Adrien Broner and Shawn Porter both make weight



Adrien Broner and Shawn Porter both make weight


It turns out the weight issue for Broner was much ado about nothing.  There was all kinds of speculation coming in that Broner was around 155-160.  Turns out, as usual, most people didn't know what they were talking about.


Both fighters weighed in with no issues at the catch weight limit.

Adrien Broner 143.5 vs. Shawn Porter 144

As usual, Broner was hamming it up at the face off after they weighed in.  Jawing at Porter mercilessly.  Porter extended his hand to shake and Broner looked at him and just walked off without shaking.  


The other fighters weighed in as follows:

Errol Spence 149 vs. Phil Lo Greco 152
Terrell Gausha vs. Luis Grajeda
Robert Easter 135 vs. Miguel Mendoza 136.5
Michael Hunter 201 vs. Deon Elam 197
Kevin Newman 164 vs. Bobby McIntyre 163
Sanjarbek Rakhmanov 143 vs. Brett Simmons 146
