Mikey Garcia: record, next fight and profile →
Broner-Garcia Weigh-In Photos Gallery - Adrien Broner has been on the other side of this matchup many times during his mercurial rise through the ranks of boxing. The 27-year-old Cincinnati, Ohio native won his first 27 professional bouts, picked up four world titles along the way, and established himself as one of the brashest, boldest and most marketable young fighters on the circuit.
Adrien Broner’s time in Colorado Springs was well spent. For the first time in three fights, Broner focused on training throughout camp and made weight with little difficulty Friday. The former four-division champion weighed in at 138¾ pounds Friday afternoon at the Brooklyn Marriott for his 12-round, 140-pound fight against Mikey Garcia on Saturday night at Barclays Center (Showtime).
NEW YORK – Adrien Broner senses the confidence the Garcia brothers have entering their fight Saturday night in Brooklyn has at least something to do with Marcos Maidana’s victory over Broner. Robert Garcia, the older brother and trainer of Mikey Garcia (36-0, 30 KOs), was Maidana’s trainer when the Argentine slugger dropped Broner twice and beat him by unanimous decision in their 12-round welterweight title fight. But Broner (33-2, 24 KOs, 1 NC) thinks they’ve made a huge mistake by basing anything about their 12-round, 140-pound showdown at Barclays Center on how Maidana beat Broner 3½ years ago in San Antonio.

NEW YORK – Adrien Broner was struggling Thursday to identify the best win on Mikey Garcia’s unblemished record. A reporter suggested Orlando Salido. “When he quit,” Broner said before their final press conference in Manhattan for their 12-round, 140-pound fight Saturday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. “Oh, that’s when he quit, and still won. I didn’t know you can do that. He quit.”

Mikey Garcia is certain Adrien Broner is making the same mistake that has cost most of his opponents. The undefeated WBC lightweight champion thinks Broner looks at him and sees a beatable boxer who has no business being about a 3-1 favorite over him. Garcia expects Broner’s opinion to completely change once the bell rings Saturday night to start their 12-round, 140-pound main event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
