Adrien Broner (USA) vs. Jovanie Santiago (PUERTO RICO) | Boxing fight Highlights

Adrien Broner returns to the winner's circle after a significant victory. The last time he secured a win in a fight, it was still six months before Floyd Mayweather Jr. faced off against Conor McGregor.

This changed on Saturday night when Broner emerged victorious against Jovanie Santiago, earning a unanimous decision victory with scores of 117-110, 116-111, and 115-112. The fight took place at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Conn. DAZN News, however, had the fight scored 114-113 in favor of Santiago.

The narrative of the fight unfolded much as it typically does when Broner steps into the ring. Santiago began the bout by taking control of the first half with his higher activity level. He pressed forward, landing combinations and targeting Broner's body. Meanwhile, Broner was notably less active, often limited to throwing single jabs and keeping his back against the ropes.

In classic Broner fashion, he rallied in the second half of the match, notably starting in the seventh round. The former four-division world champion unleashed a flurry of punches, showcasing his lightning-quick combinations and his trademark check left hook, which nearly dropped Santiago in the eighth round.

Nonetheless, the outcome of the fight remained uncertain as it approached the 12th and final round. Santiago's corner urged him to go for a finish, as they were unsure about securing a decision victory. Santiago gave it his all, relentlessly attacking Broner, and he landed 32 of 95 punches in the final three minutes, while Broner connected on just seven of 34.

According to Compubox, Broner landed 98 out of 338 punches (29 percent), while Santiago connected with 207 out of 697 (29.7 percent). Surprisingly, the judges did not reward Santiago's activity and aggression and instead handed Broner his first win since a split decision victory over Adrian Granados in February 2017.
