James "Buster" Douglas vs Mike Tyson Revisited

Even if you're not quite old enough to remember when James "Buster" Douglas upset Mike Tyson for the heavyweight championship back in 1990, you're almost certainly well aware that it was a massive upset. Just how massive? More than 30 years later, it's still held as a sports upset gold standard for many.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler team up to re-score, rehash and revisit "Buster" Douglas' defeat of Mike Tyson. The rise, the fall, the sparring, the "long count"... Let's do this.

LIVE From Prison: James Scott

Boxing was wild in the 1970s. And before that too, for that matter, but the sports opened new doors during the 70s, and one of those doors led to Rahway State Prison in New Jersey, where James Scott lived. And fought professionally.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, the boxing historian combo of Patrick Connor and Aris Pina discuss the life, crimes and career of James Scott.

Double Tragedy of Robert Quiroga vs Akeem Anifowoshe

It's said fighters often feel some kind of bond after a grueling fight, and fighters who go to war together are forever linked. Some fights, like Robert Quiroga vs Akeem Anifowoshe, 1991's "Fight of the Year," epitomize the idea that once two fighters lock horns and give pieces of themselves in a fight, nothing is ever the same afterward.
Robert Quiroga and Akeem Anifowoshe's stories both ended far earlier than they should have, and it's tough not to believe that their fight caused most of it.

Floyd Mayweather vs Oscar de la Hoya Revisited

Floyd Mayweather's victory over Oscar de la Hoya was a star-making performance, yet many seem to disagree with the final decision. That makes it a good fight to revisit and re-score.
There was also a small matter of Oscar de la Hoya's recent "documentary" to discuss. "The Golden Boy" recently debuted on HBO's streaming service, and might figure into the Mayweather-De la Hoya discussion more than previously realized.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, joint Patrick Connor and Brin-Jonathan Butler in reliving Mayweather-De la Hoya!
