Comments Thread For: Weights: Adrien Broner 138.5, Allakhverdiev 139

Who Broner? Absolutley. I bet he is at least 155 in the ring tomorrow night while Khabib might be 148-150.

Broner is too stationary and unsure of his identity to be effective if Khabib can stay behind the jab and catch Broner when he tries that shoulder roll because of Khabib's southpaw stance. Maidana dented him and Porter broke him but I think the judges will save the day for him in a controversial decision.

The precedent for ripping Khabib off was set in the Vargas fight so I won't be surprised if it looks like he "should" win this fight when the final bell rings only to lose a UD or something. The punch stats will likely be more in favor of Khabib with people wondering how did Broner get the nod?

How did Vargas ripped Khabib off? I thought that fight was a big robbery. Khabib totally dominated the second half of the fght and the first half was quite even.

How can you still say he's picking on smaller fighters when he weighed less than khabib postol and Lucas like I said he clearly wasn't a real ww. He's not even drained he's just in good shape

He skipped a weight class but yet he's too big for that weigh class some how... Logic

Weigh-in weights don't often tell the full story. We just don't know what fighters do to make that weight. On the face of it, you'd think that Broner easily makes 140, probably walks around not much higher (before he eats tonnes). But I bet he has drained himself a lot to make that. He has struggled to make 140 in the past. Floyd weighed 146 for the Pacquiao fight, but we now know he was on an IV to make that, hopefully. Fight night weights paint a much clearer picture. That said, I don't agree that he's beating on smaller fighters at 140, they are all pretty big at the top.

I think he's the same size as Manny, with his optimal weight being around 144. They both could probably fight at 140 if they drained down for it.

Broner towers most at weigh ins, he has a huge upper body and stick thin legs. His weight is all in his upper body.

Khabib is no joke, I think he wins this fight just not sure he gets the nod but make no mistake about it this is no easy fight for Broner. Khabib is a good fighter.
