Terence "Bud" Crawford is likely the best welterweight around, and stopping "Showtime" Shawn Porter may have confirmed it. Terence Crawford is also one of the best fighters in the world, without question.
Kenny Porter's attempts to steal the spotlight aside, Crawford-Porter was good. It was very good, actually. And it was the apéritifs to an otherwise eventful boxing weekend.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, author Patrick Connor and boxing historian Aris Pina go through the ESPN PPV card and Friday's DAZN card headlined by Demetrius "Boo Boo" Andrade.

There can be little doubt that Terence "Bud" Crawford is one of the best fighters in boxing, but Shawn Porter isn't about to allow that claim to be chiseled in stone without violently disputing it.
Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter is a fine welterweight fight between two of the division's best. It might not be the fight most want, but as consolation prizes go, it's very good.
This week on the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, author Patrick Connor and Compubox operator/fight historian Aris Pina preview Crawford-Porter, plus the other important bouts this weekend, like Kali Reis vs Jessica Camara, Julio Cesar Martinez vs McWilliams Arroyo and Demetrius Andrade vs Jason Quigley.

Autum doesn't just mean colder weather, warmer clothes and leaves changing color. It's IBHOF season, or that time of year when International Boxing Hall of Fame voters submit their picks for who they believe should be inducted the following June in Canastota, New York.
There are a lot of boxing podcasts, but not many with two IBHOF voters.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, fight historians and IBHOF voters Patrick Connor and Aris Pina team up to justify their picks for the 2022 induction and run down a bit of the ballot.

Undefeated prospect Victor Morales, Jr. might only be 15-0 as a professional, but extensive amateur experience, the right connections and, most importantly, hard work, have placed him in a much better position than most.
The Pacific Northwest isn't often thought of as a boxing haven, even if it once was years ago. But there's talent in the PNW, and Victor Morales, Jr. is proof of that.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Victor joins Patrick Connor to discuss a handful of things between training sessions at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles.

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.
