LIVE From Prison: James Scott

Thursday Feb 01, 2024

Thursday Feb 01, 2024

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.

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'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!

Terence Crawford is a magnificent fighter. No need to qualify anything or compare him historically to any fighter from the past. He may truly stand alone as the greatest fighter of his era, and his domination of Errol Spence, Jr. sure seems to back that idea up.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Patrick Connor and Aris Pina express their gratitude for a wonderful week of boxing punctuated by Terence Crawford.
