Broner misses weight in Morning after weigh-in but fight with Escobedo to go on
According to Dan Rafael of espn.com., former WBO Jr. Lightweight champion Adrien Broner missed weight for a second consecutive day but his fight with Vicente Escobedo will go on after the two sides reached a financial agreement.
“The fight is happening, and we’re on,” Golden Boy spokesperson Monica Sears said. “I don’t have any other information.”
Escobedo’s team demanded a Saturday morning weigh-in, and manager Rolando Arellano insisted that Broner come to the 9:30 a.m. ET weight check no more than 10 pounds above the contract weight, meaning 140 pounds.
However, Broner weighed 143.2 pounds, with his camp insisting he was within the 10-pound limit of the 133.5 pounds he weighed in at Friday.
