Boxing History & True Crime - The Death of Tyrone Everett

There is no shortage of links between boxing and crime throughout history, and we enjoy when those things converge.
In the 1970s, Philadelphia experienced serious gang and mafia violence in some parts of the city. In the middle of the decade, a young fighter named Tyrone Everett emerged as a likely future world champion.
Everett lost a highly controversial decision to junior lightweight champion Alfredo Escalera in 1976, and before a rematch could take place, Everett was gunned down.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio podcast, Patrick Connor and Aris Pina remember the boxing, the history and the true crime.

Ortiz-Conceicao, Bare Knuckle, Belfort-Holyfield & Failed Comebacks

Have we reached peak boxing insanity yet? If not, heaven help us.
This weekend we watched a lot of combat sports. Between Óscar Valdez's close and somewhat controversial win over Robson Conceição on ESPN, separate bare knuckles events on BKFC and BYB Extreme, and the dreaded Vitor Belfort vs Evander Holyfield exhibition, we were almost overwhelmed.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio podcast, Patrick Connor and Aris Pina team up to discuss the weekend, and then remember a number of failed comeback attempts from boxing history.

Valdez-Conceicao, Holyfield-Belfort, Bare Knuckle & more

In a more ideal world, we would simply be discussing the fight between junior lightweights Óscar Valdez and Robson Conceição on ESPN this weekend. Instead, Valdez tested positive for a substance called and that's taken over the narrative. Until Oscar de la Hoya got COVID and Evander Holyfield swooped in to save the day and fight Vitor Belfort, that is!
Boxing is wild lately, we have no excuse.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio podcast, Patrick Connor and Aris Pina preview the weekend, talk a little bit of AEW magic and briefly review Jeanette Zacarias Zapata's recent unfortunate death.

Boxing History - The Death of Jesse James Hughes

We're back with another true crime episode of the Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio podcast. It seemed many enjoyed our rundown of the life and alleged coverup in the death of Charles Newell, so this time we're taking aim at the case of another fighter who died under shady circumstnces: "The Outlaw" Jesse James Hughes.
Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the welterweight division was in a transitional period, but nevertheless ripe with talent. As Felix Trinidad began his reign, James Hughes was released from prison and began a strong run in 1993. But in 1995, Hughes went missing and was found dead weeks later. On this episode of the pod, fight historians Patrick Connor and Aris Pina hash out Hughes' early career and go over the known facts of his case.

Jermell Charlo vs Brian Castaño Preview & Remembering Jr Middle Unifications

Quick: name some junior middleweight unification bouts. If it took you a few minutes to come up with more than a couple, you're not alone, because there haven't been that many. That's at least part of what makes the Jermell Charlo vs Brian Castaño clash notable, though it's a compelling matchup otherwise.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio podcast, Patrick Connor and Aris Pina give the Charlo-Castaño main event a preview and talk about the co-feature, Rolando Romero vs Anthony Yigit. We couldn't do a whole show without talking history, though, so discussion of other junior middleweight unifications from history is also on the menu.

Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul Preview with Corey Erdman

We couldn't help ourselves and Floyd Mayweather's exhibition against Logan Paul on Showtime needed some talking. At least we thought it did, which is why we brought in the big guns.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio podcast, boxing writer and commentator Corey Erdman joins historians Patrick Connor and Aris Pina in answering some questions about Mayweather-Paul. Like, what should we expect? Is this really that bizarre or unprecedented? How much shame should we feel for enjoying this? There's only one way to find out: listen.

Nonito Donaire vs Nordine Oubaali, Haney-Linares Recaps

Nonito Donaire said it best. "The king is back." His huge knockout win over Nordine Oubaali was both entertaining and triumphant, and he deserves some proper respect. Between Donaire-Oubaali, Devin Haney's win over Jorge Linares and Subriel Matías' crunching fight with Batyr Jukembayev, it was a heck of a Saturday night of boxing.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio podcast, we ran down the weekend's fights, in addition to giving a short tribute to recently fallen Keith Mullings.
