Former four-division boxing champion Adrien Broner recently suffered an upsetting loss against Blair Cobbs. The 10-round bout took place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood. The fight was not what fans expected it to be. Broner gave a lackluster performance, while Cobbs was the busier guy landing more punches. Boxing pundits and fans are suggesting that Broner should hang his gloves now. 

Broner was strutting his way up in the world of boxing with back-to-back amazing performances. However, he fought boxing legend Manny Pacquiao in 2019 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Following that, he has been quite inactive in the sport. And with just 3 fights since 2019, his recent defeat has stirred up a conversation about his retirement. 

Amidst all this, former NFL star Antonio Brown took to X and took a jab at Adrien Broner trolling him for his loss. During the second round of the fight, Broner got knocked down by Cobbs. As a result, Broner’s mouthpiece fell out of his mouth, breaking his teeth in the course of it.

The former Steelers WR shared a picture of Broner’s knockdown, and compared to it Devin Haney’s knockdown fall from his fight with Ryan Garcia. Apparently, both Broner and Haney fell on the canvas in the same fashion. Brown shared both pictures and labeled them as “The Haney Pose”. Garcia handed Haney the first defeat of his career in April this year. Garcia has tested positive for a banned performance-enhancing drug. It begs the question of whether he should be considered the winner of his fight with Haney. It is still under investigation though. So, Garcia could be considered the winner till he has not been proven guilty.  

Brown has a history of making controversial statements. The NFL star had a successful career in the sport, but his antics outside the sport have landed him into trouble multiple times. There were complaints about his behavioral issues during his time at the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Interestingly, Brown had made a controversial remark about his former teammate Tom Brady which instantly caught the attention of people on the internet.

Amidst all this conversation about the pair’s divorce, Brown did something that disgusted fans. Apparently, Brown took to his Instagram and penned a book titled “Daddy Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”, and posted a picture of himself in bed with Gisele Bundchen. It was not Bundchen though, she was just a look-alike.

This instantly started taking turns on the internet and fans shared their disappointment that Brown could do such a thing with his ex-teammate and his ex-wife. Following that, Brady also branded him as “immature” and “selfish”. 

Brown admitted that what he did was “immature”, but still he was hesitant to apologize for his actions. He considered his actions as “human”, and not intentional. Meanwhile, what do you think about him trolling Adrien Broner and Haney? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
