@Newzz dont ab got a twin....wonder why his twin never boxed or did he
Yeah, he has a fraternal twin brother...they're not identical.
Andre Broner is his name. And he used to box as well as an amateurs, but he stopped young.
Here's an article about them:
“I was six years old and my dad used to always put gloves on us and let us box in the yard,” Broner told this writer and co-host ofleave-it-in-the-ring.comradio show David Duenez. “I was always beating up on guys in the neighborhood so he said I’m going to take you to the gym one day. One day he took me down and they automatically put me in the ring with the best little kid that was in the gym at the time. I kind of beat him up real bad. So they called Rau’Shee Warren, who became a two-time Olympian. He kind of beat me up, made me cry and then after that, I stuck with it.”
The relationship with Warren, who now fights for the new The World Series of Boxing league, has remained strong to this day, with the accomplished two-time Olympian helping along the 21-year-old prospect who hopes to have a big impact this year.
“He’s always been like a big brother to me,” said Broner. “I always looked up to that kid. I was always under his wing. He made me a better boxer, a better fighter.”
Broner took to fighting early and often as an amateur, quickly learning his new trade and relishing the damage he and his brother could do as they competed in tournament after tournament.Ultimately, the two earned twin nicknames and Broner still answers to his to this day.
“I have a twin brother, Andre Broner; he used to box, too,” explained Broner. “We used to raise havoc everywhere we go. We were kids. A lot of people liked us and we won a lot of tournaments. My twin, he found himself giving up and leaving it up to me. I just kept it going and every time I got in the ring, I dominated. Every tournament I went to, they said, ‘Awww, we have a problem. The twin is here.’ My brother’s name is ‘The Solution.’”
Oh yeah, AB's last fight as an amateur was when he was 16, so yeah that video with him talking about him idolizing Shawn Porter had to be from some time between 2005-2006 and that's when Shawn was dominating 165 as an amateur on his way to winning the Golden Gloves

Ellerbe Clarifies Max Weight For Broner-Porter is 144
Posted by: Keith Idec on 6/15/2015

Mayweather Promotions chief executive officer Leonard Ellerbe clarified on a conference call Monday that the maximum weight for the Adrien Broner-Shawn Porter non-title fight Saturday night is 144 pounds.
Porter and his father/trainer, Ken Porter, indicated earlier during the conference call that even they weren’t quite sure about the maximum weight for their main event at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Ellerbe issued the clarification because Mayweather Promotions is the official promoter of the event, part of Al Haymon’s “Premier Boxing Champions” series on NBC (8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT).
“I just wanted to try to clear up this whole weight issue [because] there’s a lot of back and forth about this weight issue,” Ellerbe said. “Both fighters have agreed to fight this fight Saturday at 144 pounds max. I want to be clear with that – 144 pounds max. Both fighters agreed upon that.
“So the fans are expecting a great fight and I think that both fighters will be at their best come Saturday night. Both fighters have had an excellent camp and have prepared to fight at the weight and both fighters know what to expect from each other. They know each other very well. They both have great strength. And I think it’s going to be a very exciting fight come Saturday night.”
The 27-year-old Porter (25-1-1, 16 KOs) has not weighed 144 pounds for a fight since he out-pointed Anges Adjaho (26-7, 15 KOs), of Buffalo, N.Y., by unanimous decision in their 10-rounder in February 2011.
That’s the lowest Porter has weighed for any of his 27 professional fights. He hasn’t weighed in at less than 146½ pounds for any of his past nine fights. The Akron, Ohio, native made his pro debut at 165 pounds in October 2008.
The 25-year-old Broner (30-1, 22 KOs) – a former super featherweight, lightweight and welterweight champion – hasn’t weighed more than 141 pounds for any of his past three fights. The Cincinnati native weighed in at 144½ pounds before Argentina’s Marcos Maidana (35-5, 31 KOs) dropped him twice and beat Broner by unanimous decision 18 months ago in San Antonio.

Shawn Porter, Trainer Not Concerned with Broner’s Speed
Posted by: David P. Greisman on 6/15/2015

Shawn Porter is a naturally bigger fighter — a former 165-pound amateur who has mostly been a junior middleweight and welterweight as a pro. But when he steps in against Adrien Broner this Saturday at a fight with a contractual catch-weight of 144 pounds, Porter isn’t concerned about the speed that the former 130-, 135- and 147-pound titleholder will bring into the ring.
“Yes, he is skillful and fast. We haven’t really done that much different to try to offset that or anything, the reason being because we know I’m just as fast and just as quick as he is,” Porter said on a June 15 media conference call. “There haven’t been any special workouts that we’ve incorporated in this camp or anything like that different to offset his speed.
“We just really focused moreso on my skills and also on the different techniques that are required to cut off and slow down a fast fighter like him,” he said. “It’s always what we’ve been doing, just at a higher level. We’re not overlooking his speed. We’ve just done more of what we need to do to prepare for it, which is what we’ve always done.”
Kenny Porter, Shawn’s father and trainer, pointed to the experience his son has accumulated in the ring against opponents and in sparring sessions.
“I think Devon Alexander is one of the fastest boxers in boxing, period,” Kenny Porter said, citing the fighter Porter beat for a world title in 2013 before losing the belt last year. He then referenced sparring: “I know that Manny Pacquiao is one of the fastest boxers in boxing. I know that Andre Dirrell is one of the fastest boxers in boxing. Shawn has been able to compete against those type of guys in professional fights, in sessions, in camps.
“We aren’t going to have a problem with anyone’s speed,” Kenny Porter said. “He’s just as fast as anyone that goes in the ring with him. When you talk about a guy’s speed, that’s not something we’re concerned with. The problem that guy will have to deal with is we’re fast — and we’ve got power to come along with that.”
