Adrien Broner will be required to wear a mouthguard during his fight against Blair Cobbs Friday night, so there’s a chance the welterweight bout (147 pounds) will be suitable viewing for all ages.
Otherwise...
At a news conference Tuesday, Broner warned Cobbs the boxing match could turn into something far more violent.
"Don't play no games," Broner said, suggesting his associates had guns and would pull the trigger when instructed. He also called Cobbs a homophobic slur.
Replied Cobbs, "Get naked for me."
Broner (35-4-1, 24 KOs) and Cobbs (16-1-1, 10 KOs) presumably will settle all disputes with boxing gloves, despite ring rust. A former world champion in four weight classes, Broner fought last a year ago. For Cobbs, it’s been almost two years since his last fight.
These once-talented but aging boxers have been brought together by promoter Don King. Yes, that Don King, who at 92 still sports the magical hair.
Now it's time to let the punches fly. Follow along for live updates throughout the action.

Josh Peter, USA TODAY Sports: Broner turns back the clock, shows impressive power and, as his trainer put it, “beats the corn off the Cobb(s).” Prediction: Broner TKO, 8th round.
