How Depressed is Broner Right Now?
How Depressed is Broner Right Now?
Sorry Champ. I hope you’re surrounded by some GO GO girls right now. It would have been easy work tonight.
Re: How Depressed is Broner Right Now?
Looking at the empty stands, I wonder if he caught wind that no one was going to watch that garbage fight and correctly bounced. Now he can fight Lipinets in a more lucrative fight, imo.
He's obviously not smart enough to have intentionally made the right decision, but I think he played his cards right. Beating Figueroa really would've meant nothing, and since Broner is gun-shy with little to no power post-135, it would've been a dull and boring fight with Figueroa.

The guy couldn't even wash himself during rehab, imagine how bad it can be.
Figueroa has been banged up since his comeback years, and his match with Ugas really showed it. AB can have Lipinets' number though if he is not tentative.

Re: How Depressed is Broner Right Now?
What blows me away is the fact that after Figuroa, dealing with his own mental health coming back from dark places, should be the last person to demand that Broner "prove" his excuse for pulling out of the fight. stfu dude.
One person never knows what struggles others have on a day to day basis. People shouldn't harshly judge decisions others make, without knowing the options they had to choose from.
All said, combat sports is probably the worst vocation for someone with mental issues, where mental toughness is required.

Does Broner even beat Lips ?
Re: How Depressed is Broner Right Now?
Say what you want about the fight not meaning anything but Broner would have clearly demolished Figueroa last night and get credit for retiring him. Instead, Lips is now in line for a big payday as a result of the win which could have been Broner’s elevated status. Lips taking this fight with 5 days notice just saved his career which was all but done. Hence, the reason he’s the boxer on standby fights like this. Its a clear reversal of fortune situation.Mexi-Box wrote: ↑21 Aug 2022, 00:43 Looking at the empty stands, I wonder if he caught wind that no one was going to watch that garbage fight and correctly bounced.

i doubt broner's withdrawal had anything to do with thinking he'd lose to figueroa, omar has looked utter trash for a while now. broner would still beat him on speed alone

Re: How Depressed is Broner Right Now?
The stands tell me that no one cares about Figueroa. The only promotion for this fight I saw was Broner complaining that the press conference was done through Zoom. Broner seemed like he was trying to protect his drawing power here more than trying to elevate his rankings, hence he dropped out. Something tells me they anticipated this and had Lipinets on standby... or they always were going to pit the winner against Lipinets.caldo2025 wrote: ↑21 Aug 2022, 16:25Say what you want about the fight not meaning anything but Broner would have clearly demolished Figueroa last night and get credit for retiring him.

I don't think it was anything other than Broner being brash with his dwindling star power that is almost non-existant. The atmosphere reminded me of those old Showbox: The Next Generation cards.

Re: How Depressed is Broner Right Now?
That’s a pretty ridiculous premise if I must say so. This fight was being televised to millions around the world. These guys care not about ticket sales at small venues. This was a main event fight advertised way more successfully than it should have. And I guarantee that many asses decided to go elsewhere than their seats once Lipinets was penciled in the slot instead of Broner.Mexi-Box wrote: ↑21 Aug 2022, 20:29The stands tell me that no one cares about Figueroa.

Broner has consistently shot himself in the foot at every turn in his career. I’m afraid that he’s run out bullets this time bc I really do think that he would have definitely set himself up for a very big fight had he followed through here and garnered the not too much contested win. I’ve always loved Omar’s fights so I don’t mean to piss on he or his career. But boxers and their trainers don’t just come up with the retirement option after a bad loss. They knew this was Fig’s last fight well before it was called.
Re: How Depressed is Broner Right Now?
You're overestimating Showtime here. Brook/Spence Jr. barely drew. Do you really think 1 million is going to be the viewership for Broner/Figueroa? That's even more insane.caldo2025 wrote: ↑22 Aug 2022, 14:19That’s a pretty ridiculous premise if I must say so. This fight was being televised to millions around the world.
