Adrien Broner bagged a unanimous win over Jovanie Santiago on his return to action at the Mohegan Sun Casino tonight. Putting a quell on his 2-year-long hiatus from the ring, it wasn’t Broner’s best performance. However, it ended his winless drought that began in 2017.

Meanwhile, Broner had to go through several difficulties in the period, including his recent quarantine at Mohegan for the fight. According to reporter Brian Campbell, ‘The Problem’ suffered some serious problems while dealing with it, and it might be a reason behind his substandard performance tonight.

“I felt like I was in jail again,” said Broner as per Campbell.

It might not have been the best week of his career. However, coming back to the flow with a win is clearly the best thing that could have happened for Broner, especially as he wants to test himself against bigger challengers ahead. Prior to the fight, Adrien Broner had teased at fighting for another championship run, and if everything goes per plan, we can see it happen soon.

Adrien Broner- A look back at his tonight’s win

Broner began smart in the fight and didn’t rush to stop his opponent. Instead, he looked composed and dictated the range well. But, he couldn’t land as many shots as Jovanie Santiago did. By the end of round 4, the fight had turned intense as both the boxers took the action beyond the bell. Fortunately, it didn’t turn vile further and referees took control of the situation.

Santiago dominated ‘The Problem’ mostly in the later rounds as he brought his best game and worked thoroughly on Broner’s body.

The 31-year-old Broner also responded with action, but the punch counts weren’t even close to Santiago’s. However, considering Broner’s resistance and control over the ring, he was awarded the victory on points.

Broner desperately needed a win at this stage to revive his career. It remains to be seen how he progresses from here, but it is clear that 12 rounds of boxing would have helped him shake off the ring-rust.
