Weights for Friday's April 1st fight at the DC Armory between Adrien Broner and Ashley 'Treasure' Theophane are in. Theophane weighed in at a solid 140 lbs. His opponent, Adrien 'The Problem' Broner, not so much. Hiding behind a towel Broner stripped down to his bare self - hoping to make weight. Broner stepped on the scales weighing in at 140.4 lbs.

The weigh-in was moved from the initial venue at the National Harbor to the Bald Eagle Recreation Center in S.W., D.C. Fights that are scheduled to take place in D.C. cannot have weigh-ins in the state of Maryland, we're told.
Regarding Broner's legal matter, we're told that Broner's legal team is handling the issue and that Friday's fight will take place.
Said Broner Wednesday in the last press conference before Friday's anticipated matchup, "Anything is tough when you have a lot of things coming your way. I have tunnel vision. It's fight time. I'm locked-in until I get the job done."
Good luck to all the fighters. We see the hard work you put in.
