Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner Facing a Robbery Charge in Ohio

[UTEP]

I found Broner tough to stomach before, but this here is just too much. At twenty years old you're plenty old enough to know not to snatch an old lady's purse. Then this POS compounds the offense by punching her in the face?

Wasn't too long after this when he started all his racist comments.

'old hands' lol

To be fair, it says he was part of a duo, it might not have been him who did the punching.

You are correct. But what reasonably decent individual would take part in the planning and execution of the robbery of an old woman?

I've thought before that this kid can build a career on having people watch just to see him get KTFO. Now I'm convinced.

Here's an excerpt from the UK newspaper "The Sun" (dated February 15, 2013):

Broner certainly has a colourful story. He first laced up at the age of seven and honed his craft in almost 300 amateur bouts.

However, his 2008 Olympic aspirations were scuppered when he spent a year on remand, accused of robbery and assault.

He was again arrested in 2010 for ‘purse snatching’ but those charges were dropped.
