Umm yeah, he cheated weight, and that would make him a weight cheat.

Just like if a fighter fails a drug test for steroids, he's a drug cheat and will be labeled one forever.

Personally I don't get why anyone wants to fight at 20 pounds lower than their walk around weight..ten would be healthier.

It's done like that so if/when you're unable to make weight anymore, you can move up to a more comfortable weight.

SMFH @ this BS, if you're under contract to make a certain weight, you handle your business. Not eat Twinkies & shyte & give BS excuses as to why you can't make weight. Act like the man you're supposed to be & fulfill your obligations.

I am more taken back by big guys like Garcia or Rios who can actually get down to 140 when they walk around at 165 or more.. As for Broner this should be routine, I don't see him making it pass 140 with his "0" intact..

broner walks around at like 155+ he said it himself. dude is huge. But he young and growing so he can get away with that type of stuff cause he young the weight can come off and on easy or easier then it is for most.

Agreed. We're going to know a whole lot more about Adrien Broner on Sunday morning than we do now.

I'm predicting a 1 sided ass whooping for Broner. Demarco got his ears boxed off by Linares only 1 fight prior. Easy money for Broner.

[ricky1978]

not a big fan of Broner, but I see him dominating big in this fight....

[Phantomas]

Broner is gonna fall in the "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" category, like Molina and Linarez lol.

a barely 5'7 (5'6 imo) Broner is not huge.. He's small..very small. He may think he's a middleweight or welterweight but he's fooling himself. The 5'7 Zab Judah also walks around at 155, would you consider him huge? He was beatin to a pulp by true welters, even 140lbers, hence he moved back down. Once most boxers start training heavily they come down to their natural weight. For Broner it's 135 140 range. Even Guerrero who just moved up was noticeably bigger than Broner when he stepped to him and even called him a midget lol.. Even Khan would beat Broner decisively should he move up..
