Knuckles And Gloves Boxing Radio

The heroes and legends of yesteryear are fading quickly, and the best we can do is remember them. Antonio Inoki, who recently died in Japan, rocketed to fame when he fought Muhammad Ali in 1976. But his influence on different combat sports around the world rippled far beyond that. On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Patrick Connor and Aris Pina welcome back Boxrec editor Grey Johnson to remember Inoki, Ali and what followed in the wake of Ali-Inoki. SUBSCRIBE!

Destiny, fate, predetermined future. Call it what you want, but many of the greatest fighters of all time were discovered early, seemingly guided to greatness by some unseen force.

Canelo Álvarez and Gennadiy "GGG" Golovkin met once more, and a definitive ending to their third fight means the sport of boxing gained another trilogy for the history books. A huge Canelo victory appeared imminent before Golovkin fought his way out of it a little, but Canelo remains the undisputed super middleweight champion. And "Bam" Rodríguez earned a win over Israel González to cap off a very, very good year. All this and more on this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast! SUBSCRIBE!

Sometimes when bad things happen in boxing, karma is seemingly to blame, or fighters simply can't help from getting into trouble. They're tales so common they're stereotypes at this point. Occasionally, though, fighters just run into rotten luck. Bad circumstances just find them. New York's Davey Moore fell into that unfortunate category. SUBSCRIBE!
