By Allan Fox: Bad luck seems to be following Adrien ‘The Problem’ Broner and his opponent for his next fight Omar Figueroa Jr. ahead of their scheduled April 21st fight on Showtime Boxing.

By Allan Fox: Omar Figueroa Jr. is looking good in training for his fight against Adrien ‘The Problem’ Broner on April 21. Figueroa is working on the heavy bag and concentrating on going to the body, which he’s expected to do against Broner all night long on April 21.
By Jeff Aranow: Adrien ‘The Problem’ Broner (33-3, 24 KOs) is working hard on trying to improve his low work rate for his April 21 fight against Omar Figueroa Jr. (27-0-1, 19 KOs) at a still to be determined venue. This a fight that Broner cannot afford to lose if he wants to remain one of the top fighters in boxing. It’s already clear that Broner is not going to be the next Floyd Mayweather Jr. as some people had thought he would be years ago. At this point, Broner is little more than a gate keeper.
By Jaime Ortega: While most people are stuck trying to push Keith Thurman vs Errol Spence Jr vs Terrence Crawford – I looking also forward to see all these championship fights – they’re other fights I believe would be even more epic and lesser known to the casual fan.
By Jaime Ortega: The welterweight Omar Figueroa Jr. who will be facing Adrien Broner April 21 said in an interview that he wants to fight Errol Spence Jr. on June of 2018.
Figueroa has called out Spence repetitively in the past weeks, and even said Spence needs “redemption” to avenge his loss during the 2007 golden gloves amateur competition where Figueroa stole his chance to qualify in the Olympics. Figueroa said he also “beat up Spence!” in quite a calm but arrogant manner.
By Jeff Aranow: Trainer Freddie Roach thinks Adrien ‘The Problem’ Broner (33-3, 24 KOs) has ruined his boxing career by failing to take it seriously by being dedicates, and he doubts whether the 28-year-old former 4-division world champion will be able to turn things around.
By Jaime Ortega: As the Premier Boxing Champions kicked yesterday in New York to showcase the next fights available for the year, a few details sparked my attention after all the boxers rounded up in their podiums as the fights were announced. Omar Figueroa walked right next to Errol Spence and Spence looked right at him, as Figueroa waited to face-off Adrien Broner. Then after his face-off Figueroa walked right next to Spence, and stand right next to him without saying a word. That scene captured the scene of the event among other curious moments.
By Allan Fox: Adrien ‘The Problem’ Broner (33-3, 24 KOs) says he’s going to get back to the fighter he once was and beat all the top fighters at 140 starting with Omar Figueroa Jr. (27-0-1, 19 KOs) on April 21.
