Adrien Broner vs. Khabib Allakhverdiev October 3rd, Vacant WBA 140lb Belt

Adrien Broner-Khabib Allakhverdiev Looms For WBA Belt - Boxing News

Fight will be at 140 and will be for the vacant WBA 'regular' belt at 140lbs. Garcia is super champ but he'll be vacating and title is vacant because Vargas gave it up to fight Bradley. Amazing Broner loses a fight and is immediately given an opportunity to be a 4 weight world champion. His career is looking very manufactured.

That's disappointing, I thought he was going to fight Provodnikov.

Two guys coming off of loses fighting for a "world title" haha, but hey that's boxing, right?

Can't argue when you see it happening.😡

Belt Rot. Not to be confused with Root Rot but guilty of the same effects from the same cause. Belt rot is a condition found in all boxing Organizations although much more common in the Wba and Wbc because of poor drainage. As the name states, the Belt begins to rot do to over watering ending in decay.

Adrien Broner vs who?????

I'm not one of those "glory days" fans, but it must have been nice back in the days when you had to win a bunch of fights in a row to get a shot at a title, when you had to actually fight at the weight division (and not a special catchweight) to win that division's belt, and when you actually had to fight and win a world title (and not have it "bestowed" on you when some other guy got stripped of it).

This is a good fight for me. Khabib was robbed against Vargas so should already be a world champ. This wont be easy for Broner and a loss here pretty much ends his career.

I bet Broner doesn't make weight. Or if he does make it it's due to training in a sauna for the last week before the fight. I'm going to pick him to lose anyway.

So they and the wba actually "requested" him ;D. This is simply trying to put the magic back in the hype hat and sell himself on "four division champ" rather than actually winning the big one :-X Its a hoodwink. Khabib is decent but will be very undersized and off long layoff. His TD against Guzman should be a KO..he beat him UP, and Vargas was very close..not a robbery.

If this guy has, or at least has a claim to have beaten Joan Guzman and Vargas, I don't see why this shouldn't be at least a good fight. Guy is also only 24 and a southpaw, he'll know this is a huge chance for him as well. If he has a career best camp for this one and Broner fights the way he has been, who knows?

Disappointed with Khabib's inactivity but I hope he can pull out the win. I'm sure everything will be stacked against him.

Broner will surely be the worst 4 weight "world" champ ever if he wins. Khabib for the vacant WBA lightwelter title. Both coming off a loss.

Superfeather - Vacant WBO title against Vicente Martin Rodriguez.
Lightweight - Antonio DeMarco for WBC title.
Welterweight - Paulie for WBA title.

On a side note - Guzman was well past his sell by date when he fought Khabib. And on another side note - Guzman in his pomp would have schooled Broner at any weight.

It's weird because broner was looked at by some as the next big thing in boxing. He was supposed to be the next superstar. Now he has embarrassed himself and doesn't want to talk to the media because his gimmick is pointless now.

yeah at the same time tho it was his gimmicks in front of the camera that have got him where he is

2 losers in their last fight now competing for a world title? What a joke.

Broner should never have gone up to welterweight and should have moved to this weight first.
