U.S. Bank Arena / Cincinnati, OH

vs.

Vicente Escobedo
(26-3-0, 15 KOs)

 
WBO Super Featherweight titlist Adrien Broner has quickly become one of the most talked about fighters in boxing. After destroying Vicente Rodriguez in 3 rounds to capture the WBO Super Featherweight title, Broner staged his initial title defense against undefeated top contender Eloy Perez where Broner dominated every second of every round.

2004 U.S. Olympian and current top Super Featherweight contender Vicente Escobedo is in the midst of the hottest stretch of his professional career. He is 4-0 since his decision loss to Guerrero, including wins over former world title challengers Walter Estrada and Rocky Juarez as well as an explosive 1st round knockout of then streaking prospect Lonnie Smith in March '12. Possessing a wealth of experience, Escobedo promises to be the toughest test of Broner's career.

HBO retains worldwide rights to this event excluding: the Philippines, Brazil, UK, Scandinavia, Japan, Thailand, and non-exclusive in Mexico, Argentina and Panama.
