Adrien Broner shares his battle scars after defeat and missing teeth

Adrien Broner shared his battle scars on Instagram today, revealing his missing teeth while at the dentist following his loss to Blair Cobbs last Friday night.

Broner (35-5-1, 24 KOs), 34, had some of his upper front teeth knocked out in the second round of the contest when Cobbs (17-1-1, 10 KOs) hit him with a left . hand that put him on deck in the second round. It could have been worse.

At least AB wasn't eliminated by Cobbs because he could have been with the way he got pummeled throughout the ten rounds of the contest.

– Mikey Garcia: 2017
–Shawn Porter: 2015
–Marcos Maidana: 2013

Broner had been careless, leaving an opening for southpaw Cobbs to hit him with a left hand straight into the pipe. It was to Broner's credit that he was able to recover from the knockdown to get out of the round and go all ten points to finish the fight.

Cobbs dominated the welterweight bout at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. The scores were 97-91, 96-93, 96-93.

Financial Considerations and Future Paydays

Many fans considered former four-division world champion Broner's loss to be the end of his career, but that may not be the case.

With Broner's popularity, he can still continue to fight, but it will be important for his promoters to do a better job of selecting his opponents. Cobb, 34, is a marginal fighter but a little too good in what's left of Broner.

Broner would obviously listen to fans on social media and retire if he could afford it financially, but he has yet to make enough money to walk away from the game.

AB needs a nice salary against a star like Ryan Garcia or Devin Haney to give him the kind of nest egg to hang up his gloves. These guys must not be messing with a depressed Broner, not with him losing and looking so haggard.
