Told y'all this was coming. Even if it is for the regular belt, when the super champion vacates, the regular champion will be elevated to super champion so it's irrelevant.

All you guys yapping about Broner - who cares? At least we get to see some activity from Khabib unless he pulls out with an injury again. I'm just happy to see him back, and against a "name".

BoxingScene.com has been advised that a deal is close for former three division world champion Adrien Broner (30-2, 22KOs) to face former beltholder Khabib Allakhverdiev (19-1, 9KOs) for the vacant WBA 'regular' junior welterweight championship on October 3rd either in Las Vegas or Cincinnati. The televised outlet is unknown at the moment.

Gotten to the point whete the belts, esp WBA where there are 2-3 Champs pr weight class mean absolutely nothing. There's an interim champ yet they have a fight for the regular belt. What is the point of the interim belt then ? Absurd

Broner will be on top once again. True champions rise from tough times.

Brush be having me dying with his love of AB Alpha Bum Adrien Broner.

I thought the whole point of an interim champion is that they fill in for the regular if they're gone?

Fighting a guy who lost his last fight for a paper belt. Manufactured describes him best.

Is it a proper title shot though? the WBA regular isn't a real title, or is it the Super belt?

Man idk if many people are even keeping track these days who's a "real" real champion & who's the "fake" real champion which is what all this regular/super **** is at the end of the day cuz GGG (granted he does hold a "real" real one too), Daniel Jacobs, Erislandy Lara & Keith Thurman are holding "fake" real titles. Actually I think Thurman might have gotten a raise out the blue recently, but I think Mayweather might still be the Super Duper champion above him or some such nutty ****. But its all a cluster**** of bs & more bs title holders & contenders & every day the value of being a "champion" goes lower & lower.

[Greed.]

Decent fight. Expected an easier fight on similar level to Molina.

[Dean_Razorback]

lol. getting beat up gets you a title shot?

[R_Walken]

Makes Sense. You knew they were going try to get Broner a belt in a 4th division against the easiest name they could find.


Broner can hang with most of the 140s if he can control his weight but has shown he can't compete at 147 with the big dogs.
