      Vazquez promoter works closely with Top Rank and Top Rank do not like working with Goldenboy and Goldenboy is the promoter of Broner.

          I remember reading tweets from Steve Kim when we didn't know who Broner's Fall opponent would be, he was saying HBO turned down Broner-Beltran. That's according to him, so I don't know.

          I don't mind a simple stay busy fight, they all have them. Broner just finished beating the #1 fighter in the division, it's not his fault Burns is avoiding him.

            That said, this fight sucks...just like every other Broner match thus far in his career.
            But I mean then who else is there at 135???

            Broner (himself), DeMarco (already beat), Abril (fighting Bogere), Bogere (fighting Abril), Burns (turned down the fight yet again), Vazquez (turned down the fight in November, is a Zanfer fighter, they work with top rank, well known fact), Rees, Beltran, Murray, and Mitchell.

            And DeMarco wasn't a bad fight man, he was the #1 LW coming off 2 wins over Top 10 LW's.

              They still work close with them and might need to work close with them for a fight between Broner and Vazquez.

                Truth is I love Rees, all 5'2 of him. Trained by the father of Joe Calzaghe he brings a good work rate, elusiveness, despite his size and quicksilver hands. However, it is simply a stay busy as Burns has made pathetic excuse after another to avoid doppleganger Floyd, so yes, he has been fed to a young lion for showcasing.

                    With all due respect to DeMarco, if he's your best opponent than your resume is basura.

                    I'm not blaming Broner - he tried to get Ricky Burns. And I'm not gonna nitpick over who he should fight given the short timeframe to the fight. But what I am saying is that this fight sucks--just like Broner's resume and I'm hoping for much, much better after this bout. Too much praise for a kid who's done squat.
