Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner was at 139 Pounds With 7 Days to Go

[CHOWWOKKA]

thats his weight after a workout, he'll still come in at 145 on fight night

That's not always true.

I drink a lot of water during my lifts so I am always + 2-3 lbs after a workout.

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..

Whatever Broner is listed as, add like 3 inches
Alexander is listed as 5'8 and you could argue he is deeper in the pic but still.

Devon is the same height as Floyd 5'7 1/2. That picture you posted, when I first saw it I was taken back too, at first. I don't know If it was because Broner had on some kind of tall shoes or because Devon was slouching a bit but there is another photo of the two together talking while facing each other and Devon is clearly taller so that one pic doesn't tell the whole story, It should be in that same batch of photos wherever you found it..

Update: Didn't read you said I could argue Devon was deeper, I guess you realized that pic ain't what it looks like lol

Good, I really hope Broner avoids fighting off the back foot in this fight, if he does that easy victory.

One of the main reasons Broner fights off of his back foot is because he feels he can overpower his opponents, but that only works for so long as you move up in weight. It will be interesting to see how he reacts when he finally faces adversity.. will he fold under pressure or is he the real deal? Thats yet tbd..

Assuming his skills are on par, how high up in weight does anyone think he could go?

140. He probably suffers his first lost there.

Damn these silly pactarts angry that Broner didn't make weight and call him a "weight cheat" now.. lol I bet they don't even know Pac was overweight in a fight early in his career too...

According to their simple logic, I guess pac is a weight cheat too. lol

Khan beat Broner? Yeah, riiiiiiight. For the record, I can't stand both of them. Broner's too fast for Khan & will punch Khan's clock before Khan can even get to work.
