Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury Preview

Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury might not be the heavyweight fight boxing wants, but perhaps it's the heavyweight fight boxing deserves. We're not sure how that whole analogy goes, so that might not be right either. But we do know Wilder-Fury is the fight we're getting. And it's this weekend.
So this week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, author and filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler joined boxing historian Patrick Connor to talk about the time he spent in Wilder's camp. But there's also discussion about Adonis Stevenson vs Oleksandr Gvozdyk, Manny Pacquiao vs Adrien Broner and more.

Terence Crawford vs Jose Benavidez Recap, Canelo to DAZN

Not only did Terence Crawford dominate and stop Jose Benavidez last weekend, but over 2 million people tuned in to watch it on ESPN. Paired with recent news that Saul "Canelo" Alvarez signed to fight on DAZN, this sounds like great news for the sport of boxing and it's immediate future.

Boxing History - HBO Boxing Tribute

Many people in boxing circles had speculated for months, if not years, that HBO would be tapering down its boxing programming to zero at some point. After the recent announcement that HBO would no longer be consistently invested in boxing, those people were more or less proven correct.
This week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, CompuBox operater Aris Pina joins fellow fight history fanatic Patrick Connor in remembering some of HBO Boxing's greatest -- and worst -- moments. From HBO Boxing's beginning, clear on into its peak and the proliferation of Pay-Per-View fight cards and onto much more, HBO has been played an essential role in boxing for 45 years. It deserves some remembrance.

Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin Recap

Anthony Joshua is probably the best heavyweight in the world. Probably. And his stoppage victory over Alexander Povetkin went a long way in backing that suggestion up.
After several rounds of a difficult fight, Joshua finally came through with a combination that stole Povetkin's legs and handed him his first stoppage loss. It remains to be seen what comes of Deontay Wilder's showdown with Tyson Fury, but the winner should be turned toward Joshua to determine supremacy.
This week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, join author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler and boxing historian Patrick Connor in discussing Joshua-Povetkin, the possibility of a huge bout with the Wilder-Fury winner and more!
 

Saul Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin II Recap

It is done. Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs Gennady "GGG" Golovkin is finished and there's plenty of fresh controversy to talk about. It just wouldn't be boxing if there weren't.
Following another entertaining clash between Alvarez and Golovkin, many appear to believe the latter deserved to win the close decision that was afforded Canelo. But it has to be conceded that this was another close bout with many tough, contentious rounds.
In this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian Patrick Connor joins author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler in rehashing the fight the morning after.
How SHOULD the fight have been scored? Will there be a third meeting between the two? Where can either fighter go from here? We'll try to answer all of these questions and more. Join us!

Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury Announcement, Frampton-Jackson Recap

Tyson Fury is more or less back. Perhaps less, but we'll just have to see.
Fury dominated Francesco Pianeta en route to a 10 round points decision last weekend, but the much bigger news is that a fight with American title-holder Deontay Wilder is official. It's a big heavyweight fight, and at worst intriguing.
In the main event, Carl Frampton stopped Luke Jackson in nine rounds amid a great atmosphere.

Special Guests Steve ”2 Pound” Forbes and Christina Lunzman

There has only been one boxing card in Portland, Oregon in the last 12 years. This past December, former super featherweight champion Steve Forbes and co-promoter Christina Lunzman organized a five-fight card under their promotional banner, 2 Pound Sports & Entertainment. Headlined by Tacoma, Washington-based cruiserweight prospect Marquice Weston, the event proved that boxing was welcome in the Rose City.
It's been a few months, but on August 25th, 2 Pound Sports & Entertainment returns to the Jackson Armory for another five-fight card.
On a special edition of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian Patrick Connor welcomes Forbes and Lunzman to the show to discuss 2 Pound's "Fight Night 2," The Contender, the future of boxing in Portand and the Pacific Northwest and more.
