Broner vs Cobbs Betting Analysis
Adrien Broner
Broner is an American boxer with a professional record of 35-4-1, including 24 wins by KO under his belt at the age of 34. As a young man, Broner became a world champion in multiple weight divisions and rose to stardom at a young age. He was an incredible talent, accumulating a 300-19 amateur record before turning professional as well.
Broner is listed as a 5’6” orthodox boxer with a 69” reach, and he looks to be in pretty good shape going into this fight–considering he was very out of shape when he was away from the sport. He has been a professional since 2008 and has completed 257 rounds with a 69% KO rate and has never been stopped.
Blair Cobbs
Cobbs is an American professional boxer with a 16-1-1 record, including 10 KO victories under his belt. He is also a 34-year-old but hasn’t reached the same championship levels as Broner. Cobbs has held the WBC-NABF welterweight belt since 2019, though.
Standing at 5’11”, Cobbs fights out of the southpaw stance and boasts a lengthy 73-inch reach. Since turning professional in 2013, he has completed only 92 rounds and has a 63% KO rate. He has been stopped in the ring once in his career as well.

Making a Broner vs Cobbs betting prediction might be difficult because neither of these guys hasn’t been the most active fighter, along with question marks surrounding what version of the once-great Broner we will see.
Starting with the boxing odds for this bout, Broner is the underdog at +138 right now as Cobbs is coming in as the -163 betting favorite. The over/under is 8.5 rounds for this 10-round fight, and it’s favored to go to a decision at -225.
Stylistically and technically, Cobbs is going to be a tough matchup for the former champion. Cobbs will have a clear height and reach advantage, along with being supremely confident and explosive. His downfall is his defensive responsibility and how he keeps his chin in the air to be clipped.
Broner was once an explosive power puncher who would pose a ton of issues to Cobbs, but the questions about his condition and speed will need to be answered in the ring on Friday night.
Even though Broner doesn’t seem like the most cerebral guy from his antics, he will have a big advantage in fight IQ on Friday night. He has been in the ring with some of the best fighters in the world in his day, he has seen a lot of different looks.
Cobbs will be showing up in shape, but he fades in the later rounds with the energetic style he has. Broner should be thinking about the opportunity he has to hurt and slow down Cobbs dramatically in the later rounds.

With that being said, the official Broner vs Cobbs betting prediction is that Broner will get his hand raised. In this kind of fight, taking the slight underdog is a great pick because it’s a coin flip.
Broner has a clearer path to victory if he’s in shape and still has the skills he had in 2023. He will be able to wear down the body of Cobbs and get at least a knockdown in the later rounds of the fight.
