Boxing’s Keyser Söze
Barry Jones joins Buncey to pick through the bones of an extraordinary fight in New York at the weekend. They question whether Ryan Garcia pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes with his antics in the build-up to the fight with Devin Haney, which saw him floor his opponent three times on his way to a majority points win. They take a deep dive into the build-up and analyse why Garcia proved to be too good on the night.

My one constant
I’ve been listening for around 5 years now. I’ve actually been travelling the world the last three years and the podcast has been played in every country, whenever I could find some WiFi. I probably hear your voices more often than friends and family back in the UK. I had always been a boxing fan, maybe slightly guilty of being a big fight fan in the past. However, thanks to the insight, knowledge and general enjoyment of listening to the pod I’ve grown into a boxing fanatic watching every single fight I can get my hands on. Keep up the good work team, I’ll be here, patiently refreshing my feed waiting for the next pod to pop up.
Excellent Pod
Really appreciate the love you two clearly have for the sport. Big, big fan of the dynamic between you and you did a great job on the UFC summary. I’m a big boxing & MMA fan and really enjoyed how you put across the differences between the two without siding on one over the other. That is such a rarity. You should definitely look into ‘Inside The Octagon’ with Dan Hardy. One of the most well put together analysis shows in absolutely any sport. Also, I know it’s a bit late but would love to hear some more of Andy Lee on the show, he was superb during the breakdown of the Fury fight last year.
