The pair of former champs collide in the Showtime-televised main event Saturday evening at U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Adrien Broner reiterated during an interview that’ll air before his fight Saturday night on Showtime that his loss to Shawn Porter was more about what he did wrong than what Porter did right. “Anybody can watch that fight and just look like, you know, that wasn’t the full Adrien Broner,” Broner told Showtime’s Mark Kriegel. “And me, personally, I know that. I really don’t want to get into what I really feel because only I know that I beat myself that night. And I can assure you it won’t happen again.”
