[UTEP]

Gavin Rees??? Damn that suck's I was hoping Broner would fight the #1 lightweight in the world.

[g-wane]

basically this is the poor mans mayweather vs hatton

No this is poor mans Floyd vs Gattie .. This guy reese gets hit with 4 punch combos by C class fighters. His punches are wide, he has very little if any head movement, he's open at both head and the body..

This guys is going to get seriously hurt fighting Boner .. Im not sure the purpose of this fight..

In response to the guy above me......Broner is the #1 LW in the world and this....

Vazquez turned down 350k to fight Broner in November. Plus, you have to take into account that Broner is a Golden Boy fighter, Vazquez is a Zanfer fighter, who primarily works with Top Rank almost all the time. That itself makes it hard to make. I mean they can't even make major fights like Donaire-Mares or Mayweather-Pacquiao happen, let alone a good/solid but not huge fight at 135 like Broner-Vazquez. I'm looking for Yuri to move up to 135 and take Vazquez' title.

Vazquez has been the #1 lightweight for a while now, way before Broner stepped up to 135.

Dont act like a Vasquez/Broner fight is impossible to make. Top rank has no say whatsoever on who Zanfer fighters can fight.

and that ring article is interesing but here's a more recent article you should read.

If he is fighting again in May then WTF is the PROBLEM?

Its a Top 10 Fighter in his Division at least...I want to see him fight Vazquez badly also but that fight not happening on HBO! He was involved in one of the worst fights in HBO History (even though it wasn't really Vazquez fault)

But it is a fight that should happen even if Broner has to jump to Showtime for one fight to make it happen but that is likely not going to happen because clearly HBO has big Plans For Broner

I am kinda laughing at the sudden Vazquez hype though HAHAHA, nobody was talking about Vazquez before the Gesta fight

[4Corners]

That doesn't change the fact that when Vazquez was offered the fight......he turned 350k down to do it.

Thats the part that I don't understand, HBO will gladly welcome a Gavin Rees fight but they don't want a unification fight to see who's the best at 135.

Yeah because Gavin Rees wasn't part of a Awful match with Gesta...now that wasn't all Vazquez fault but yeah the match was Terrible

Vazquez not coming back to HBO ANYTIME SOON which is unfortunate

And Yes Vazquez did turn down $350K Earlier this year which was confirmed by GBP Match Maker Eddie Gomez but for some reason that is being swept under the rug but the Broner Haters, they pretend like they don't see that because they want to keep bashing Broner

When in actuality it is Burns to blame, he is rated like the 3rd best fighter in the Division and he don't want to fight so who fault is that exactly?

[El Presidente]

Is this the headliner fight for that night? Good luck selling tickets for this one. Time to call papa Broner to hand them tickets out again.

Devon Alexander and Chad Dawson have had thier share of boring fights on HBO yet they still kept getting HBO airtime.

Hopefully Vasquez vs. Broner happens before Broner jumps up to 140, if not people are gonna call it a duck and rightfully so.
