Broner, 26, is still bent out of shape after being quite rightfully raked over the coals by Dan Rafael about him being allowed to fight for the vacant WBA “regular” 140lb title Against the 32-year-old #5 WBA Allakhverdiev rather than against #1 WBA Jose Benavidez (23-0, 16 KOs), who has been skipped over completely by the World Boxing Association for this fight.
