It pains me to say this but if Broner misses weight against Maidana, these same faqqots would be crying for Broner to forfeit the whole fee. Again, people giving an opinion on a matter solely based on their like/dislike.
While I empathise with the idea that maybe Edwin just simply outgrew the weight - if he isn't punished accordingly, you're going to get more situations of fighters who "outgrew the weight" like Mikey Garcia against Juanma, Broner against Escobedo etc. And we'll keeping her sob stories about how they couldn't close their fist, they couldnt spit/piss etc. Which may well be true....but this simply isn't fair on the other fighter who did make weight.
I don't like boxers who put their lives on the lines getting penalty hits when they are already giving so much of their fees already. But I don't like the other fighter getting screwed either.
Andre Ward is not the problem here.
