Blair Cobbs vs Adrien Broner Weigh In for Welterweight Fight

Blair Cobbs and Adrien Broner successfully weighed in for their upcoming welterweight fight set to take place on Friday in a Don King-promoted event on Triller TV PPV. Cobbs came in at 145.6 pounds while Broner weighed 146 pounds.

Cobbs, with a record of 16-1-1 and 10 knockouts, has the chance to hand the former four-division world champion Broner, with a record of 35-4-1 and 24 knockouts, his first career knockout loss. The fight will be held at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

Broner, at 34, has not had a strong performance in over ten years, with his last notable victory back in 2012. He is aiming to keep his hopes alive for a world title shot in the welterweight division. However, a potential matchup with Devin Haney at 147 pounds could also be appealing to him.

Trainer Stephen Edwards shared his perspective on the upcoming fight, emphasizing the importance of Broner being at his best to secure a victory. While acknowledging Broner’s experience and overall skill, Edwards highlighted Cobbs’ power and size advantage, suggesting that Cobbs is currently operating at a higher level than Broner.

If Cobbs can showcase the punching power Edwards described, Broner may face significant challenges during the fight. Broner’s weight loss during training camp could also pose additional difficulties when dealing with Cobbs’ attacks.

The matchup between Broner and Cobbs promises to be an intriguing battle, with both fighters looking to make their mark in the welterweight division. Fans can catch the action live on Triller PPV on Friday night.
