Mike Tyson is fighting Roy Jones, Jr. in September. It's an exhibition, whatever that means, but they're expected to throw punches at one another. When was the last time anyone thought this was a viable idea?
That means it's time to respond with that gif from Titanic where the old lady says, "It's been 84 years."
On this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian Patrick Connor and author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler reluctantly dissect the Tyson vs Jones matchup and ask most of the relevant questions. And also some questions that aren't relevant at all.

Many things seemed to follow Muhammad Ali in his heyday, from fans and adulation to scandals and hangers-on. In the late 1970s and early 80s, Ali's career began to wind down and his name had gotten perhaps too huge for him to oversee its use. That's where Harold Smith came in.
The Muhammad Ali Professional Sports promotional company was run directly into the ground by Smith, who ended up in prison.
On this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, Patrick Connor and Aris Pina detail the scandal and the history behind it.

This is usually the opening portion of the description with a broad statement about boxing and history and their relationship. What can we say? We love both boxing and history.
We also happen to love music, though, and in this episode we concentrate on boxing and its historical relationship with hip hop.
Joining the usual history-philes Patrick Connor and Aris Pina is Charlotte emcee Keyza Soulsay, a veteran both in hip hop and as a fight fan.

Not everyone can be a champion. Heck, not every fighter can even be relevant to a particular division. But there are and were fighters throughout boxing history who just seemed to be born into the wrong era.
There naturally will be some overlap of a discussion regarding the best fighters to never win world titles or championships and fighters born in the wrong era, but they're not quite the same.
This episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio features author and boxing historian Patrick Connor and CompuBox operator Aris Pina discussing those fighters who simply needed a time machine.

Not every fighter has raw knockout power. And some don't have much KO potential at all. Throughout boxing's history fighters have had to compensate for an abundance of one thing or a lack of another. A dearth of punching power often presents a unique challenge many special fighters have met head-on.
During this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian Patrick Connor and CompuBox operator Aris Pina join forces to remember some of history's feather-fisted pugilists.

Barring those averse to in-ring violence, just about everyone can appreciate a serious knockout. Even if it's only in the sense that you can't turn away despite wanting to, the kind of damage being done to another human is extreme. And knockouts tend to be entertaining.
On this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian and author Patrick Connor and Compubox operator Aris Pina once again team up, and this time to remember the stories behind some of the craziest knockouts in boxing history.
