Nah, I think he got exposed by Marcos Maidana, after his first defeat in boxing, he seemed to have lost his ability to win, he is more talk than action in the ring, even in the fight with Pacman, he disrespected the champ, and though he won the fight although it was obvious that was hit more than he hits Pacman.

Well, you may be right about that, and we can not confirm if the downfall of Adrien Broner could really be Marcos Maidana or Manny Pacquiao and because Maidana was the first loss Broner felt, maybe he really is the cause of the change for Broner's attitude, well he still has 3 consecutive wins after that, but well we can be wrong about it, but surely Adrien Broner isn't really that good anymore that is for sure,


You got some point because mostly, the replacement is not actually within the same caliber as the original fighter but there are also some times that their foes were shocked as well as the public because the replacement is not someone to be underestimated and ultimately they lost the fight just like Manny Pacquiao, Figueroa and Ancajas.

I sure do hope that Ancajas will come prepared this time and solve his issues in the weight because this fight is his ticket to fight Ioka next.


I surely hope so, I also wish that they can have a win again or get a title match so they can reclaim that loss they have, and about Manny Pacquiao, he will be having a special boxing match against DK Yoo, this is going to be on December and just thinking about it, I think it will be hilarious, they are facing inside the ring with boxing and we all know that all of Manny Pacquiao's life he was doing boxing while DK Yoo, is on Martial Art's he is some what new to fighting on boxing, and he surely makes illegal punches because he is not used to the sports, and some roll to evade his opponent, of this is the MMA then I think he can surely used all of his mastered skill in Combat but against an 8th time division boxer he will surely face the wrath of Manny Pacquiao,

I just hope that he have learned the lesson that being overconfident is also dangerous. But yes, despite that he's aware of who can he beat and win.

It's better for him to have that emotion set at the normal setting so that it won't overwhelm him when he's on another match whether it will be from a lower division fighter or of the same.

Who? Donaire? I don't really think that he have that kind of attitude where goes being overconfident to his foe because of his capabilities, we know Donaire's attitude towards Inoue though but none of it shouts that he's overconfident.

Even us didn't really expected that Inoue will evolve that much because we think that they will still have a long 12-round fight where there will be a long blow-by-blow punches all the way to the 12th round. But Inoue finished Donaire in just 2 rounds with a stoppage.
On his match with Inoue, he said that he's going to beat Inoue and that's what I think that he became overconfident on that time. That's just my opinion and if you think guys that it's not a sign that he's overconfident with those words, that's okay.

It is what I've thought of him.

But I want the best for him if he ever will have another match again. We all love to see him back and healthy again with a win.


Well, we all know that in boxing many times having too much confidence is not good, if it is good to have self-esteem, but you cannot declare yourself the winner either because that is what often kills the boxer and then he loses and falls like a rock, because he does not know how to control the level of stress that his words represent when he spoke at that moment, a quiet person, who prepares well, who trains very hard, most likely he will win, otherwise I think it is very difficult, although there are boxers who speak and do what they preach and are not at all humble, but I am sure that in a moment they will fall, 'because everything is like that in life.

Anyway, Jerwin already have some knowledge now how to counter Martinez's punches or even outmatch the latter. Let's just hope too that Jerwin wouldn't experience the same situation he was in on their first encounter because I heard that he was struggling to make the required weight.

Hopefully, Jerwin won't slack this time since he doesn't have any more reason why he will lose a fight.  I bet Ancajas will be fully prepared this time.  I believe Ancajas underestimated Martinez in their first fight since Martinez is just a replacement but surprised him that Martinez is a tough opponent and even beat him in speed.  But first thing first, I hope Jerwin won't have any problem on their weigh-in.

Well, we are all clear that the main objective is for Ancajas to win, at least that is the one who is looking for that result at all costs, in any case his main objective is to go against Ioka, but he is a boxer who is always looking for success, but I am seriously thinking that Ancajas has a good plan to get a victory and then go all out for Ioka, of course he has to win before and I don't see it as easy, for me he already has his strategy and I think that because of the style that he It always shows, I would go to think that it is considered to do a knockout, so there is no wear, it comes out quickly and the only wear it will do is at the beginning.

Adrian Broner should have announced his retirement if he doesn't want to fight anymore After his loss to Manny Pacquiao he isn't the same anymore, he doesn't want to take a fight mostly, he sure is not the same Adrian Broner back then, in my opinion, or maybe I think he realised that he isn't really cut to fight Omar Figueroa Jr. anymore so he is making alibi so he can not fight him, and we can not persuade a fighter that doesn't want to fight anymore, he might have realized that he isn't on his prime anymore,

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.

Well, I think Adrian Broner just wants to piss Omar Figueroa Jr. by not telling him ahead about his condition, or maybe he doesn't really have any issue at all he just wants to piss Omar Figueroa Jr. by just canceling their fight suddenly, Omar Figueroa's record right now is not looking good having good consecutive wins up to February 16, 2019,  until having 3 consecutive losses he surely needs a winning record and a good fight before he retires, he surely needs that win badly that is for sure,


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.

We can't know that for sure because aside from the fact that Ancajas was struggling to catch the required weight, his trainings were originally made for Ioka and the team was studying the Japanese boxer's move for quite some time to help Ancajas win the fight but that didn't happen because of Ioka's sudden decision.

Yes, we can't be sure about the result but if that fight against Ioka happened, it might be hard for Ancajas to do exactly the strategy they formed against Ioka since he's not in his usual condition which his camp also admits. It's really stressful for the body to undergo force and rush training and works on his diet of maintaining weight especially if the weigh-in is now approaching.

Not sure though why Ioka backed out, does anybody here know why?

The response above is correct. It's because of the Omicron variant that hits Japan late last year. Since the venue will be in Japan, it got delayed. Also, the same case happened with GGG vs Murata fight that is postponed due to the virus as they also held their fight in Japan.

Ancajas unification fight vs Ioka in Japan postponed to 2022 due to Omicron


Well, you guys might be right about that and Ancajas will struggle because of his situation at that time and might be defeated if in case his fight against Ioka were not postponed. Because of that, it'll be exciting to see them fight if Ancajas will succeed this time in grabbing the IBF back in his possession as Ioka is now holding the WBO belt.
He suffers from defeat with Martinez. I also believe that if that fight didn't postpone, he might lose with Ioka too; he need to prepare harder now to reclaim his belt then move and push that challenged against Ioka, that will be a much more interesting fight knowing that Ioka is really a hot fighter currently, he's on his prime right now and if in case Ancajas wins against Martinez, it would be nice to see him chasing against Ioka, they both can test each other inside the ring and see if who'll be the winner.

Let's wait for the outcome of these upcoming fights between Ancajas and Martinez, another entertaining rematch, since both will try to
beat one another and claim the title.

It is not surprising because when a boxer is replaced at the last moment, all the training and preparation of the other boxer is wasted.  They (Figueroa) prepare a strategy against Broner but instead got Lipinet at the last moment.  If you remember the last fight of Paquiao the same thing happen, his camp prepare for the fighter replaced by Ugas but got Ugas at the last minute so Pacquiao have trouble adjusting during the fight and lost.
No one expected indeed if Sergey Lipinets could win the fight, no better than from Broner made me doubt if Sergey Lipinets would be able to throw Omar to the floor, especially when I saw the boxing history of Sergey Lipinets who just lost to Jaron Ennis in 2021 but he was able to show great fight yesterday, what you said seems to be true, because while during Omar focused more on anticipating the fighting style and also the weaknesses of Broner, but in the end what he learned before the fight started was in vain after Broner retreated and I think every fighter has different fighting styles and weaknesses as well as Broner and Sergey Lipinets.

Yes, all that month of preparation and training while studying Broner's movements in the ring was all wasted because Broner suddenly backed out from the fight and Lipinets was inserted to be the boxer to fight against Omar. So of course, that became a huge factore why Omar defeated because he didn't expected that and he didn't manage to watch Lipinets clips. If only Broner did fight, I'm quite sure that Omar has won. What do you think?

Possible, but if I'm not mistaken, Broner is also the favorite on that fight per odds so it could be a good battle.

As for the Ancajas vs Ioka supposedly fight, yes it was postponed initial due to Japan's Covid-19 restrictions, similar to GGG vs Murata, but it was rescheduled later. As opposed to maybe the camp of Ancajas, wanted Jerwin  to fight so they move to the US to look for opponents. Unfortunately, all the plans back fire on MP promotions as replacement fighter beat Jerwin so bad

Right? That could be a good match to bet though because Broner favorite among sports bookies because I believe that Omar Figueroa has more chances of winning the fight than the Broner who fights like he is doing some exhibition fights. Anyway, haven't had the chance to follow this fight but it's good thing too because the fight between these two didn't happen because Broner withdrew and it was Lipinets who fought Omar.

That's the disadvantage of rushing things because having a replacement with only little time of preparation will indeed make you struggle and will just lower the chances of winning and then there's this weight issues of Ancajas that he had to solve. Bottomline, they should solve their own problems first before solving other problems.

And that is why Figueroa was really mad at Broner for pulling out at the last minutes because his preparations have been ruined. Anyhow, both Figueroa and Broner are past their primes to either way it's going to be a boring fight for boxing fans. This is Figueroa's last fight probably or if he continues to fight, he will be just the fighting for the money or just a stepping stone for young fighters. for Broner, not sure if he has contract or something with PBC or Showtime, but we might see the same, just 1 or 2 fights for him assuming he can get over his mental issues and then he is done with boxing.

That pretty much sucks for pulling out on a probable fight that could be lit, well Omar Figueroa Jr. is really pissed and frustrated right now after that much preparation, and surely he doesn't have much time and he wants to have a match with Broner very badly and he is asking for proof if Adrian Broner really has mental issues, because this is really upsetting for Omar Figueroa Jr. right now resulting to getting on social media to say what he wants,

Good thing though that GGG didn't got a back-up fighter that time because Murata had the similar situation to Ioka as they lived in the same country, anyway, I can say that GGG will still have a good shot if that happened but fortunately, it didn't.

The same situation with Ancajas because he originally prepared for a title defense fight against Kazuto Ioka but was replaced last minute by Fernando Martinez and Ancajas ultimately lost the title he held for quite a long time. These instances can't be predicted because the original boxer wanted to participate in the fight but an issue surfaced later on which resulted in a need for a substitute just like this time.

Even if there's no sudden replacement, Jerwin Ancajas might probably still lose that supposed original fight.

The reason is very clear and it was stated by his team. Ancajas is not in good shape because of his hard training to catch the required weight. That resulted in him not performing on his usual and Ioka might take that as an advantage.

As I read on some reports, that's the focus now of Ancajas camp as they are really preparing seriously to get a win on a rematch against Martinez.

It's all speculation though, so 50/50. But if you look at some fights that have their opponent replaced, there are fights that the replacement fighter won or not. Not sure what is the statistics though or if there is one in the internet.

Nevertheless for Jerwin and his camp, they should treat it as a learning experience, a learning curve that they need to overcome right now if Jerwin wanted to became a world champion again and chase more like Ioka in the future.

You're right, we can speculate all we want but that will still leaves us to the point where we can't know the answer because the fight didn't happen because of that Covid that's why Ioka had to give the spot for Martinez and ultimately, Ancajas lost the fight because of that sudden change.

Anyway, Jerwin already have some knowledge now how to counter Martinez's punches or even outmatch the latter. Let's just hope too that Jerwin wouldn't experience the same situation he was in on their first encounter because I heard that he was struggling to make the required weight.

https://www.boxingscene.com/figueroa-ive-doing-this-27-years-my-body-finally-said-enough--168526

At least he realizes that he can't pull the trigger anymore and that his body is telling him to not fight anymore. He just had a daughter born to that's good if he will just enjoy his life with his family and hopefully he had save enough money to live a good life. And he mentioned about his mental issues as well, (bipolar) and he was able to overcome it.

Well, his body is really giving up from all those damages he is getting from combat sports like boxing, I can not explain it but Omar Figueroa Jr. really has a plan before he retires and that plan was all in the drain, he can not do it anymore so I could not explain how mad, pissed off, and frustrated he is right now if you would go to his social media accounts you can all see the level of anger he has for Broner because he had planned for this, another win before he retired and for Broner saying he has mental issue for a cover-up that is a very cheap explanation in getting out of the fight,

It is not surprising because when a boxer is replaced at the last moment, all the training and preparation of the other boxer is wasted.  They (Figueroa) prepare a strategy against Broner but instead got Lipinet at the last moment.  If you remember the last fight of Paquiao the same thing happen, his camp prepare for the fighter replaced by Ugas but got Ugas at the last minute so Pacquiao have trouble adjusting during the fight and lost.
No one expected indeed if Sergey Lipinets could win the fight, no better than from Broner made me doubt if Sergey Lipinets would be able to throw Omar to the floor, especially when I saw the boxing history of Sergey Lipinets who just lost to Jaron Ennis in 2021 but he was able to show great fight yesterday, what you said seems to be true, because while during Omar focused more on anticipating the fighting style and also the weaknesses of Broner, but in the end what he learned before the fight started was in vain after Broner retreated and I think every fighter has different fighting styles and weaknesses as well as Broner and Sergey Lipinets.

Yes, all that month of preparation and training while studying Broner's movements in the ring was all wasted because Broner suddenly backed out from the fight and Lipinets was inserted to be the boxer to fight against Omar. So of course, that became a huge factore why Omar defeated because he didn't expected that and he didn't manage to watch Lipinets clips. If only Broner did fight, I'm quite sure that Omar has won. What do you think?

Possible, but if I'm not mistaken, Broner is also the favorite on that fight per odds so it could be a good battle.

As for the Ancajas vs Ioka supposedly fight, yes it was postponed initial due to Japan's Covid-19 restrictions, similar to GGG vs Murata, but it was rescheduled later. As opposed to maybe the camp of Ancajas, wanted Jerwin  to fight so they move to the US to look for opponents. Unfortunately, all the plans back fire on MP promotions as replacement fighter beat Jerwin so bad

Not sure though why Ioka backed out, does anybody here know why?

It's because the Ancajas-Ioka fight is set on Japan. During that time, the date of their fight was still under the Japan's extension of their Covid-19 protocol in sports. That's the reason why the delay happened. Instead of totally delaying it and Ancajas will not fight, Martinez replaced Ioka and the rest is now history. if Ancajas still eager to fight Ioka, he needs to win on this rematch and reclaim the title he is holding for long before he loss.

Still over a month to go, we should trust Ancajas learned many things on that loss against Martinez.
