    There is NO WAY Mikey can get back down to 135 without being drained.

    Broner was slightly taller, but that's about it. Mikey was thicker, stronger. Wouldn't be shocked if Mikey actually weighed more.

    The Seen has a massive gallery.

    Watch the highlight clips. Mikey's thicker all around. Legs, too.

    I think he was also but I am not taking nothing away from his skills and his magnificent performance. He shut Broner down.

    I think Mikey has more body fat on him. He is not ripped like Adrian. To get to 140 he has to ether put on more muscle or fat.

    Mikey packed weight for this fight but Broner is naturally bigger in frame.
    It's like saying a 6'6 180lb bean pole is smaller than Garcia.

    Broner doesn't look as healthy as he once did just recently. Seems low on energy in the ring as well as compared to his other fights where his punch output was far greater. Should get a medical examination covering all bases to make sure nothing serious is sapping his strength. As for bigger, no, they seemed approx. even in size. IMHO

    If that's the cause for that sickly appearance then the wise thing to do would be to retire. Reminds me of the film Requiem for a Heavyweight starring Anthony Quin where the protagonist, Mountain Montana is portrayed as a physically-damaged fighter. Once it's beaten out of you never get it back as the saying goes. That's one reason why Mayweather Jr has lasted so long-he avoids taking too much physical punishment. Unfortunately for Broner he could not duplicate that style. In fact, he never came near except occasionally when he totally outclassed or outsized his opposition. Another fighter who has become shopworn, as you say, is Packman. Yet another who had it beaten out of him is Meldrick Taylor.
