(Photo credit: Tom Casino/Showtime) By Dan Ambrose: If Adrien Broner (26-0, 22 KO’s) gets past WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7 KO’s) later tonight, he’ll have 15 days to make a decision about which of his titles – the WBC lightweight or WBA welterweight – to keep, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN.
If Broner loses to Malignaggi, then he’ll still have his WBC lightweight title to fall back on. A loss to Malignaggi would be a huge blow to Broner’s career no doubt and a clear sign that he doesn’t have what it takes to fight against welterweights.
