Over the decades, various boxing publications have had articles or pieces that featured young, up-and-coming fighters. Often those fighters ended up becoming world champions and famous contenders, but sometimes they didn't at all.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and fellow historian Aris Pina team up to comb through a number of "New Faces" features from boxing magazines past. Some...
Every year, writers, pundits and a smattering of fans get together to vote inductees into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York. As usual, the only boxing history podcast with two IBHOF voters had to weigh in on the ballot, their picks and the inductees.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historians Patrick Connor and Aris Pina welcome fellow historian and IBHOF voter Cliff Rold to the...
Boxing history and true crime overlap so much than a Venn Diagram of the two would look like a circle. Unfortunately boxing history is also filled with cases of fighters who just got unlucky or got hit by tragic fate.
Al Migliorato, 1970s and 80s heavyweight, was one such fighter.

Canelo Álvarez vs Terence Crawford is a fight few of us asked for before it was made. It took some time for us to warm up to it, but now that we have... you might be surprised by what we think is going to happen.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and fellow historian Aris Pina preview Canelo-Crawford before delving into some relevant fight history.

For most, the name Floyd "Jumbo" Cummings conjures up images of a hulking heavyweight who fought to a dubious draw with former champion "Smokin'" Joe Frazier in Frazier's last career bout. It goes without saying that he was more than that, and unfortunately he recently passed away without any fanfare and with few even noticing.

It's impossible to deny the more nationalistic or "tribal" appeal of boxing, and how common rooting for fighters who come from certain places is. Boxing (and other sports) have several different rivalries between countries, and lately it seems the México vs UK rivalry has been in boxing's spotlight.

The basic idea of boxing and titles is seeing a champion taking on the best-available challenger. That doesn't always happen. Sometimes it goes right, sometimes it goes wrong. But sometimes the challenger is just a character who needs to be remembered.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and fellow historian Aris Pina recall their favorite title challengers, from the characters to the...
We're back, and unfortunately once more it's to memorialize one of boxing's greats.

Being a fan of boxing, and especially of boxing history, means we have to sometimes contend with the deaths of our favorite fighters and fighters whose contributions to history were vast. Giovanni "Nino" Benvenuti was a popular champion and Italian hero, and he recently lost the one fight we all lose.

As boxing fans, we do our best to acknowledge fighters overall. But there's no question a small portion of fighters get the majority of the attention and accolades.

We haven't tried to hide the fact that we don't really like boxing movies. It's just too easy to mess up the tone and the action is too tough to replicate.
That's why "The Great White Hype" stands out as a boxing movie. It's an absurd movie about a sport that's equally absurd, and there are countless small moments and easter eggs for hardcore boxing fans.

Boxing is different. We all know that. We're allowed access into the lives of fighters in a way other sports don't provide with their athletes, and as a result we often feel as though we know them and are close to them. When we lose fighters, and especially fighters we cared for, it sure hurts.

In the wake of Gervonta "Tank" Davis being held to a controversial draw by Lamont Roach, referee Steve Willis' officiating is being heavily scrutinized.

Boxing and technology had been inseparable for more than a century when video games made their appearance, and after they did it stayed the same.
Over the last few decades, dozens of boxing video games have been released. Some have been excellent and stood the test of time, others... not as much.

Boxing media is in bad shape, and the way ballots and voting is decided with the International Boxing Hall of Fame epitomizes what current issues are. Frankly, the process seems to be at an icky nadir.
