Jermell Charlo, Terence Crawford, Teddy Atlas, And More React to Adrien Broner’s Underwhelming Win Over Jovanie Santiago

Adrien Broner’s highly anticipated return fight staggered the combat sports fraternity. Though the bout ended with Broner bagging the win with a unanimous decision, many big-wigs of the sport felt that the judges didn’t score the contest right.

Broner and Santiago both traded enough punches against each other. But, it was the ‘Problem’ who slightly edged over the Puerto Rican tonight. This win was extremely vital for Broner to staying relevant in the sport. The American stepped inside the ring after 25 months, and that was certainly visible in his performance tonight.

The WBC super-welterweight champ, Jermell Charlo, welterweight kingpin Terence Crawford, Teddy Atlas, and more laid their notions on Twitter pertaining to the fight results.

Teddy Atlas wrote, “Can I ask a question; was Santiago even in the ring tonight with Broner? Not according to the judges.”

Atlas seemed livid with the judges’ decision on this fight. He thought the match officials completely wrote off Santiago in this fight, who gave a stern test to the ‘Problem’.

Alongside him, Jermell Charlo tweeted, “WOW WWWWWTTTTTTTTFFFFFFFF !!!!! THATS CRAZY ANOTHER BS DECISION.”

The welterweight sensation, Terence Crawford abruptly wrote, ”dam” with laughing emojis.

Apart from these, many more stars detailed their thoughts on this fight. All of them shared the same juncture, wherein they felt the Puerto Rican pugilist, Santiago, got robbed in this contest.

The judges scored 116, 115, 117 in favor of Broner.

Has inactivity hampered Adrien Broner?

A win against Santiago has arrived principally after four years for the Ohio native. His last win was against Adrian Granados in 2017, wherein he won the fight with a split decision.

Broner retired from pro-boxing in 2019 and stayed inactive with his workout regimes. However, he began training for his comeback fight in 2020 itself and tried to give his best shot. Staying away from the sport for such a long time was visible in his performance tonight as Santiago gave him a tough time in the ring, which was evident by the post-fight social media reactions.

Despite a controversial win, Broner earned massive lessons through this fight and got in some valuable in-ring time. Moving ahead, he can employ those teachings to add constant wins to his resume.
