The Knuckles and Gloves podcast has been around for more than seven years, albeit with a few name changes. We just love talking boxing.
After a prolonged hiatus, boxing is back. Devin Haney cruised to a decision victory over Yuriorkis Gamboa, Luis Ortiz kind of bombed out Alexander Flores and Layla McCarter also came back from a while away from the ring. And this weekend Terence Crawford takes on Kell Brook.
Aris Pina and Patrick Connor tackle it all, plus a live reaction to the WBC announcement of a "Bridgerweight" division.

After a huge boxing weekend like the one we just had, we had to have a special guest drop in.
Gervonta "Tank" Davis scored a huge KO of Leo Santa Cruz at 130 pounds, and former 130-pound champion Steve "2 Pound" Forbes joined Patrick Connor in offering his take on the Showtime PPV win and Naoya Inoue's victory on ESPN. We'll call this "2 Pound's 2 Cents."
Don't worry, there's some recapping of Oleksandr Usyk's win over Dereck Chisora and Jaime Munguia's win over Tureano Johnson too.

A brief glance at boxing's pay structure makes it seem like a great way to make a quick buck. The problem is, it's really not.
Boxing's history is littered with the carcasses those who tried to dabble in boxing promotion and management and failed for one reason or another. For some, the failure wasn't necessarily their fault and came about through sheer back luck. Others might have had bad karma repaid.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and Compubox operator Aris Pina remember many of the people who tried their hand at promoting or managing in boxing and didn't quite have the staying power.

The year is closing out so strong they're making it tough to complain about what a wreck the rest has been.
There's Chocolatito Gonzalez's win over Israel Gonzales and Juan Francisco Estrada's win over Carlos Cuadras last weekend, and then Naoya Inoue, Oleksandr Usyk, Gervonta Davis and Jaime Munguia are all featured this weekend. It's sickening. In a good way.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio podcast, Patrick Connor breaks down last weekend's action and offers up brief previews of everything this weekend.

The annual International Boxing Hall of Fame voting season is here, and the Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio podcast just happens to have two hosts with votes!
Being fortunate enough to vote for the IBHOF is an honor, and this year, just like last, the ballot is heavy indeed. How do we even know which way to vote?
Luckily on this episode of Knuckles and Gloves, Patrick Connor and Aris Pina go over the 2021 IBHOF ballot, after a discussion about Teofimo Lopez, Jr.'s win over Vasiliy Lomachenko.

Now that we know the Teofimo Lopez, Jr. vs Vasiliy Lomachenko lightweight unification on ESPN was a success, we can breathe a little easier having gotten a bigger fight we'd considered pre-COVID out of the way. And it was also a solid fight, which helped greatly.
While Vasiliy Lomachenko certainly dropped the ball, we have to give credit to Teofimo Lopez, Jr. for his performance. Boxing has a new lightweight king and for now he's calling the shots.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler join forces to discuss the Lopez-Lomachenko clash, its meaning, the result, that scorecard!!! and more.

Looking for a quick preview of Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Teofimo Lopez? We got you covered.
Lomachenko vs Lopez is easily the most-anticipated fight of 2020 and it's finally here, even if a large part of the event is taking place in "The Bubble" in Las Vegas. Look, 2020 is weird.
But on this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor delivers a bried solo breakdown of the bout.

We know we somewhat recently did a show talking about the greatest African fighters of all time, but we needed to focus in on individual countries like South Africa, which has an incredibly rich boxing history.
There's Thulani Malinga, Vuyani Bungu, Jake Matlala, Brian Mitchell, Gerrie Coetzee and so forth, yes. But for every one of those names recognizable to "Western" fight fans was a Joe "Axe Killer" Ngidi, a Nkosana Mgxaji or Maxwell Malinga, who most boxing fans around the world have never heard of, but were nonetheless incredibly popular in South Africa.
On this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian Patrick Connor and Compubox operator Aris Pina speak about South Africa's history with apartheid, how that affected its boxing, the development of the Sun City resort and, of course, the boxing itself.

It's no coincidence boxing is so easy to use as a basis for all kinds of art. From ancient paintings and sculptures, to music, writing and film, boxing has gone through it all.
But with film specifically, boxing has not only been at the forefront of film innovation historically, but it's also arrived at film's pinnacles, with boxing films winning the most prestigious awards artound.
On this episode of Knuckles and Gloves, Patrick Connor and Brin-Jonathan Butler discuss many of boxing's themes and remember much of its history.

Sometimes a person just has to admit when they're wrong. Like the time we 1. didn't properly break down or cover the fights on the Showtime Pay-Per-View Charlo Doubleheader, and 2. said the $75 price tag wouldn't be worth it.
It was worth it.
Jermell Charlo scored a highly memorable knockout of Jeison Rosario, Jermall Charlo went to war with Sergiy Derevyanchenko. Luis Nery, Daniel Roman and Brandon Figueroa triumphed over Aaron Alamedo, Juan Carlos Payano and Damien Vazquez, respectively. John Riel Casimero defeated unbeaten Duke Micah. A grand time was had by all.
On this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, writer and fight historian Patrick Connor rolls solo for a shorter show.
