Not sure though if Broner or someone in his camp cared to give some evidence that proves he has some mental issues that's why he backed out from that fight. Who wouldn't be so pissed about that? Grin

You've allocated all your time and effort for a certain boxer to study his moves in the ring and Figueroa is really looking forward to fight Broner in the same ring but unfortunately, Broner turns his back on him.

Oh well, we really will not know the real reasons for now, maybe they just said to the organizations that AB has mental issues and can't be bothered and so he wanted to cancel the fight, so it is what it is. This could be the new norm of excuses if fighters just wake up and doesn't what to fight anymore. For sure Broner will get a lot of judgement on this one. Specially on his style and arrogant and self-important this guy is when promoting his fight.

Evidence should be provided or if not there should be penalties that must be imposed.
I read an article before that Figueroa's camp has some evidence that Broner is not really in a bad mental state.
He even called it just a reason to "cop out".
I guess this is the next bad reasoning after the Covid. Figueroa's fans are still not satisfied with what happened (loss to Lipinets) and all the blame are on what Broner did. I guess it really sucks to prepare at a full blow for your real match but will end up fighting a different boxer.

I think, Figueroa's camp should let things go. Besides, it is their own incompetence that made them lose the fight. It does suck to have the opponent replaced at the last moment but if the fight goes the other way around and Figueroa's won the fight, I doubt there will be an issue like this. Besides, both fighters had given the same amount of time for preparation for the strategy since both fighters are notified at the same time.

Figueroa's had move forward already, of course there could be what if for him, maybe he can beat this version of Broner. But he has found his peace already, and just retire for good and focus on his family. We can't say the same with Broner though, I think he will still continue to fight for some money because he has a lot of mouths to feed.

Jake Paul has announced his next opponent is Anderson Silva. I think Jake might have but off a little more than he can chew this time. Sure, Silva is damn near 50 years old, but he’s got power that Jake hasn’t seen before. I like this fight. I’d rather have seen him fight Andrew Tate, but this was unexpected and a nice surprise.

Yes it is, https://www.mmafighting.com/2022/8/30/23328607/jake-paul-vs-anderson-silva-reportedly-set-for-october-boxing-bout

Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva is about to go down.

TMZ reported Tuesday that Paul is set to face longtime UFC middleweight champion and MMA legend Silva in a boxing bout in October, with a location still to be determined. An initial report from NoSmokeBoxing has the bout scheduled for Oct. 29.

MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz reached out to sources with knowledge of the matchup who confirmed that the bout is in the works.

Still a good fight and it make sense as it could still make a lot of money for both of them. But we all know that Anderson is way past his prime so all the advantage points to him.
