    he didn't face any of the top 5 guys at the top of the division. Are they big names? No. Uchiyama is undefeated. he can fight. he beat salgado who is also highly ranked. Salgado-he can fight. He can punch a little. He is the guy that first stretched Linares in 1 round.

    Broner easily could have made a fight with someone better than Perez.

    Escobedo is a solid fighter and could possibly give Broner a fight tomorrow night. So what did broner do? came in at 133.5. if he was going to do anything like that they could have started negotiating things a few days ago.

    instead he let escobedo go through the sacrifice of getting all the way down to 130. while broner didn't do so. And escobedo has fought some at 135. I would guess the last few pounds to make 130 are far from easy.

    so broner knew he wasn't going to make weight and made sure his opponent sacrificed himself to make it. so he can come into the fight not weakened at all by making weight and escobedo will have.

    Great job. when you have talent you shouldn't try to gain advantages like that. amateurish.
    Broner is only 22 so he is still very much an immature, self centered, egotistical little asshole. Surprised a little bit he has so many children at such a young age.

    His "Free Money May" T-shirt, shit head attitude toward making weight and fake marriage proposal at the end of the fight didn't exactly endear him to the American audience.

    But, I figure he wants to go the villain route and piss white America off and what not.

    Worked wonders for Floyd in terms of $$$.

    Anyway Broner performed well and patiently picked Escobedo apart. Escobedo gave hints he didn't want to be there before the fight and was just there for a paycheck and his corner throwing the towel in so early seemed to confirm that.

    Thought Escobedo had an excellent jab and was getting some good body work in, but didn't seem to discourage Broner much.
    There would have a been a significant difference in the outcome if Broner had come in at the contracted weight of 130 and fought Escobedo at that weight. Instead he fucking cheated and probably weighed close to welterweight (147) during last night's fight.

    In Re: "Free Money May", for what, abusing his ex-wife and children? Broner is an imbecile.
