It's not that often boxing gets massive fights, and even less often that they happen all the way down at lightweight. Gervonta "Tank" Davis and "King" Ryan Garcia meet in Las Vegas this weekend, and it's huge.
Patrick Connor and Aris Pina teamed up to preview the fight and talk about both fighters' careers to this point, plus give their picks.

Heavyweight eras, and entire eras of boxing itself, are often defined by a single, popular champion. "As the heavyights go, so goes boxing," they say.
But what happens when an entire generation is lost to oblivion because of decisions made by the champion?
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historians Patrick Connor and Aris Pina join forces to remember some Lost 1950s Heavyweights.

There are many memorable moments in even recent boxing history, but few, like when George Foreman regained the heavyweight championship over Michael Moorer in 1994, are the kind where you remember who you watched with, or where you were.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler team up to re-score the fight and remember some details.

The year is young, but we've already had a few fights that were far better than anticipated. In fact, the words "fight of the year contender" have already been uttered.
History is jammed full of fights that turned out way better than expected, and on this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Patrick Connor and Aris Pina remember several of them.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
