Adrien Broner bagged a big win on his return to boxing against Jovanie Santiago. But, he wasn’t happy with the outcome of the fight. Broner couldn’t inflict much damage on his in-ring adversary, and the Puerto Rican pugilist out-landed his Broner in the bout.
Nevertheless, ‘The Problem’ still billed himself as the rightful winner. Despite claiming the decision, he wasn’t happy with an unofficial scorer backing his opponent to win.
Reporter Dan Rafael took to social media and let the world know about the incident. According to him, ‘The Problem’ openly cussed the individual and said, “F*** Steve Farhood.”

Many boxing fans may agree with Farhood on this stance, as Broner did not seem convincing against a rather unheralded opponent. Although he was coming off a huge hiatus, there were a lot of expectations on ‘The Problem’. Unfortunately, he couldn’t live up to them and the result drew some interesting reactions from the boxing world.
