WBA junior lightweight champion Adrien Broner, who is a dick, failed to make weight ahead of tomorrow’s title fight against Ashley Theophane, resulting in him being stripped of his belt.


The circumstances surrounding the failure of Broner, a dick, to make weight are bizarre. ESPN reports that he weighed in at 140.4 pounds, 0.4 pounds over the division limit. He had two hours to get down to weight. That’s a trivial task for any fighting sport athlete; these people can cut freakish amounts of weight in short time periods when necessary. But Broner, a dick, never returned to weigh in.

His trainer framed the issue as dickhead-ass Broner not wanting to “abuse his body” by losing a trivial amount of weight. (While weight-cutting as a practice is horrifying, this is weight that a pro fighter could reasonably be expected to lose over two hours with a hot shower and a vigorous head-shaking.) Via Boxing Junkie:



Theophane and Broner, a dick, will still fight tomorrow, with Theophane—a guy who was put into this fight in the expectation that Broner would effortlessly beat him up—able to claim the now-vacant junior welterweight belt if he wins. He’ll also get a portion of Broner’s purse (Boxing Junkie reports about $50,000) just for agreeing to fight the overweight Broner, who is a dick.
