Adrien "The Problem" Broner (35-4-1, 24 KOs), the champ across four weight divisions, threw a verbal counterpunch regarding claims by Eric Gomez, the bigwig of Golden Boy Promotions, about ducking a scrap with Ryan "The Flash" Garcia (23-1, 19 KOs):
"Listen up, Golden Boy, this is news to me. The talk of dodging Garcia? First I've heard of it. Just to set the record straight – I'm ready to rumble. No warm-up is needed. Let Garcia get through his December dust-up, and then it's go time!
I'm the same guy who went toe-to-toe with Pacman. Do you think I'm scared of a rescue mission for Private Ryan? Quit the yapping. Slide me the contract!" Broner clapped back.
