Regis Prograis says he sees Adrien Broner beating journeyman Hank Lundy on February twenty fifth in his comeback on BLK Prime PPV.
As Prograis factors out, Broner hasn’t knocked out anyone in a protracted, very long time. Certainly, Broner’s final knockout got here seven years in the past, in 2016, when he stopped Ashley Theophane within the ninth spherical. It’s arduous to imagine {that a} fighter as fashionable as Broner hasn’t knocked out anyone in seven years and has appeared more and more worse with every combat.
WBC mild welterweight champion Prograis (28-1, 24 KOs) may defend in opposition to the 33-year-old Broner (34-4-1, 24 KOs) this yr if AB defeats Lundy (31-12-1, 14 KOs), which is not any positive factor given how dangerous the previous star has appeared over the past ten years.
Lundy has misplaced his final 4 fights, however he nonetheless has a decent work price, and that’s all it takes to defeat the shell of Broner these days. Though Broner is 33, he fights and appears a decade older, like a fighter of their early 40s, and that makes him weak even in opposition to the 39-year-old Lundy.
Broner vs. Lundy might be assembly in a ten spherical scheduled bout on BLK Prime PPV on the Gateway Middle in School Park, Georgia.
The choice to schedule the combat for ten rounds doubtless was accomplished by the administration of Broner’s, realizing that he gases out and falls aside within the later rounds.
In contrast to Broner, Lundy has stayed energetic within the final six years, which suggests he’s going to be in form and able to combat arduous for the complete ten rounds, and he may win a call if he dominates within the final quarter of the combat.
Will Hank Lundy get robbed?
After all, if we had the identical questionable scoring as we noticed in Broner’s fights in opposition to Jovanie Santiago, Jessie Vargas, Adrian Granados, Paulie Malignaggi, and Daniel Ponce de Leon, Lundy stands no probability of profitable a call, regardless of how effectively he performs.
Broner arguably ought to have misplaced these 5 fights, however the judges have been VERY type to him. With Lundy a journeyman with 12 defeats, you must think about that will probably be troublesome for him to win a call in opposition to the A-side Broner.
In case your Lundy, it will be a good suggestion to leap on Broner from the primary spherical and look to bury him beneath an avalanche of punches to make sure the judges can’t take the win away from him.

A choice to Adrien Broner. That’s how I really feel. If he knocks him out, extra energy to him. We’ll see what occurs.
“I give Broner that as a result of he’s been out of the ring for a very long time. I feel he deserves that; he deserves one thing like that with Ivan and Stuff. I don’t know what occurred. I ought to textual content him and ask him what’s occurring.
“I’ll in all probability go to the combat as a result of AB is entertaining. Struggle-wise, he’s not. No matter he says, individuals need to take heed to him and even me. I used to be on the press convention, and I took my digital camera out as a result of I knew he was going to say one thing loopy on a regular basis.
“If I’m not in camp, I’m going to go to the combat simply to look at it and be within the environment and atmosphere. I don’t count on an excessive amount of of the combat, although,” stated Prograis in regards to the Broner vs. Lundy.
“I’ve been to an AB combat already. I’ve solely been to at least one when he fought Mikey Garcia. It’s all the time totally different watching on TV and all the time totally different watching reside. It’s undoubtedly totally different.
