Broner vs Cobbs: Headlining a Don King Card!

The return of “The Problem” Adrien Broner (35-4-1, 24KOs) on Friday, June 7th as he takes on Blair “The Flair” Cobbs (16-1-1, 10KOs) in a welterweight 10 round showdown. The fight is a Don King promoted event and will take place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The consensus on social media is that the majority of fans feel Cobbs could be Broner. Cobbs is electrifying in the ring, a real showman who brings a good show. Cobbs was stopped by Alexis Rocha back in March of 2022 in the eighth round. Cobbs followed up that fight in August of 2022 when he fought Maurice Hooker to win by unanimous decision, dropping Hooker once in the first round and twice in the second.

Adrien Broner really was a “Problem” at 130 lbs. Fast hands and great defense made Broner tough for anyone. As Broner moved up though we saw him become less active, lower punch outputs and ended up beating himself in the ring. Broner’s defense was still good, and he lost fights where he wouldn’t even be hurt but since the other fighters threw more, they looked busier, and won on points. Broner has held multiple world titles in four weight classes including the WBO super featherweight title, WBC lightweight title, WBA welterweight and WBA light welterweight title. Broner also has notable wins against Ashley Theophane, Adrian Granados, Jessie Vargas, Emanuel Taylor, Paulie Malignaggi and John Molina Jr. Broner has also shared the ring with Manny Pacquiao, Marcos Maidana, Shawn Porter and Mikey Garcia.

This fight could be a 50/50 fight, Cobbs has a lot to gain with a win. Broner would be a great win on Cobbs’ record. Cobbs will definitely be putting everything on the line for this fight. That being said, Broner is still Broner. Broner has a lot of experience and talent. If Broner can be like the old 130lb Broner, he can make lightwork of Cobbs. Broner needs to increase his punch output and really make a statement. Broner has been training hard even joining Tank Davis in camp getting into amazing shape.

One thing is for sure sparks will fly when these two get in the ring. They will be taunting and showboating leading to an entertaining fight so tune in and don’t miss out!
