By Scott Gilfoid: The talented WBO lightweight champion Adrien Broner (25-0, 21 KO’s) will be looking to build his star power on the Floyd Mayweather Jr. undercard on May 4th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 23-year-old Broner has already been winning many new converts lately with his impressive knockout wins over Jason Litzau, Vincente Martin Rodriguez, Eloy Perez, Vincente Escobedo, and Antonio DeMarco. Broner has knocked out his last five opponents and his last 15 of 16 opponents.
It’s been real impressive stuff from this young Mayweather-esque talent. However, Broner hasn’t been able to reach the huge numbers that he’d like to because his fights have been on regular HBO instead of PPV. Having Broner on the Mayweather card will mean millions of boxing fans will be tuning in to watch this fight due to Mayweather head-lining it, and the fans that don’t see it on PPV will catch it on the replay on regular HBO. This is Broner’s chance to really shine and win over a legion of loyal boxing fans.
By Scott Gilfoid: Frank Warren, the promoter for WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns (35-2, 10 KO’s), says he wants to match Burns against one of the other lightweight champions in 2013 after Burns gets past his January title defense against one of the challengers. Warren especially is interested in matching Burns against WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner.
By Chris Williams: Adrien Broner, the clone of Floyd Mayweather Jr., wasn’t surprised at watching replays of Manny Pacquiao get knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez recently. Broner notes that Pacquiao has never had any defense for a right hand and has spent his career getting hit with those kinds of punches. 
By Chris Williams: WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner, the good friend of unbeaten WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s), thinks whatever interest there was in a fight between Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, it died with Pacquiao’s 6th round knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez on December 8th of this month. Broner now sees it as a pointless fight because Pacquiao’s loss has killed the interest in that fight.
By Tom Drury: Boxing is back on the rise if the last few months are anything to go by. We’ve had great match ups and it seems 2013 will be following suit. Many young fighters are knocking on the door of stardom and 2013 will be the year. These young fighters will breakthrough into the big time which will be fantastic for fight fans across the world. Adrien “The Problem” Broner and Saul “El Canelo” Alvarez are the pick of the current prospects and young hungry fighters waiting for there chance in the limelight.
By Scott Gilfoid: Eddie Hearn, the promoter for contender Gavin Rees (37-1-1, 18 KO’s), has reportedly agreed to terms for a fight against WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner (25-0, 21 KO’s) on February 16th in Atlantic City, New Jersey. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBA World light welterweight and British and EBU lightweight champion Gavin Rees (37-1-1, 18 KO’s) has been selected by the promoters for WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner (25-0, 21 KO’s) to be his next opponent on February 16th at Atlantic City, New Jersey.
By Scott Gilfoid: WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner (25-0, 21 KO’s) is disappointed but not surprised that WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns (35-2, 10 KO’s) chose not to fight him on February 16th, as Broner thinks that Burns is just looking to make money from the sport and not fight the best guys.
By Scott Gilfoid: Golden Boy Promotions isn’t helping their young star WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner (25-0, 21 KO’s) by setting him up with sick mismatches like his scheduled February 16th mismatch against Britain’s Gavin Rees (37-1-1, 18 KO’s) at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Fights like this aren’t helping Broner become a bigger star nor is putting him with reluctant fighters like Ricky Burns, who the American boxing public has never heard aside from the hardcore fans.
The time is almost at hand. The veterans are winding down the grays are beginning to show. Let the torch passing ceremony begin. We have been dazzled for years by the likes of Floyd Mayweather Jr., Manny Pacquiao, Sugar Shane Mosley, Bernard Hopkins, Juan Manuel Marquez, Miguel Cotto & Sergio Martinez, just to name a few. We have watched them from their early days and we knew they had what it took to be at the pinnacle of the sport. Each of these men has had his day in the sun. Some are still enjoying unrivaled success in the ring at such a late stage in their careers.
