He was possibly depleted and dehydrated with his muscles starting to lock up like what has happened to some MMA fighters after severe cuts and they just can't lose another ounce. In any case, it's good news for Theophane backers. Remains to be seen how he re-hydrates and recovers and how he looks in the ring tomorrow.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.
