Former four-division world champion Adrien “The Problem” Broner (35-4-1, 24 KOs) and fan-favorite Blair “The Flair” Cobbs (16-1-1, 10 KOs) faced off at the final press conference for their WBC People’s Championship main event on Friday night at the Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida,
Adrien Broner: “I want to thank everyone for showing up. I apologize for being late. I want to tell you guys what I tell everyone else. You can’t fight for me. You guys aren’t going to lose this weight for me. And you guys sure aren’t going to run your mouth for me. So, I am not going to stop doing what I am doing just to please you. You aren’t going to put food on my plate or no money in my pocket. I had to handle business. I had to get my work done before I came here to talk shit…I am here to put my life on the line. On June 7 I am not coming to just put on a show for the fans. I am coming to die if I have to.”
Blair Cobbs: “Thank you, everybody, for showing up to this one. This one is going to be a very big attraction. Just in case you don’t know who I am, it’s the most exciting man in boxing, Blair “The Flair” Cobbs. The limousine-riding, the jet-flying, the kiss-stealing, wheeling, dealing son-of-a-gun. I’m having a hard time keeping these alligator boots down. We’re going to have a great time. I just cannot wait to get my hands on Adrien Broner. Look, he had a good run, but now it’s time for his demise.”
I won’t be surprised to learn that Broner is teaching Don King how to smoke weed.
Cobb probably outworks Broner in this one. Broner gun shy as of late.
Broner will school Cobbs and it won’t go the distance ,,that’s if he is in the right frame of mind of course.
Does he even have a right frame of mind?
– Broner is one of the most class-less fighters in Boxing.
– I remember, after he beat Malignaggi for a title, he told Jim Grey that he “took his belt and his girl tonight”.
– What a piece of sh%t………
That was many years ago. Broner and Paulie are actually friends now. I think Adrien is a different person today, as far as I know.
“Class-less” or “piece of sh%t” is a matter of opinion which means nothing. The only things that matters are facts. The fact is he’s a 4 division world champ which is no easy feat.
““Class-less” or “piece of sh%t” is a matter of opinion which means nothing.”
– It is a fact that Broner is a class-less piece of sh%t.
– It’s OK to admit it.
– Take care.
– Gary G.
But its okay to “admit” his achievements. Its a fact he’s a former 4 division world champion which is devoid of meaningless emotional rants about someone you don’t know personally.
Ok, little fawn, he is a four division champ of limited opposition and everytime he stepped up, he got squished like the classless piece of shite that he is. You happy?
I’m living in your head rent free. Get off my jock, dude.
Just responding to your pathetic drivel that you and your other demented race baiters on here subscribe too. Little fawn. Plus, you know it’s true, broner is a side show and needs to get his own circus act.
It’s time for Broner to disappear. Just like Wilder last weekend, if Broner loses this fight, he should retire. Maidana and Porter took all the fight out of him. As I’ve said many times, he’s gun-shy and avoids “mixing em up” with any of his opponent/s. Why Don King took this guy on is beyond me. I suspect that Broner will lose. If he wins, he’s got to win big..
As Broner stated, this is how he feeds his family so why should he “retire?” Just don’t watch him if you’re not a fan. Don King too Broner on because he knew Jonn E JaGozza would hater on him. Haters are fans. He still gets buzz like him or not.
blair, do the boxing world a favor and get rid of broner. broner is just milking his name these last few years.
” The limousine-riding, the jet-flying, the kiss-stealing, wheeling, dealing son-of-a-gun.” Cobb is stealing Rick Flair’s gimmick verbatim. I think he should have been a pro-wrestler instead of a boxer. Wrestler in 2024 are about his size. Its all good, Rick Flair stole The Nature Boy Buddy Roger’s name and gimmick. This is Cobbs biggest stage and will have a fresh set of eyes on him. If he doesn’t bring it for this fight all of his grandiose talk means nothing and his fan base won’t grow. Broner is cemented as a 4 division world champ, this fight does nothing for him. If he wins he’s suppose to and if he loses we all knew he’s reduced to a talker who can no longer deliver the goods.
Well he does walk to the ring to Shawn Michaels song.
8-3-1 (2 KOs), in past 10 years (since Maidana loss).
Won vacant WBA 140 lbs belt vs Khabib Allakhverdiev (2015). Khabib had not fought in 1.5 years before that fight.
Broner missed weight by 0.5 lbs vs Theophane (probably his best win in past 8 years, and Jesse Vargas draw was an ok fight).
Lost WBC Diamond title fight vs Mikey Garcia.
Lost WBA title fight vs Pacquiao.
So Broner goes 12 rounds seven times in past 10 years (3-3-1 in this fights), he’s made $,
but don’t act like he’s won that many legit belts in past decade, don’t act like he is a very top fighter from ages of 25 to 35.
If he would have beat at least 1 of these 3 (Porter, Mikey Garcia, Pacquiao (age 40)) people could brag a little bit more about stuff he did 2013 and prior (for a fight in 2024).
Never seen or heard of Blair but Broner is just a stepping stone gate keeper at this point in his career.
It was nauseating to see and listen to these 2. Now King is scraping the bottom of the pot, he also has lost what ever it was that he had, all that is left is a fragile old man that should be relaxing at home with his grands.
Hawn Jay, don’t pay KIlla “K” King no mind, he’s obsessed with Alpha Black males that trigger his cognitive dissonance, and gets excited when we post. He probably watches that Vin Rhames seen in Pulp Fiction constantly. And for some reason, he thinks we are all liberals. I know, it’s eerie, but sociopathic and psychotic behavior is a real issue. Fortunately, for the sake of humankind, nature will ultimately take its course.
Alpha black males more like race baiting,ignorant, clueless, wannabe al sharptons. How long did it take for you to write that blather? My guess you asked AI to do it. You know demented and disturbed DMV, I’ve exposed you several times on this site to the point where you have even stopped posting. You of all people are more racist than most white supremacists, but in these times your garbage is not only accepted, but celebrated. Instead of being a stand up person with their own mind you follow your ignorance, lies, half truths, and yes, liberal propaganda. Yes, it is eerie that someone like you can post your racist garbage and others like you including little fawn and one brick city can repeat it. The same way if someone on here could like a fighter not because the way he fights, but what color is his skin. I also like that veiled underlying foreshadowing that nature takes it’s course, bravo; however, statistics show that I’m more likely to survive longer than you based on multiple factors so, if humankind takes its course, looks like you will be first, brother! I wonder why that is, Mr. Alpha? I’m sure you have to get back to warping more young minds with insecure thoughts of get whitey and stick it to the man disorder.
Guys…. keep it about boxing…with all due respect…try not to dilute this site and our time with utter nonsense….
Sorry, Sean, but it’s not nonsense. If you read some of these guy’s posts they do not represent boxing. They represent hate. They exploit the double standard that it’s ok to be racist as long as it’s towards one race. If I were to say a smidgen of what these three bozos say, I would be ostracized from this site. I represent human beings, but I am also proud of who I am just as you. As they say, turning a blind eye is just like saying it’s okay. Could I ignore it, of course, but I choose to address it. If you or them, or anyone else do not like it then read and down vote it or don’t read at all. Appreciate the attempt at restoring peace. Broner loses this fight and my biggest question. Does he make weight? I don’t think so.
Problem is Killa King….this is a boxing site…not that I chose to read race baiters….it is part of a chain of responses …that are not flagged for being unrelated to boxing…just like you choose to address race baiters… irrespective of color…I have a right also not to have it forced upon me by either side…this is a boxing site!!!!! Boxing knowledge and articulation are what most come here for…idiots and time consumers come here for engagement in idiodicy and otherwise…I therefore cannot engage in something that I am not….
Cobb via decision, Cobb is an energetic fighter that comes to fight, high volume puncher with strong whiskers.
Agree Roland….though an in shape and focused Broner would destroy Cobb…but we have not seen that Broner in years…..
Not sure how this fight will turn out. I have never been a fan of Broner. Not sure how well he is prepared to fight, what his conditioning is, what his focus is like, and how motivated is he to win. Hopefully, he trained hard, is focused, and motivated to win, but we won’t know until the bell rings.
Cobbs sounds pure cringe. “Just in case you don’t know who I am, it’s the most exciting man in boxing, Blair “The Flair” Cobbs. The limousine-riding, the jet-flying, the kiss-stealing, wheeling, dealing son-of-a-gun…” – Unreal. He sounds so ridiculous that I find myself doing what was once unthinkable: rooting for Broner to win.
