Adrien Broner unleashed a profanity-filled tirade against his opponent in the ring and his doubters outside it, proving he remains one of boxing's biggest mouths.
What he is beyond that might depend on what happens Saturday.
Broner has another chance — maybe his last one — to demonstrate he's a worthy headliner capable of beating boxing's best. But he has to get by undefeated Mikey Garcia, who is moving up in weight for their 140-pound bout in Brooklyn.
"Let's see who's on the pound-for-pound list after Saturday night," Broner said.
He turns 28 Friday and said he's started thinking about life after boxing. But he can put that off by beating Garcia, which would give him plenty of options at either 140 or 147 pounds.
"This is definitely a crossing point for me and the next fight for me I can definitely do some pay-per-view," Broner said, "and I'll do numbers."
