Why is Adrien Broner fighting Gary Sykes? Is that seriously the best they could find?

    That's a joke! I mean he's apparently the 2nd best, if not, the best in the world in his division, he's been hyped up to be the next Mayweather, and yet they put him in with a top 50 (if that) fighter.

    What is going on?

    He's ducking Ricky Burns.

    I don't like Broner, but this is just dumb. Broner was all set to fight Burns when Burns decided he couldn't make the weight and moved up.

    I like Burns,but I know this is preposterous,just like I know for a fact Ricky didn't duck Broner.
    I knew it wouldn't take long to get a bite.Fish in a barrel.

    I remember reading on the Thursday morning that Sykes couldn't win the belt because he wasn't in the top 15,then that night it was for the belt.
    Does anyone know what happened?

    Basically it's a big card with it being the Khan Peterson rematch... people from both side of the Atlantic will be watching with interest and Broner is going to come across as superman to the casual fans..
