Adrien Broner has been successful in his professional boxing career, donning the world championship in four distinct weight divisions. However, he hasn’t tasted victory for over four years and has decided to stage another run by returning opposite a lesser-known name in Jovanie Santiago.
Meanwhile, his former rival Shawn Porter has all the faith in Broner and believes that he will witness another successful run from him. Porter is one of the four boxers to have defeated the ‘Problem. That said, he is aware of his capabilities and has recently commented on his return.

Speaking on The Porter Way Podcast Clips, ‘Showtime’ said, “I think the biggest question is, Is it too late? And I honestly don’t think it is. I think that he is someone that, if he (Adrien Broner) is able to be rebuilt and you know kinda refurbished for the sake of words, I think that he could be something great again. Or at least very good, he has been far from very good lately too.”
In his last appearance, Broner locked horns against Manny Pacquiao in 2019. It was a high-voltage clash, posing two superior welterweights against each other. But, Pacquiao unveiled a stupendous show inside the ring and handed Broner his fourth loss.

He has appeared thrice and has lost two fights with one draw. So, Broner badly needs a win to regain his relevancy in the ongoing talks. That said, he is just 31-years-old and is confident of having another successful period in the sport.
