Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer touted this past Saturday's performance by former WBO 130-pound titleholder Adrien Broner, who scored a fifth-round knockout of Vicente Escobedo at U.S. Bank Arena in Broner's hometown of Cincinnati.
Known as "Da Problem," Broner (24-0, 20 knockouts) scored his fifth straight stoppage against the 30-year-old Escobedo (26-4, 15 KOs), who was knocked out for the first time in his career.
Broner's effort scored a 3.4 rating on the telecast, a number which surpassed HBO's tape-delayed re-broadcast of Tim Bradley's controversial split-decision over Manny Pacquiao, as well as Danny Garcia's upset fourth-round knockout of Amir Khan on July 14.
