Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner Returns, Wins Tough Decision Over Jovanie Santiago

Good thing Oscar Valdez Knocked out Miguel Berchelt. Had both fights on but the volume Broner was off.

Truth be told Broner won the fight before he even stepped in the ring. The fix was in.

Saw the fight. Same ol' Broner but even worse. The announcers tried to find anything he was doing to suggest he was competitive. He was fighting a guy significantly smaller who wasn't terribly good and still lost IMO. As soon as I heard 115-111, I knew the judges gifted him a win. Just fattening up the lamb for slaughter...

People give Broner too much ****. Is his lifestyle much worse than Gatti? Gatti was always boozing, not getting the most out of himself. Problem is Gatti was managed correctly. He mostly fought scrubs who he was physically bigger than. Broner having to fight world champions.

but he did...that shows how bad broner is

Haha ok my bad, Broner was really bad tonight

Broner looked rusty and I though the fight was a draw he needs to keep away from 147 he is not a welterweight at all. Santiago gave a good account of himself.

Adrien Broner sucks. There's really not much more that needs to be said.

Eh, I'm not the biggest Gatti fan but his resume is more than just bums. Hell, Broner wouldn't beat Baldomir or Ward 😂

At one stage near the end of a round, Broner threw a series of three punches at Santiago and missed all of them by a lot.

The announcer then said, "Nice sequence of punches from Broner, his best of the fight so far!"

They even doubled down and showed a slo-mo replay which made it even more clear that Broner missed every punch in that sequence by a mile.

That sums up the fight.

¿Broner rallied in the second half of the fight? ¿Really, when? Broner landed 35 of 138 punches over the first six rounds of the fight while Santiago landed 93 of 305 punches over the same time frame.
Over the last half of the fight, Broner landed 63 of 300 punches while Santiago landed 114 of 392 punches. The ninth round was Broner’s most active, which saw him land 12 of 38 punches. Santiago landed 18 of 57 punches in that round.
n the 12th and final round Santiago landed 32 of 95 punches, and Broner landed 7 of 34 punches. This was a robbery, the judges had the cards already scored before the fight even started.Santiago needed a KO to get at least a draw.
