Like it or not, Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez is the undisputed super middleweight champion. Caleb Plant deserves his own respect, but for now, it's The Canelo Show.
Canelo Álvarez, one of boxing's best pound-for-pound fighters, broke Plant down over 11 rounds and scored a brutal stoppage. And it was impressive.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, former junior lightweight champion Steve "2 Pound" Forbes joins Patrick Connor and Aris Pina to give the kind of unique insight only a former world champion—and someone who's sparred with Canelo Álvarez—can give.

There is little doubt that Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez is one of boxing's best fighters right now. Haggle all you want about pound for pound numbers, but it can't be denied. This weekend, Caleb "Sweet Hands" Plant aims to take it all away.
While super middleweight is a somewhat newer division, it still has its history, and we couldn't help but get into that a little bit. But apart from that, it's all #CaneloPlant.
This episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast should satisfy your preview needs. From the fight itself and the fighters' histories, to the various PED concerns and a brief look at the undercard, we're here for this one.

Quick: what's the first thing you know about Harry Greb? Probably that weird history types keep insisting he's one of the greatest fighters of all time despite none of his fight footage actually being available.
Throughout boxing's history, and even more recent than many might have thought, footage is missing of certain fighters who probably should have more video on them given the era and their popularity. And some fights are inexplicably missing too. 
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Patrick Connor and Aris Pina team up to remember a number of the fights and fighters with little or no footage on 'em.

If you've followed recent bare knuckle developments, or MMA, for that matter, you've heard of Christine "Knuckles" Stanley. In her most recent appearance, Knuckles lost a close decision to Patricia Juárez on BYB Extreme Bare Knuckle Fight Series 6 this past July.
BYB Extreme recently signed Knuckles to a contract. Before Knuckles makes her return to the signature Trigon, here's a bit more of her story.

Our true crime series continues, and this time with another heavyweight whose story had plenty of ups and downs, but mostly downs, in Jeff Sims.
A Florida native, Sims survived working in the sugar cane fields and somehow lived through some violent teen years to become a professional fighter.
Perhaps known best for the heavyweight who busted Muhammad Ali's lip in sparring, Jeff Sims was definitely much more than that.

We got what we wanted. Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder waged the war we asked for, and it was glorious.
There were knockdowns, shifts in momentum, gigantic punches thrown and landed by two huge human beings, thrills, chills and a definitive ending.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio podcast, Patrick Connor is again joined by author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler and Compubox operator/historian Aris Pina in examining the fight from a handful of different angles while everyone's still excited.

After what seems like forever, with a healthy dose of litigation, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder meet for a third time this weekend.
Anthony Joshua almost got his crack at Fury, but he has unfinished business with Oleksandr Usyk. Instead we revisit an entertaining and sometimes wacky series between Fury and Wilder, two of boxing's biggest fighters.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio podcast, author Patrick Connor joins forces with Compubox operator and fight historian Aris Pina and filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler to attack this Fury-Wilder rubbermatch from several different angles. Join us!

Friday Oct 01, 2021

Many boxing fans and pundits in the U.S. know Otto Wallin simply as the heavyweight who cut Tyson Fury and gave him a lot of trouble a few years ago. But there's definitely more to the Swedish heavyweight contender than that, and he was kind enough to share some of it with us.
