Adrien Broner will face Gary Sykes of England in order to defend his second junior lightweight title. The match will take place a Mandalay Bay at Las Vegas as told by Richard Schaefer the CEO of Golden boy promotion. The match will be telecasted on HBO.
The world championship boxing will be opened by this match. Broner was fixed for the match scheduled on 19th of May after his victory over the opponent Eloy Parez in which he drilled him in the fourth round of his title of the month. Finding an opponent of 130 pound weight category was a very difficult job.
“It does not matter who is my opponent, I will take down each and every one who will stand against me. Also I will make it look very easy” said Broner. He also added that he was the missing sensation in the field of boxing.
Sykes and Monty Meza Clay was the chosen opponent by HBO in which the preferred option was Sykes. Schaefer proclaimed that there was some issue with the work visa permit of Sykes but at the end he said that would not be a big problem.
“The confirmation of the fight has been done already and we are all set for it” said Schaefer. Again Schaefer said that the visa authorities are working very hard on getting the visa done within 15 days. He also said that this situation is also under the observation of the HBO authorities.
In front of 22 year old Borner’s quickness slickness and power Sykes seemed to be an underdog. Sykes lost to Gary Buckland and is untested against a good strong opponent. He won three bouts at a stretch before losing the match against Buckland.
“Adrien is brought back from the Feb Fight and regarding the opponent we have narrowed our decision to Sykes” said Schaefer. He added that finding and opponent is a very hectic job as the 130 pound weight category is not at all a very deep category.
Also, no one is interested in playing against Adrien because of his skills and power. Other players who were there topmost players in this category have gone up with their weights in the higher weight category.
Schaefer said, “If Adrien win the match against Sykes then he will be playing against Vicente Escobedo in his hometown”. He added there is no rush for him in changing his weight category as he is performing pretty well in this category which lacks the presence of big names.

Paris St German went to the rampage but amazingly Nene had already scored twice more than him. The match was being played against Sochaux and a score of 6-1 helped to close the gap in the league 1 leaded by Montpellier who was ahead by two points.
The capital club was then set in the right track within the first four minutes by Javier Pastore. But Modibo Maiga had already made it to a position that had put them both in the same level, none was ahead of the other and that was being done with in only the next eight minutes. This is surely one of the most famous games that one would ever witness on the French League.
Sochaux was in the second position from the bottom but still only a few points away from safety. That had really been a matter of concern!
However Lyon was already moved back in the fourth position as surprisingly but true their score with in the last 15mins has rose to twice from 2-0 to 3-2. These sudden changes were great to notice how they had created strong impressions.
But, suddenly Loriet had put Stade de Garelandin into a state of shock and silence! They had given two goals with in the very first five minutes of the first half, truly amazing! And we should not forget it was only Kevin Monnet-Paquet and Mathias Autret who had put everything in control and made such a huge change that was worth notifying.
Lyon was then brought back by Cris. It was just seven minutes before half-time when he was brought back as Lisandro Lopez had already matched up with them in the 77th minute. However Bafetimbi Gomiz was declared a winner before six minutes from the time of ending.
Sadly! Ajjacio was been moved out of the relegation zone but with nothing and just a draw, 0-0. So he had one way that was to be back at home to Nancy.
The hosts are also a part of the match so certain things with them really matters and so I must mention that the situation could have been much better for the hosts, if they had not been denied by the crossbar at the end of the first half. But at the end it had to be changed and they hanged out as they moved clearing points out of the bottom. They had been in the third place from the bottom.

Arsene Wenger recently makes an announcement stating that jack Wilshere holds a fair chance of qualifying for the finals of the Euro 2012 competition. Arsene Wenger made clear indications stating that Jack Wilshere is on the verge of making a comeback and has started his resume sessions as well. The Arsenal boss made clear indications that there was every chance for the player to resume his international play at the end of the current season.
This comes as welcome news as it places jack Wilshere in prime contention for the concerned individual who becomes the manager of the European championship. Gunners are the firm favorites to secure the fourth place after their fantastic win at Liverpool. After securing a win at Liverpool, Wenger made a recent statement that jack is still not ready to make a perfect comeback.
Result of the last scan was positive and hence there is every chance for him to make a come back soon. He also stated that it was necessary to remain extremely cautious with the comeback schedule as well. Wenger mentioned that he was more than sure to have him back before the completion of the season but it was necessary to take one-step at a particular time.
The recovery news of Arsene Wenger was a great relief to Arsenal team. It was a disheartening sign that as many as three players picked up similar problems at Anfield. It was a disheartening fact that within just twenty-five minutes, Abou Diaby suffered a hamstring injury and hence remained sidelined for yet another long time as well.
Yossi Benayoun suffered a similar injury though less serious and hence remained sidelined with injury for a long period as well. Kieran Gibbs suffers from a similar injury problem and there is huge possibility that Kieran Gibbs will miss the Champions League competition too. Mikel Arteta suffered an accidental clash with another player Jordan Henderson and suffered from concussion as well.
There is little chance of Wenger resting strike player Robin Van Persie, as it is necessary to produce a miracle experience to overturn the deficit of four goals. Wenger has made it clear that the red-hot form of Robin Van Persie will play a significant role in helping his team to secure a win. Wenger made it clear that the goal of the team was to make the impossible possible and that remains the main target of the team.
