Rick "Elvis" Parker might not be a memorable name to many boxing fans, but he should be. In the 1980s and 90s, Parker dealt with George Foreman, Jimmy Young, Bert Cooper and others before he was killed by a fighter in his stable in 1995.
It's a wild tale of fight setups, double-crossing and, unfortunately, murder.
Joining us on this episode is BoxRec editor Grey Johnson!

When you think Pernell Whitaker, you generally think defense, not brutal, late-rounds knockouts. But against Diosbelys Hurtado in 1997, that's what we got.
Faced with getting a big fight with Oscar de la Hoya, Whitaker, for some reason, took on Hurtado on HBO.
After trailing on all three cards through 10 tedious and foul-filled rounds, Whitaker knew what he needed to do and did it.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, listen to some of the back story of the fight as we pass its anniversary.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, the answers to those questions from Patrick Connor and Brin-Jonathan Butler might just surprise you!
