Wait, Broner vs. Theophane is still happening?

[jujigatame]

How is this possible considering Broner has a warrant out on him for assault and armed robbery?

Not that I'm gonna watch either way, it's a complete joke of a matchup. I'm just curious as to how they are planning on making it happen.

[jockpunk]

I am curious as well since the venue is about 200 yards from my house. I don't know if I would watch it on tv but if I can grab a ticket for $20 I would walk down and watch.

[jujigatame]

I guess he could fight if he were out on bail, but he hasn't turned himself in yet and the fight is 4 days away. It's a pretty bizarre situation.

[Badhusker]

I hope the little thug gets jail time. His rap sheet must be getting long by now.

Remember it is supposed to be happening on April Fool's day, so maybe they will let the fool fight.

[claudevsq]

Indeed. I mean, with press conferences and weigh-ins coming up, it shouldn't be too hard for police to find him... And Lucas Browne? Waiting for his B-sample... What a mess!

[SFW]

All that can easily get handled, delayed, the legal system is designed to be manipulated so it's not too suprising, let's just hope it fucks with AB's head and Smashley can find a way to dent his grill before he gets sent back to the clink. Harsh, yeah maybe.

Broner's first day in jail.

[greg]

Broner's first day in jail.

... proverbial "protect yourself at all times" might be more relevant than ever getting an entirely new meaning ...

[magwitch]

Maybe Broner liked Theopane's "Thug Life" tattoo so much he had his people get on the phone to him...

[punchoutsb]

No way this fight should happen. No way.

[Tommy Duran]

Adrien Broner vs. Ashley Theophane fighter media workouts were cancelled on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., due to the delayed arrival of flights out of Las Vegas. We’ve been told the remaining fight week activities will go on as scheduled, starting with today’s final press conference. It was also confirmed that Floyd Mayweather WILL attend the press conference, which will the first meeting between Broner and Mayweather since Broner’s wild rant against Floyd last week.

In other Broner news, according to the Washington Post there is no threat of D.C. police arresting Broner for an outstanding felony warrant issued in his home state of Ohio. So the Spike TV-televised bout looks to be a go.

[jujigatame]

So basically, the fight is happening because the DC police don't consider the warrant serious enough to arrest him and extradite him to Ohio? And he'll get arrested when he goes home after the fight? Crazy.

Broner is .4 lbs over and loses title on the scale.

4 pounds over !! lazy fcuker hope Theo smashes him

[crusader]

They can just line him up another paper belt and so he can shout about being a 5 time world champion.

[greg]

...my understanding is that he got 2 hours to fix it..

[gilgamesh]

Hopefully Theophane beats him.

0.4 pounds!!

[cletomex]

Broner didn't come back to the scale.

[BAD INTENTIONS]

I'm glad Broner just said fornicate it.

Less than half a pound is more about keeping a title than coming in overweight trying to get a size advantage.

[littlepug]

He's lost the title though ?
