"Three and a half pounds means a lot."
Great opening. And I loved the article. It's good to see a die hard fan who's been burned too many times to count still feel so much righteous indignation about something so basic. If I had one cliche in boxing to bitch about it would be: "The out of town guy had to score a KO in order to get a draw." It's basic and it's true and it's fucked. Fuck Broner for basking in the idea that he wasn't even going to pretend to make weight. |

I think this is the best thing I've read of yours Snoop. Seriously. Almost as cool as that photo you got with Alexis Arguello but not quite.

Man great piece Snoop! I share the same view of disgust towards Broner, although you made nice points to what this all really means..or doesn't!
Keep it up Snoop. Wouldn't hurt if you started posting more often again, too! |

Nice piece Snoop. Much like the choice presented to Escobedo, which as you pointed out was really no choice at all, this was presented to us the fans as a happy ending (fight went off as scheduled, Escobedo got paid) but really was no happy ending at all. This will end up as nothing more than a blip on Broner's career, when the reality is he blatantly disrespected another fighter's career and worse, his family.
