Mike Steadman of Ironbound Boxing joins Rich and Lance in studio to talk about boxing in the naval academy, how POC have been told to conform to succeed, and opening Newark’s first and only nonprofit boxing gym for youth.

Rachel Washington joins Rich and Lance in the studio for this long-overdue episode. They talk about transitioning from performing arts to boxing, growing up with a pro football player father, and her upcoming fights in the Olympic trials.

Muay Thai practitioner and BJJ purple belt Chris Alfonso aka Puerto Rican Chris joins Rich and Lance in the studio. They talk about Chris’s time at American Top Team in Florida, picking up jiu-jitsu, being overweight before picking up martial arts, and his upcoming trip to Vegas for the IBJJF World Master Championship. They also foolishly try to watch the UFC during the recording. This one is all over the place, but it’s a good time!

On this episode, Rich and Lance are joined by amateur heavyweight boxer Ronnie Love. Ronnie talks about growing up with a boxing promoter mother, switching from football to the sweet science, and his journey to going pro. They also talk about training under the same shady coach and beating the hell out of tough guys in the gym.

On this episode, Rich is joined by....nobody. Just Rich and Lance working the boards. But Lance steps up, and the guys get into some interesting talk about drug testing, femininity in male-dominated sports, and more.

Big Sherm from the Let’s Be Real Sports podcast joins Rich in studio fresh off his first ever jiu-jitsu class! The guys talk about the popularity of MMA in the mainstream, interim belts, horses, and how the traditional ball sports grow compared to combat sports. Plus, Rich goes on a tangent about Hawaii.
