Mike Tyson vs Donovan ”Razor” Ruddock Revisited

If there's one thing we love on the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, it's boxing history. We couldn't help but relive a bit more early 90s heavyweight action, this time between Mike Tyson and Donovan "Razor" Ruddock.
It was a funky time for the heavyweight division. And in the middle of all that, a post-championship Tyson battled Ruddock twice. Join us for some detailed Tyson-Ruddock action!

Marco Antonio Barrera vs Naseem Hamed Revisited

You wouldn't know it now, but in the late 1990s and going into 2001, "Prince" Naseem Hamed was a superstar in the U.K. and on the verge of really breaking into the U.S. boxing scene.
Then Marco Antonio Barrera happened.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Patrick Connor and Brin-Jonathan Butler remember the looming mega-stardom of Hamed and the night he ran into Barrera.

Riddick Bowe vs Andrew Golota I & II Revisited

The mid- and late-1990s brought on some hard-charging culture in the U.S., and boxing wasn't exempt. The heavyweight division went through plenty of changes throughout the 90s, until finally it seemed Riddick Bowe stood alone as likely the best around. Then the Andrew Golota fights happened in 1996.
There were brawls in the ring, melees outside of it, fouls, historic moments and more. Two fights acted as a sort of mirror for boxing and its fans, and many couldn't turn away.
Let's revisit te Riddick Bowe vs Andrew Golota fights!

Ike Ibeabuchi vs David Tua Revisited

Heavyweight boxing is considered the sport's crown jewel or pinnacle, but fight fans are used to sacrificing activity rate and sometimes nuance for the chance at seeing a big heavyweight taken down. Ike Ibeabuchi and David Tua combined to throw 1,730 punches against one another in 1997, however, and it was the kind of fight fans still talk about 25 years later.
A relatively sparse crowd in Sacramento watched as Ibeabuchi and Tua beat each other up. On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Patrick Connor and Brin-Jonathan Butler gave the fight another watch and offered up some background.

Naseem Hamed vs Kevin Kelley Revisited

It's difficult to believe 25 years have passed since "Prince" Naseem Hamed and "Flushing Flash" Kevin Kelley dazzled a Madison Square Garden crowd with a multiple-knockdown, four-round war. But that's how long it's been.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Aris Pina and Patrick Connor team up to relive and remember Hamed-Kelley. As an added bonus, the great co-feature between Kennedy McKinney and Junior Jones couldn't be forgotten.

Naoya Inoue, Japanese Boxing History, Terence Crawford & The Gloves

Often boxing gets slow in the final month of the year, but for some reason we have plenty to talk about: Naoya Inoue's continued dominance in the lower weights, his place in Japanese boxing history, Teófimo López's fortunate win over Sandor Martin, Terence Crawford... and those blasted gloves.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, it's a mixture of contemporary stuff and history that regular fans of the show should love.

Boxing History - Fighters Who Had the Antidote

First things first: Mills Lane was an honest referee and true boxing icon who will be missed, and a brief tribute was necessary.
As for the boxing history, sometimes fighters can't get past a certain opponent or have serious difficulty with a particular style. It's happened numerous times, perhaps most notably when Muhammad Ali struggled with Ken Norton three times.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Patrick Connor and Aris Pina remember fighters who simply had the antidote.

On November 30, 1979, three all-time greats fought on the same fight card when "Sugar" Ray Leonard defeated Wilfred Benítez for his first world title, and Vito Antuofermo kept his middleweight championship with a, uh, fortunate draw with Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

Evander Holyfield vs Bert Cooper Revisited

Calling boxing "The Theater of the Unexpected" might be cliché, but it's also true. Sometimes unexpected things happen, and every so often those unexpected things are awesome.
Such was the case with Evander Holyfield's fun heavyweight championship defense over "Smokin'" Bert Cooper. The fight's tale involves Mike Tyson, Rick "Elvis" Parker and more of boxing's best characters from the late 1980s and early 1990s.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Holyfield-Cooper finally has its day.

Boxing History - Jeff Merritt aka ”Candy Slim”

So many boxing figures have become literally cultural icons, if not veritable juggernauts. Don King is such a character, and he had to get his start somewhere.
In the early 1970s, Don King signed his first fighter Jeff Merritt, aka "Candy Slim," a troubled, hard-hitting heavyweight. You can probably already guess how that went.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Patrick Connor and Aris Pina team up to remember "Candy Slim."
