Boxing History - Pernell Whitaker Tribute

July 25, 2019 23:30 - 1 hour - 90.6 MB

Incredibly, despite solid media coverage even as an amateur, Pernell Whitaker was overlooked relative to his ability and accomplishments throughout his career. It really wasn't until later on, after he was forced to retire as his body broke down, that he got the love and attention he deserved from the start. Now that Whitaker is gone, it's forcing boxing fans and pundits to reexamine how great he was. On this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian Patrick Connor and C...

Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman Recap

July 21, 2019 16:04 - 1 hour - 78.7 MB

Manny Pacquiao didn't exactly "turn back the clock" to defeat Keith Thurman. Pacquiao did, however, rise to the occasion to save everyone from an otherwise useless FoxSports Pay-Per-View, and defeating Thurman at this stage in his career is impressive any way you slice it. On this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, Patrick Connor and Brin-Jonathan Butler break down Pacquiao's win, his future and where Keith Thurman goes from here. And some more too.

Boxing History - Worst Referee and Officiating Performances

June 27, 2019 23:00 - 1 hour - 96.6 MB

Being that this is boxing, it's often best to simply focus on the fighters themselves -- their performances in the ring, that is -- and that's it. But sometimes officials prevent us by doing that by being some of the worst human beings on the planet. That might be a slight exaggeration, but it surely feels that way during the fight. On this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian Patrick Connor joins up with CompuBox operater and fellow fight history fan Aris Pina in r...

Boxing History - Bert Cooper, Harold Lederman Tributes

May 15, 2019 23:00 - 1 hour - 109 MB

Being an enthusiastic fan of boxing means becoming emotionallly involved, and therefore vulnerable in some ways. When the fighters and figures we love pass on, it stings. Heavyweight title challenger Bert Cooper was famous for his connection to Joe Frazier, and his tendency to emulate Joe's style and tenacity. Judge and official Harold Lederman was an HBO staple for decades, his unintentionally hilarious catchphrases endearing him to even the most cynical fans. On this episode of Knuckles a...

Saul Canelo Alvarez vs Daniel Jacobs Recap with Steve "2 Pound" Forbes

May 05, 2019 20:00 - 1 hour - 54.6 MB

Middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez retained the title with a unanimous decision win over Daniel Jacobs this weekend. As is often the case with big Canelo fights, opinions are divided regarding how the fight should have been scored and so forth. And then there's the matter of where he goes from here. Fortunately, on this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, former super featherweight champion Steve "2 Pound" Forbes joins boxing historian Patrick Connor in breaking the fight d...

Boxing History - Fighters Chasing Greatness, Eusebio Pedroza Tribute

March 08, 2019 01:00 - 1 hour - 109 MB

It's been a while, but we can't keep ourselves away from boxing history. This week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, CompuBox operator and history-phile Aris Pina joins boxing historian Patrick Connor in remembering fighters who challenged themselves and went out looking for new skirmishes. Unfortunately former featherweight champion Eusebio Pedroza passed away after a battle with cancer recently, warranting a tribute. It's a big return for us. Listen in! Follow us on Twitter!

Boxing History - Remembering Tommy Morrison

January 09, 2019 18:40 - 1 hour - 72.9 MB

Whether you knew him as "The Duke" or "Hey, yo, Tommy Gunn!" you knew who Tommy Morrison was if you paid attention to boxing in the 1980s or 90s. Morrison was an intriguing and ultimately tragic figure in boxing, and perhaps farther back into his career than many previously though. This week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian Patrick Connor and author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler discuss the life and career of Morrison, who died in 2013. Follow us on Twitter! Patrick ...

Boxing History - Riddick Bowe vs Evander Holyfield Trilogy

December 27, 2018 17:51 - 1 hour - 74.5 MB

Not much in boxing gets fans and pundits excited like a great heavyweight fight. As it happens, Riddick Bowe and Evander Holyfield had three great fights between them. From round 10 of the first bout, to Fan Man, heart issues, Rock Newman... This trilogy had it all. On this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, author and filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler joins boxing historian Patrick Connor in remembering the excellent set of fights these two heavyweights laid on the altar of the boxi...

Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury Recap

December 08, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 57.2 MB

Well, at least a portion of Deontay Wilder's draw with Tyson Fury was the fight we had all wanted. Those parts were exciting, riveting, and they had us simply wanting more. The rest was on the slow side, but we knew that could be a possibilty. This week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian Patrick Connor and author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler team up to recap the action, talk about each fighter's future, what it means for the heavyweight division, and more. Follow us on ...

Boxing History - Best Boxer vs Puncher Heavyweight Fights Ever and 2019 IBHOF

November 30, 2018 00:00 - 2 hours - 109 MB

It's been a little while since our last history episode. We apologize. But we're back with another to make up for it! This week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian Patrick Connor teams up with CompuBox operator and fellow fight historian Aris Pina to remember some of the greatest boxer vs. puncher matchups in the history of the heavyweight division. Since this weekend features a Showtime Pay-Per-View between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury, the theme fits. Since we're in the...

Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury Preview

November 28, 2018 18:00 - 1 hour - 89.6 MB

Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury might not be the heavyweight fight boxing wants, but perhaps it's the heavyweight fight boxing deserves. We're not sure how that whole analogy goes, so that might not be right either. But we do know Wilder-Fury is the fight we're getting. And it's this weekend. So this week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, author and filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler joined boxing historian Patrick Connor to talk about the time he spent in Wilder's camp. But there's also discuss...

Terence Crawford vs Jose Benavidez Recap, Canelo to DAZN

October 17, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 72.8 MB

Not only did Terence Crawford dominate and stop Jose Benavidez last weekend, but over 2 million people tuned in to watch it on ESPN. Paired with recent news that Saul "Canelo" Alvarez signed to fight on DAZN, this sounds like great news for the sport of boxing and it's immediate future. This week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, author and filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler joined boxing historian Patrick Connor in discussing Crawford-Benavidez, DAZN, the Canelo signing, Deontay Wilder vs Ty...

Boxing History - HBO Boxing Tribute

October 11, 2018 23:00 - 2 hours - 110 MB

Many people in boxing circles had speculated for months, if not years, that HBO would be tapering down its boxing programming to zero at some point. After the recent announcement that HBO would no longer be consistently invested in boxing, those people were more or less proven correct. This week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, CompuBox operater Aris Pina joins fellow fight history fanatic Patrick Connor in remembering some of HBO Boxing's greatest -- and worst -- moments. From HBO Boxin...

Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin Recap

September 23, 2018 17:18 - 1 hour - 98.3 MB

Anthony Joshua is probably the best heavyweight in the world. Probably. And his stoppage victory over Alexander Povetkin went a long way in backing that suggestion up. After several rounds of a difficult fight, Joshua finally came through with a combination that stole Povetkin's legs and handed him his first stoppage loss. It remains to be seen what comes of Deontay Wilder's showdown with Tyson Fury, but the winner should be turned toward Joshua to determine supremacy. This week on Knuckles...

Saul Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin II Recap

September 16, 2018 16:20 - 1 hour - 108 MB

It is done. Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs Gennady "GGG" Golovkin is finished and there's plenty of fresh controversy to talk about. It just wouldn't be boxing if there weren't. Following another entertaining clash between Alvarez and Golovkin, many appear to believe the latter deserved to win the close decision that was afforded Canelo. But it has to be conceded that this was another close bout with many tough, contentious rounds. In this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing histo...

Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury Announcement, Frampton-Jackson Recap

August 22, 2018 17:00 - 57 minutes - 51.8 MB

Tyson Fury is more or less back. Perhaps less, but we'll just have to see. Fury dominated Francesco Pianeta en route to a 10 round points decision last weekend, but the much bigger news is that a fight with American title-holder Deontay Wilder is official. It's a big heavyweight fight, and at worst intriguing. In the main event, Carl Frampton stopped Luke Jackson in nine rounds amid a great atmosphere.

Special Guests Steve "2 Pound" Forbes and Christina Lunzman

August 12, 2018 18:30 - 29 minutes - 26.2 MB

There has only been one boxing card in Portland, Oregon in the last 12 years. This past December, former super featherweight champion Steve Forbes and co-promoter Christina Lunzman organized a five-fight card under their promotional banner, 2 Pound Sports & Entertainment. Headlined by Tacoma, Washington-based cruiserweight prospect Marquice Weston, the event proved that boxing was welcome in the Rose City. It's been a few months, but on August 25th, 2 Pound Sports & Entertainment returns to ...

Boxing History - Invincible Fighters Who Got Destroyed

August 09, 2018 23:00 - 2 hours - 110 MB

Throughout boxing history, the sport has earned its reputation as a cruel endeavor. Its tendency to break men down and constantly remind everyone that nobody is invincible is rough, and legendary. This week on a boxing history episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian Patrick Connor and Compubox operator Aris Pina team up to recall fighters from history who were thought to be unbeatable and were eventually torn to shreds. From Mike Tyson to Jimmy Wilde, to Roberto Duran ...

Eleider Alvarez vs Sergey Kovalev Recap, Wilder-Fury Negotiations

August 08, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 79.6 MB

In only two years, Sergey Kovalev went from the guy who deserved the decision against one of the world's best fighters in Andre Ward, to a poor sap who never had it. Thanks, Eleider Alvarez. The truth is probably somewhere in the crevices. That's if you need a microscope or a soothsaying device to read beyond "Sergey Kovalev was doing great until he was hit with a well-timed, powerful right hand." By stopping Kovalev without controversy, Eleider Alvarez entered the light heavyweight fray mo...

Boxing History - Champions With Fewest Fights

July 26, 2018 23:00 - 2 hours - 109 MB

While figuring out how much to value title belts isn't an easy task anymore, for now they're what we have to track the lineage of champions. Regardless, what Oleksandr Usyk has been able to accomplish in a short amount of time is quite significant, and especially considering his current division. This week on the history edition of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian Patrick Connor and Compubox operator Aris Pina remember the fighters who found their way to a world title in ju...

Usyk-Gassiev Recap, Garcia-Easter & Parker-Whyte Previews

July 25, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 60.6 MB

It's a fact: we love tournaments. The World Boxing Super Series, while still flawed in a few ways, has for the most part brought a heap of good pairings and action. The cruiserweight final between Oleksandr Usyk and Murat Gassiev may not have been as explosive as most of us hoped, but it was still high quality stuff, and crowned an emperor in the division. Where does Usyk go now? How could he do at heavyweight? Would it be worth it to attempt to rule cruiserweight for a spell? Also, there's...

Boxing History - Skipped Heavyweight Fights

July 19, 2018 23:00 - 1 hour - 109 MB

Boxing is a sport of timing, without question. Sometimes apart from the timing shown by one fighter against another in the ring, boxing is also about career timing and trajectory. As boxing's glamor division, heavyweight has consistently drawn in more eyes and ears than the others. Even so, making heavyweight fights at the right time -- and sometimes making them at all -- proves to be too difficult. From John L. Sullivan vs Peter Jackson to Lennox Lewis vs Riddick Bowe II, historians Aris P...

Pacquiao vs Matthysse Recap, Usyk vs Gassiev Preview

July 18, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 56.1 MB

MANNY PACQUIAO IS BACK!!!!!!1111! ...that's the refrain, friends. Memorize it before all hope is ripped from us when a Floyd Mayweather vs Pacquiao rematch is made. In trouncing a passive and seemingly just plain worn-out Lucas Matthysse, the esteemed Senator Pacquiao was able to tab his first stoppage win in almost nine years. What it means considering the shape of his opponent is tough to say, but it will inevitably keep Manny going a while. But this weekend, Oleksandr Usyk and Murat Gass...

Manny Pacquiao vs Lucas Matthysse Preview

July 11, 2018 17:03 - 1 hour - 70.6 MB

Manny Pacquiao may or may not be at the end of his career. Again. This time he faces Argentinian banger Lucas Matthysse, who also may or may not be very faded. Add to it that the fight is in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and we have the makings of a classic. Maybe. This week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, we talked about Manny Pacquiao's career, Lucas Matthysse's chances, and much more. But we also talked Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder, Regis Prograis vs Juan Jose Velasco and a smattering o...

Errol Spence, Terence Crawford, Bobby Czyz and Everything Between

June 20, 2018 17:30 - 1 hour - 84 MB

It's 2018 and ESPN is showing more boxing than any other network this summer. What in the hell is going on? The same question could be asked of a deep welterweight division that has seen too few of its stars in head-to-head bouts.Last weekend Errol Spence, Jr. clearly demonstrated his world class ability in quickly stopping Carlos Ocampo with a body shot, and the weekend before that, Terence Crawford systematically broke down Jeff Horn over 9 rounds. Yet we can't wonder when they'll meet up,...

Adonis Stevenson vs Badou Jack Recap

May 23, 2018 15:00 - 1 hour - 83.4 MB

A draw verdict never seems all that satisfying. That's one of the reasons why Adonis Stevenson's majority draw with Badou Jack on Showtime felt incomplete, even if the draw may have been warranted. Stevenson dominated early, Jack mostly dominated late, and it was at worst a pretty good fight. In the co-feature, Gary Russell, Jr. earned a unanimous decision over Joseph Diaz, Jr... and that concludes Gary Russell, Jr.'s schedule for the 2010s. Just kidding. Even though that could easily be th...

Lomachenko vs Linares, Munguia vs Ali Recaps, Stevenson vs Jack Preview

May 16, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 65.5 MB

We've hit a nice little groove here in 2018 and there's plenty of boxing stuff happening all over. Last weekend, Vasyl Lomachenko had to peel himself off the canvas to get a body shot kayo win over Jorge Linares on ESPN, and Jaime Munguia announced his arrival onto the 154-pound scene with a dominant stoppage of Sadam Ali on HBO. And now this weekend, Adonis Stevenson and Badou Jack finally meet up on a split-site Showtime card also featuring Gary Russell, Jr.'s showdown with Joseph Diaz, Jr...

Gennady Golovkin vs Vanes Martirosyan Recap, Lomachenko-Linares Preview

May 09, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 69.4 MB

The verdict is in and, despite all of the shenanigans, Gennady Golovkin's quick KO win over Vanes Martirosyan sold like hotcakes on HBO. What exactly that means isn't quite clear, but more Golovkin on our television sets is something most boxing fans seem to want. In the co-feature, Cecilia Braekhus had to battle through a few rough patches to retain her welterweight title over Kali Reis. But the larger story is that with the first women's boxing match on HBO happening without a serious hitc...

Gennady Golovkin vs Vanes Martirosyan Preview, Jacobs-Sulecki Recap

May 02, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 87.6 MB

We experience this every year as boxing fans: weather heats up, so do the fights. Yes, we've had cancellations and postponements, but that's just a part of the sport. We've already had a solid first near-half of the year, and we have some tasty stuff coming our way too. This weekend Gennady Golovkin finally makes it back into the ring, albeit not against "Canelo" Alvarez and not on HBO PPV as we had all hoped and anticipated. Instead, due to the whole Clenbuterol thing, we'll see Golovkin ta...

Broner vs Vargas, Frampton vs Donaire, Khan-Lo Greco Preview

April 18, 2018 17:09 - 54 minutes - 48.7 MB

The schedule this weekend is the kind of fight schedule we could use, with a bit of everything in there. From Amir Khan's return, to a card featuring both Adrien Broner AND Gervonta Davis, to a Charlo, and more. It actually doesn't end there. The potential for making fun and enjoying some actual boxing at the same time is there, and it's nice. This week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio. author and filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler and boxing historian Patrick Connor talk Amir Khan vs Phil Lo...

Boxing History - Craziest Fight Endings

April 12, 2018 23:00 - 1 hour - 109 MB

Boxing is a crazy sport. Possibly the craziest of sports, and especially when taking its history into account. And boxing history is what these editions of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio is all about! Though we've discussed the most controversial fight endings before, this show is just about the craziest debacles and the most unlikely and stunning endings that only boxing can bring, and has since it began.

Deontay Wilder vs Luis Ortiz Recap, Canelo, Weekend Preview

March 07, 2018 18:00 - 1 hour - 77.6 MB

Month three of 2018 is off and running, and a clash between two hard-hitting heavyweights still has people talking. Deontay Wilder's win over Luis Ortiz would still be tops in the boxing news cycle if it weren't for Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's positive test for Clenbuterol. But it gives us more things to discuss this week. Was Wilder-Ortiz a great fight? Can Wilder defeat the Anthony Joshua vs Joseph Parker winner? Is there anyone alive that fights more like a spaghetti noodle with boxing gloves...

Boxing History - The Cruiserweights

February 09, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 109 MB

It sure looks like the cruiserweight division is enjoying a surge of both talent and popularity, thanks to the World Boxing Super Series, and more specifically, Oleksandr Usyk and Murat Gassiev's tremendous recent performances. Often thought of as a second-rate heavyweight division, cruiserweight is consistently overlooked. How did this division -- not quite heavyweight, but bigger than light heavyweight -- even get started? Who are the division's greatest fighters? This week on Knuckles an...

Boxing History - The Un-Filmed Classics

February 02, 2018 00:00 - 2 hours - 109 MB

Boxing is a sport with no shortage of mythology and history. Much of the mythology centers around fights we've never seen before and have only heard or read about. That's what this show is for! This week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio's history show, Compubox operator Aris Pina and writer/fight historian Patrick Connor team up to talk boxing history. Just about all of "Sugar" Ray Robinson's welterweight reign has gone unseen by fans, as have classics between Willie Pep and Sandy Saddler...

Usyk-Briedis, Matthysse & Linares Recaps, Canelo-Golovkin Rematch Official

January 31, 2018 18:00 - 1 hour - 77.5 MB

If there were any question whether or not boxing had really kicked off in 2018, the excellent scrap between Oleksandr Usyk and Mairis Briedis answered with an emphatic "YES IT HAS." Usyk-Briedis should stand as a "Fight of the Year" contender by the end of the year, if not a frontrunner. The two cruiserweights beat the heck out of each other in the semifinal of the World Boxing Super Series, with Usyk barely winning out. Then over on HBO, Lucas Matthysse continued his comeback with a strange...

Boxing History - Forgotten Action Fighters

January 19, 2018 00:00 - 2 hours - 109 MB

There's room for many styles, outlooks and approaches in boxing. Brawlers, stylists, patient thinkers... The contrast between these are a large part of what makes the sport interesting. But action is what draws the masses and keeps them enraptured. In boxing, television rules all and action makes for the best TV. Many action fighters haven't been the best pound-for-pound, and some never even came close to sniffing a world title. Despite the entertainment they provide, many fade away or simpl...

Boxing History - Greatest Jewish Fighters Ever

January 05, 2018 00:00 - 2 hours - 110 MB

Fights and fighters simply aren't promoted along ethnic or religious lines like they used to be, for better or worse. In decades past, a number of large U.S. cities in particular would be nearly factioned-off in separate neighborhoods based on ethnicity and the like. In the 1920s and 30s specifically, Jewish fighters were extremely well-represented in boxing. While pugilism seems to have largely forgotten Jewish influence in combat sports, we haven't. This week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing ...

2017 Boxing End of the Year Awards

December 28, 2017 22:30 - 2 hours - 110 MB

The "state of boxing" is often the subject of an ongoing discussion on this podcast, and 2016 was one awful year overall. It would have been difficult for this year to be worse, and thankfully 2017 was indeed a massive improvement. There were some memorable skirmishes, some insane knockouts, unbelievable controversies, as usual... In short, boxing continued to be boxing this year. Reports of its demise were premature, as they always are. This week, on Knuckle and Gloves Boxing Radio's final...

Vasyl Lomachenko vs Guillermo Rigondeaux Recap

December 11, 2017 01:00 - 1 hour - 72.1 MB

Guillermo Rigondeaux may have been a firm underdog against Vasyl Lomachenko, but few thought the Ukrainian would triumph so thoroughly in this battle of Olympic gold medalists on ESPN. If nothing else, Lomachenko confirmed that he deserves to be ranked among the best fighters in the world. This week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, author and filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler and boxing historian Patrick Connor team up to tackle the how's and why's of all that happened between Lomachenko an...

Vasyl Lomachenko vs Guillermo Rigondeaux Preview, Ali-Cotto Recap

December 06, 2017 20:00 - 1 hour - 74.4 MB

Vasyl Lomachenko's showdown with Guillermo Rigondeaux is one of the most anticipated fights of 2017. It's a year that's ending with a bang -- or at least we hope so. Lomachenko-Rigondeaux could conceivably end a few different ways, and a few of them could be less-than-scintillating. No matter how it endsm Lomachenko-Rigondeaux matches two fighters with an incredible amount of experience, talent and skill. It's an extremely worthy offering, and getting it on ESPN is awesome. We'll be there. ...
