Beltran, he wouldn't be the bigger and stronger fighter; I wouldn't be surprised if it's another close decision loss for Beltran, where he has his moments making Broner look bad.

I completely agree. I don't support career like those of Canelo Alvarez but if the kid's coming into a new division he should have a gimme fight to know where he ranks. I guess he's too good to be allowed that.

Those people can't fight him if they arent being made the offer.

HBO is having flashbacks of Ponce vs Broner. They obviously don't feel like he's gotten any better if they don't want him in there with someone pressuring him.

i honestly dont know that anyone is ducking broner as of rite now. because all the top guys at 135 have fights upcoming. so the only ppl who are free are john murry and ray beltran. hbo rejected the beltran fight so really there is no1 to fight. im not sure they will accpet murray, but i guess thats the fight they should try to make if possible. not a fight id want to see personally because murray is very ordinary but he has a good ranking according to most boxing mags.

ponce didnt pressure broner. did u even watch the fight? thats not even ponce's style to pressure.

anyways, hbo wouldnt turn down a fight because it would be difficult for broner. they arent his promoter.

[TBear]

Something tells me that it was that they couldn't find a "low risk" opponent. That's generally what matchmakers mean when they say "an opponent couldn't be found"!

Im gonna have to Boxrec this Carlos Molina they're talking about cause I can sincerely say Ive never heard of him

Sure they can. Broner is obviously their guy now... Floyd is gonna be gone and Canelo is with Showtime pretty much.

[brick wall]

what kind of opponent are they looking for exactly?
