Adrien Broner v Jovanie Santiago 2/20 Showtime

[palmerq]

Broner is hilarious, he's like a terrible comedy character brought to life and totally unaware he's the joke. As for his boxing he's a great balance of talent, laziness and idiocy, I find him great fun to watch fight.

The Showtime crew basically holding a wake for Broner's career in the ninth round. It must be even worse than it looks.

Broner is looking a bit like an old man here

This trash truck actually going into the 'deciding' 12th .

115-112..116-111..117-110...all Broner . He gets to go on and lose another high level fight. Hooray

[palmerq]

Broner wins, I didn't see the whole thing but the commentators aren't making it sound like broner should have got that...

Broner is going to get kod of he heads for the top, could be fun.

And we know where the money for this fights is going...





I laughed when the judge said that is your problem -Adrian the Problem Broner.

Can anyone attest that Broner won this? Looking at punchstats Santiago given 207 punches to Broner's 98? Lands zero in 1st round?

This is IMO is the biggest problem with scoring in pugilism. It is as if, certain judges reserve their scores if a fighter is landing light punches.
Skip that. If a fighter is landing here & there & by rounds end has landed twice the amount, unless he's bleeding I got to give the round to the busy fighter that connects no matter if they are the lighter punches.
round 6 seems to have been his best 13 out of 32 to Santiagog 28 out of 82.


Is it possible to say in spite of a fighter landing twice as much is thrawrted because of how well the other guy connected?

The only way I can envion giving a fighter the win after they are out landed 98 to 207 is literally reserve myself for 2:50+ seconds of everyone round.
But if I am objective- I score for punches landed. & if they're close in connects? THEN is when I'd give the round to most effective shots.

AB lives to trasktalk another day.
