    He knew that before when the fight got cancelled but he accepted money to fight on.

    If he was so concerned about it why did he just not fight?

    He knew how much heavier broner was, he wasn't contractually obliged to fight an overweight broner.

    If they threw that much money at him just imagine how much emotional pressure they would have exerted on him first.

    Emotional pressure? He's fought his entire life I doubt saying no would be that difficult.

    Truth is he saw the money and liked it and didn't care about broners weight, it was after the fight he decided it was unfair when he got busted up.

    Its one thing to be the bigger stronger guy and face off against a smaller opponent who's faster. But Broner was bigger, stronger and faster. That kind of advantage can work against you. Plus him having a newborn so many things can weigh on you

    Paydays aside, it's not ok that a fighter can just buy an advantage over an opponent. What's next? Amir khan paying every puncher he fights to wear 30 ounce gloves?

    I really think him thinking about his lil newborn was what really got him. Yeah he's been fighting his whole life but he's never fought right after having a child and still going through the whole reality of the situation. In the pre fight interview, he was saying that he still couldn't believe he was a father and was going through many emotions.

    It's not like some Kermit Cintron situation where after getting dropped, he just quit and walked over to his corner crying for straight up losing.

    5 lbs, which I think is about the amount Broner would have had regardless.

    Kellerman is a **** for the way he conducted his post-fight interview.

    I know he's a company man but there's no excuse for it

    He was outweighed by 5 pounds in the ring not 20 like some are making it out to be.
