"Adrien Broner Pulls Out Of Omar Figueroa Jr Fight Due To Mental Health Problems"



At the risk of incurring the wrath of the PC police, I gotta raise not one eyebrow... but a whole set of eyebrows to this.

There has to be at least a million one-liners that come to mind right now, but of course I don't want to seem "insensitive."


All I gotta say is, Adrien Broner... "mental health issues." I'll just let that marinate for a bit.


Are you f*cking kidding me?? REAL mental health issues is a real and serious issue, one that many people have to deal with. But at the same time it lends itself to claim abuse by any Joe, Dick and Harry who wants an easy bail on something. Of course, as soon as someone claims "mental health issues", no one will touch that with a 20-foot pole, lest they be accused of being insensitive to the poor soul. It's almost like the "Me Too" trend, where now even someone like George Foreman is being accused of sexual harassment for something that allegedly occurred sometime in the last millennium.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Broner doesn't have any mental health issues, other than those he's always had... which admittedly are quite many. IMO, he's just a buffoon who has overstayed his welcome in boxing way too long and needs to go back and reestablish himself somewhere else in life.

You can look through the previous threads and see the common theme about Broner- self destructive (a sign of mental illness). I don't disagree with your point- I think he has always had his form of mental illness which has led to some of the most erratic and frustrating behavior and that this is likely a similar version where he likely didn't train or lose the weight more than depression...etc. That being said, I'm not a doctor and not his doctor so that is speculation on my part.

Great points brought up prior to this announcement where Broner is fun to watch/entertaining and an ATM due to his outlandish behavior and ability to keep our attention. No matter what I hope the guy gets help and gets his act together/emotions under control- I'm skeptical that he will accept the need for help and do the work needed to get himself together, unfortunately. The bigger issue to me is the world we live in- we as a society say we are sympathetic to mental health but in reality we encourage self destructive behavior by rewarding those individuals with our money/attention while they are imploding and then ignoring them when they stop. Broner isn't the best example of this, but I feel he is an example of society rewarding self destructive behavior.

Excellent take, as always.

You're dead on about society encouraging self-destructive behavior and then ignoring them when they stop. We can be cruel that way. I too, am skeptical about Broner accepting the help he obviously needs. To me though, it's his personality mixed in with whatever mental health issues he may have, along with a gigantic dose of misguided self-aggrandizing piled on top. Broner's one of those guys who I cringe to think about their life after boxing.

i hope adrian can get the support from the people close to him that he needs. sergey lipinets will step in against omar figueroa this weekend instead

Sergey has stepped in against several people in the past at the last minute and does pretty well in that role. Broner definitely needs psychiatric support, and has been in denial for many years about it I think. Deeply entrenched and will be a life-changing experience once he can bring it to the surface

Omar Figueroa Jr. says he isn’t going to let the withdrawal of Adrien Broner dampen his performance this Saturday as he gets set to face late replacement opponent Sergey Lipinets in the main event of a Showtime Championship Boxing card.

Broner, a former four-division titleholder, announced early Monday that he was pulling out from the fight at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Fla., citing mental health issues. Figueroa (28-2-1, 19 knockouts) of Weslaco, Texas didn’t take too kindly to the late withdrawal, challenging Broner to show proof that he is seeking professional help for his mental health issues.

i wouldn't be surprised if sergey won

Most likely get backlash here. So I'll preface with saying that I am a single father with 5 kids.
2 of my older daughters had some pretty severe issues in this area. One after having some very bad things happen to her that I won't get into.
I didn't completely understand all of it at the time but have come to reach a point of complete empathy.

But do you think it is a coincidence that Broners outing of his mental health has nothing to do with the positive feedback and praise that the media has given Danny Garcia most recently on his statements? Rightfully so, don't get me wrong. And past with Ryan and Tyson?

If I am right, he is insulting anyone going through legit struggles. If I am wrong I owe some people an apology. And God Bless anyone struggling.

Just timing seemed odd to me. But like I said, I may be totally wrong here.
