Boxing in his hometown after a tumultuous year of legal and personal troubles, Adrien "The Problem" Broner fought to a split decision over Adrian Granados in a 10-round welterweight bout Saturday night at Xavier University's Cintas Center.

Broner (33-2, 24 KOs) had fought just once in the past 15 months. It was the four-time champion's first fight since losing the 140-pound WBA title for failure to make weight.

He also served jail time in July after being tardy for his trial for assault and robbery charges. Broner later posted on Instagram that he was contemplating suicide.

Granados (18-5-2, 12 KOs) wanted to keep Saturday's decision out of the judges' hands with Broner fighting in his hometown. But, two judges narrowly scored in favor of Broner, 97-93, 96-94.

Granados and Broner are close friends and former sparring partners. That familiarity was apparent Saturday night. Broner even kept his signature trash talk to a minimum in the weeks leading up to the fight.

According to Compubox, Broner won seven of 10 rounds and outlanded Granados in the final three rounds. Broner's accuracy was 41 percent to 21 percent for Granados.

Broner said he injured his left hand in the first round, preventing him from using his jab and forcing him to stay inside.

Granados clearly disagreed with the decision and voiced his displeasure post fight.

"I knew it wasn't a pretty fight but I'm thankful to my team," Granados said. "You already know, there were all types of games that they played with me.  We had to change the weights. We had to change the scale.  They are just playing all kind of games. I just want to be treated fairly.

"I understand, I don't have a perfect record, but I can beat any of these guys. You have seen the scorecards. Split decision. Come on. Give me another one. Let's do it again. I can't wait to watch this fight, because I know I won.

"Come to my house.  He fought smart and did his thing. If he thinks he did it this time, let's do it again. Let's do it in my house. Come to Chicago."
