Is this the fight where Broner became a laughing stock on social media? His inability to accept losses truly shines.  


Well, I think Donaire can beat Inoue if he is still in his prime, but sadly his body can't catch up with his words since he already lost a lot of speed due to aging in their fight.  But as far as I know, Donaire has never been overconfident in his fight, to the point that he is slacking in training.  Having a self confidence is helpful in a boxer since he can think clearly and won't be intimidated by the opponent.

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,


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,

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.


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.

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.

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, 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,


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,

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.  

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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? 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.

Yes, I think AB was the favorite on the list of the sports bookies on that fight but I haven't had the time to look up that time because I wasn't interested at all on their match-up hehe. 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.

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.

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,


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,

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.

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.


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

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

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.
