Broner Misses Weight, Loses Title

http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/broner-loses-title-on-the-scale-331054

Broner really is a doughnut. He's given up a shedload of money as a result of this, he loses his title, he has potential legal issues, he constantly badmouths Floyd looking for attention - the guy is just a mess. I can't see him losing this weekend, but would LOVE to see Theophane beat him. He really is an out-and-out bully who can't take it when things go against him.

Is this fight on tv over here?
Gonna be a Theopane fanboy this weekend!

Just reading about this a few minutes ago. It doesn't happen these days but I always think that if you don't make weight, then the fight should be called off. Bad side to this is that the opponent doesn't get his deserved payday unless there's a compensation clause in the contract. Good side to cancelling the fight is that the fighter who doesn't make the weight doesn't still get a payday and doesn't get to feast on an opponent who dehydrated himself to make weight.

Despite the outrage that Broner's actions or lack of action in making the weight might get,  boxing fans are like children, they'll forget all this stuff if let's say he signs to fight Kell Brook in his next fight.

The fight is shown on spike tv over her 24 hours after

Not making weight isn't what bothered me most about this. That was kind of expected to be honest considering 1. It's Broner and 2. The issues he has been having this week.

The bit that bugged me was the complete disregard he showed. 7oz isn't a lot to lose given he could probably have lost half of it by shaving that beard of his off. No doubt he could of taken it off in about 1 hour. But to then walk straight off the scales and start gulping a drink just seemed disrespectful.

What a repulsive disgusting f*ck-knuckle waste of oxygen this miserly excuse for a human being is.

Still, I'm sure Truss will still come on to sing his praises about what a legend he must be as he was given titles at 3 different weights......etc etc.

He's the most unlikable boxer of my generation! The most ridiculous thing is he was only 0.4 ibs over at the first attempt and had an hour or so to lose that amount and didn't even attempt to try!

Just shows you how much value a word title has dropped in today's boxing scene. Wouldn't have happened in the days of a single belt.

I fully understand the process of cutting weight but he would of been able to do such a small amount, it's when they're 3-4 pounds over it is very tough in such short time but 0.4ibs is ridiculous.

Could easily sweat that out in a couple of hours. Broner's USP is beating down on over-matched smaller opponents though, so he'd clearly rather just stick with what he knows.....

With all the contrasting opinions in boxing, it appears the boxing world unites in our distaste for this moron!

Broner's problem.......Plenty of boxers have lost their titles on the scales......

Just because this guy has a big mouth he's getting it...

Useless crud like Rocky Fielding was how many pounds over.....Smith was how many pounds over....That's okay though..

I don't like Broner particularly.....

But just because he's American, succesful and people are jealous of him.....No need to single him out..

After all Britain is full of three weight champions......Give me an hour and I'll name one for you..

At least when Floyd was a knob you still had to respect his brilliance. I think what unites the hatred on Broner is his lack of brilliance which is completely juxtaposed with his ego and accomplishments.

Are you really defending that piece of sh1t??

True and the odd moments after fights, Floyd seemed half decent. Every time Broner opens his mouth, he needs hit with a hammer.

Yes, because he's American. Typically moronic jingoism - defend someone because you share one aspect, nationality, and chuck every other piece of sense out the window.

And, to save our slow friend an hour: Duke McKenzie. Triple weight world champion and just as mediocre as that prat Broner.

Broner is an idiot but he's an accomplished fighter....

Just because he is a loathsome toad...Shouldn't get in the way of that obvious truth..

Reiterate the fact that plenty of fighters have lost to the scales..

Joan Guzman, Paul Smith, Adrian Broner

All fighters who were rightly lambasted for failing to make weight at various times. Our criticism of Broner extends beyond his issues on the scales as it's his total lack of remorse that leads to the contempt for him. Mayweather did the same sort of thing against JMM by deciding he wasn't going to make weight limit he'd insisted upon and then throwing money at the problem by paying a $600k fine. A c*nt's trick of the highest order and had any other fighter done that, they'd have be rightly slated too.

Broner is an ar$ehole who just happens to be an American.

He is a decent fighter. He looked good in the lighter weights. The fact that he fought a couple weights lower in previous years, shows he should be a bit more dedicated to making weight.

I understand Men can fill out with age, but AB never strikes me as the most disciplined man at times. He often looks fleshy between fights. That never stopped Ricky Hatton making weight.

He wanted to run before he walked..

At this moment in time, most would be happy if Broner ran into heavy traffic or over the edge of a cliff

Can't say i'd miss him

Maybe if Broner gave running a shot he wouldn't be such a fat waste of space.

If he only said sorry..

Shame on him..

But you're right anyone who rips off the public against Wlad......Fights stiff after stiff........Makes disgraceful references about r**e deserves to be called an A-hole...

Wait a minute that is David Haye and you're his greatest fan !!

Another benificiary of day before weigh-ins. He looked a real prospect when beating up overmatched lightweights. Since stepping up to a more natural weight his limitations have been exposed.

He's never been a champion at any of the weights he's campaigned in (in terms of proving himself the best fighter at the weight). He's built an image and created enough noise to generate purses that various alphabet bodies quite fancies taking a piece of.

He'll beat Theophane, though (who's distinctly mediocre) and then probably go to jail.

He'll be begging for the dollar bills (he flushed down the toilet) back before he's through.

Yes! Good fighter, nothing special at all.

He's a champion at those weights.......end of...

Stop this lineal stuff....

Be interesting if GGG looks more than a prospect when he steps up...

Difference being that when Haye does continue to f*ck up by giving us piddle poor defences like the one coming up, I don't continue to blindly defend him and certainly not on the grounds that his country of origin is the reason everyone dislikes him. Think you'll also find that I'm as critical of Haye's upcoming fight as everyone else on here. Nice try but ultimately as much a failure as Broner's efforts to make weight

Broner is meant to be a less talented Mayweather. The fat wee c..t is more like a less talented Toney. KFC/McDonalds must love him.

Nice squirm...

Missing weights is one of the worst things I think you can do. It shows a massive lack of respect for your opponents, your fans and the sport in general. Don't care if your a Brit, Yank, or moonman. You should rightly be derided for it and it's nice to see most of the boxing world showing there disdain at Broner

Showing their disdain because it's Broner..

Boo hoo, because Broner's never done anything to incur the wrath of people has he? Come on man, this is just another in a long line of incidents...and let's not forget, at a time when it looks likely he could be charged with robbery, the arrogant c*ckend still doesn't give a f*ck about anything. What exactly IS there to like/admire about him?

I became a fan of Broner when he dissected a fairly good opponent in Demarco, but after that it all went down hill.

Quick hands and big power at the lower weights, but like everyone has said he's jumped into his natural weight class and no longer has that power, and without it he's a fairly basic fighter. Poor work rate, awful footwork, good movement at the waist, cracking counter right but he can be bullied by a lot of fighters

Now with the out the ring antics resulting in a prison sentence perhaps he's ruining his career even more before he made the big bucks he thought he was gonna get

Maidana knocked hin pillar to post, Porter beat him fiarly comfortably and he hasn't really looked yo test himself since which is probably good because he isn't getting better and has found his level just below world class, because let's be honest he isn't a bum as he has talent but not enough

Can't stand Broner personally ....But it's just a little amusing seeing an assassination from David Haye's chief apologist.

To be fair Haye is a classer act than Broner.

But you get the impression with haye that he's a showman

Broner is just a vile human and a brat

He's got a lot on his plate

only briefly though.

His whole career standing is based on basically that sole good win on his ledger.

If you can't stand him then why defend his actions using the "it's just you lot and your anti-American bias"?

If Haye had thrown change at a cashier or made remarks about another fighter's girlfriend (Paulie) or made ass f*cking motions behind another fighter (Maidana) or pistol whipped another man and stolen money from them or failed to make weight for a big fight for the SECOND time, you'd quite rightly be calling him your usual favourite insult namely, "he's a classless punk" so what is it about Broner that makes you think all these actions don't warrant the stick he's getting online? He may have won three titles at three different weights, he may pull gold nuggets out the end of his d!ck for all I know, but he's still c*nt and by trying to suggest the abuse he's getting is unwarranted just makes you look daft.

Anyway, hometime, have a good weekend all

It's worse than that Toppy and Dave, he's now in fact a four weight world champion who has one good win on his record.

Oh yeh, forgot he got fed another bum.

Funny how Truss sets the bar of 'journeyman' at Lucian Bute's level but then sings the praises/successes of Broner.

Not defending him.....Pointing out that when others don't make weight ie Salido they get a free ride...

The fact it's Broner and he has a big mouth counts against him...

You know it ...I know it........and being a Haye fan you look like you're a hypocrite....

Anyway it's fairplay ....people are entitled to disagree and it's all good fun..

Have a good weekend..

Haye's of arseholery is incomparable to Broner's.

As Dave said, classless punk is a perfect description. I can't think of a single decent thing you can say about him?

You can with good merit name 20+ world titlists over the past 20 years who you could call out about something but no one compares to Broner when you add all his antics up!

Nationality is nothing to do with it either. Any country would be be ashamed to have him as their own.

Is that what's known as damning haye with faint praise?

People are being harsh on boner. Remember when the kind hearted rsole gave a 1000 bucks to the homeless guy... What a gent.

Not his fault that when he put film of his good deed on Youtube, someone went out and beat the guy up and nicked the money. An unforseeable accident from a selfless act.

Cnut.

I'm not talking lineal. A champion is someone who's proven themselves the best at the weight.

Broner has held a few belts, which is no big thing in 2016. They're practically giving them away. Back in the day, it was always the IBF and WBO titles that were picked up by paper champs - back when they were lightly regarded (cue Larry Holmes rant). These days, anyone with a bit of money behind them (in a promotional sense) can win a belt.

Where is Broner actually ranked at 140? Bottom half of the top ten? He was chased out of 147 (and would be again). Terence Crawford would wipe the floor with him.

The lineal thing is a bit ridiculous in today's boxing scene. Broner is a legit 4 weight champ, regardless if some of the belts were won against lesser rankled people.

As Haz says, if you are a big name and favored by a one of the 'Big 4' you can win a belt without faces a top 5 opponent which is crazy i.e. Cotto winning the 154ib strap against Yuri Foreman and then defending against a very past his prime Mayorga.

I can't stand Broner but he is a 4 weight champ. People including me can be accused of jumping on the band wagon but you can only go with what you see and what is clear to see is a 24ct buffoon!

He'll be the best four weight world champion in San Quentin soon.

Apparently Broner looked awful. Called out Floyd haha. So set up for Floyd to come back for easy number 50. The problem is (pun not intended) who would pay to watch such a one sided fight?

The fact Broner has won multiple titles, tells us more about how bad the sport is now, rather Than his ability as a fighter.

Ha ha Rowley. AB will stand for Assaulted Backside!

Only saw the end and whilst Theophane was hit low, he was being dominated up to that point. Theophane is pretty average at best and Broner was probably not motivated so hard to use the fight as a measuring stick for Broner.

Whilst I would love to see Mayweather put on a clinic against Broner although wouldn't get excited for it.

Broner is a moron, its not because he is from the USA, i hope he gets sent to prison(doubt he will)
