Broner, Granados Make Weight
An interesting wrinkle was added to Adrien Broner’s fight with Adrian Granados this week when Broner requested the fight be moved from 140 to 147 lbs. — and for a moment things got more interesting when Granados nearly missed the 147 lb. limit.
With the help of a new scale, he did make weight and the fight will go on as scheduled.

The fight will be Broner’s first since April of last year, and the controversial boxer will look to overshadow his troubling 2016 with an emphatic performance on Saturday night. He and Granados will fight in the main event at the Cintas Center in Cincinatti.
