In a thrilling match last night at The Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, Blair Cobbs secured a significant win against the once-prominent Adrien Broner. The ten-round fight was undeniably entertaining, with Cobbs ultimately claiming a well-deserved unanimous decision victory. The judges’ scores were fairly close, with two cards reading 96-93 in favor of Cobbs, and the third judge scoring it wider at 97-91. Cobbs’ record now stands at 17-1-1(10), while Broner, a four-weight champion whose career was once filled with potential, falls to 35-5-1(24). Notably, Broner, also known as “The Problem,” had never been stopped in a fight until his encounter with Cobbs. The bout featured a dramatic buildup, with Broner resorting to trash-talking, threats, and insults. Nevertheless, Cobbs proved to be the superior and more disciplined fighter, even managing to drop Broner and knock out a tooth in round two.
Michael Hunter Claims WBA Heavyweight Title
On the same card, Michael Hunter emerged victorious in a lackluster match against Cassius Chaney, securing a spurious version of the WBA heavyweight title. The fight, which lasted ten rounds, saw Hunter dominating Chaney and ultimately receiving unanimous scores of 100-90 from all judges. Despite the one-sided nature of the bout, Hunter’s performance raises questions about his potential to become a major player in the heavyweight division at this stage of his professional career. With a notable victory over Martin Bakole under his belt, Hunter’s future matchups, including a scheduled fight against Jared Anderson, hold significant promise.
