Don't get it twisted by the broner that beat escobedo. Escobedo had been ****d mentally by the weight issues and then getting paid to take a beating knowing it wasn't the right thing to do but financially it made sense since he had just had a daughter. If you ask me dude went in there with damn near no confidence he knew he was gonna get his ass beat .His post fight press conference says it all.
Seriously, I saw one maybe two clean punches from ponce in that highlight, gloves and elbows is what he was landing on...
One of my favorite HBO highlight clips is this one [ame]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v5uxEG2GiM0[/ame]
Well then you're giving Escobedo a pass for being a *****, a 5lb weight difference on the night of the fight ****ed him mentally? If that's the case he doesn't deserve to be paid for another fight. When fighters go in a fight severely outweighed and still win like Sergio vs pavlik, Pacquiao vs margarito, Floyd vs Oscar, Roy jones vs Ruiz, etc. etc. Vincente just doesn't have the skill will or heart to beat Broner weight had no issue, it's an ordinary thing for one fighter to weigh several pounds more than the other, get off the bull**** please...
If escobedo would've been a ***** he would've not took the fight those were his intentions they threw money in his face plus promised him god knows what else to have the fight happen .The fight almost didn't happen .
Luckily for the great jmm, katsidis has no power...great action fight, by the way that's what you call very hittable, not that lame clip of the ponce v Broner fight...
I know of several men personally that has ***** in them that would have fought Broner for hundreds of thousands with no training camp, doesn't make them any less of a *****, weight had no issue it's just an excuse for getting starched nothing more, had Broner made weight the Friday before and came in 5lbs heavier than vincinte the night before we wouldn't even be talking bout weight...
