Count me in on Theophane. Broner is a whacko, hes liable to lose to anyone decent at anytime.
 
I don't think Theophane has much for Broner, he's pretty much a journeyman, albeit a pretty skilled and unorthodox one, Broner should handle him rather easily even with the beat a bowler situation he's dealing with. That said I can't knock a play on Theophane at 20-1 b/c he's a tough guy and he's always game and in shape. Probably will look to play a prop here, Dec line might be worth a stab but obviously depends on the price. Broner's a fucking idiot but he's still extremely talented, even if he isn't as good as a lot of us initially thought he was.
 
Theophane is bang average, not a puncher, 35 years old. If Broner makes weight, he wins.
 
I like Macklin +120 and Abraham +200 (185 now) as dogs in a couple weeks. Will give some more in depth analysis later on. No strong leans, not big plays, but those two have value imo.
 
Really don't like Macklin, have you seen his most recent fights? Prime Macklin fucks Rose up but I don't think he has much left.

Yeah he's definitely on the decline but I do think he's still about even with Rose at this point in their careers. Macklin's a much more skilled fighter and if he shows up and looks like half the fighter he was in his prime he should give Rose a lot of problems. I think this fight is probably a pk so I like Macklin as a dog, even if he's a bit washed I still think he can get the win here.

Like I said not a really strong lean but I made a play on him since he's a dog and he's got offense that could get to Rose's somewhat suspect chin whereas Rose isn't much of a puncher and Macklin's suspect chin won't be tested as much due to that fact. Rose definitely the fresher fighter so that's the most concerning b/c of Macklin's drop off in recent fights. Still like Macklin for a unit or 1.5u here but have to temper it to just that b/c of said concerns.
 
Broner went immediately to the towel and missed weight by .4 pounds on the first try. Has two hours to re-weigh or lose his belt on the scale.

 
Anything to ruffle his feathers. I will be singing for joy if theo comes thru as +2000 dog
 
Broner never bothered to try to weigh in again and was stripped of his WBA Super Lightweight belt. Hopefully he hasn't been training hard, is demoralized, physically depleted & is taking his opponent lightly and Theophane puts on the performance of his career tomorrow.
 
Massive value on Theo right now, grab that +2k if you can

+2000 is long gone, down to about +1200 now most everywhere except Pinnacle. Props to the BFO people for starting that boxing equivalent site recently, btw.
 
Ladbrokes have Theophane points +2000...although thinking about it, if I was being going to bet Theophane (which I won't), I would want to have Theophane by DQ as part of my bet.

haha me and my buddy at work who follows boxing were just talking about how Theophane by DQ is probably the best hope for this hitting. Need Broner to shoots some takedowns like he was doing last fight

I don't care how it happens- decision, TKO, or DQ by fouls or Broner rage quitting in the ring like Artem Levin.
 
I can kind of imagine Broner being ahead in the fight and just not answering the bell for no apparent reason. I mean, he just gave up his world-title rather than lose 0.4 pounds and reweighing. That's unheard of.
