    Episode 77: Almost Vintage Volkanovski

    Alexander Volkanovski showed there's plenty of class left in the old boy yet as he fought back the challenge of the hard-as-nails Diego Lopes. But how did he do it, and how did Lopes make a fight out of what seemed a whitewash after the first five minutes? For my analysis of the rest of UFC 314 head on over to the Combat Chronicles Patreon where a heap of exclusive content can be found, from incredibly detailed rankings of great fights, to audio documentaries, to up-to-date coverage of the biggest fights across all combat sports.

    Episode 75: Usyk beats Fury (again)

    Oleksandr Usyk is the man in boxing and undeniably one of the all-time greats. But how did he beat Tyson Fury this time, and what has contributed to the wildly differing opinions seen in the wake of this monumental victory? To hear even more of my thoughts on the legacy of Usyk and his ranking in the pantheons of not just all-time greats but the heavyweight 'G.O.A.T' discussion, please consider supporting the podcast via Patreon Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/combat-chronicles.

    Episode 73: Topuria vs. Holloway

    For me this fight was an instant classic and also the instant crowning of Ilia Topuria as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the sport. But why was Max Holloway able to combat what Ilia Topuria does well and how did the champion put together the shots that saw the Hawaiian knocked out for the first time in his career? All that, plus more! If you want to hear my thoughts about the rest of the card please check out the Combat Chronicles Patreon Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/combat-chronicles.

    Episode 72: Artur Beterbiev is the light heavyweight King

    After a closely-contested and utterly compelling 12 rounds, Artur Beterbiev narrowly beat Dmitry Bivol to annex his title and stand atop the light-heavyweight mountain as the one and only King! But how did he do it, and do Bivol backers have any weight to their claims the decision rendered being a dodgy one? And after this win, where does Artur Beterbiev sit among the elite pound-for-pounders? To hear my thoughts on the rest of the card head on over to the Combat Chronicles Patreon!

    Episode 71: Beterbiev vs. Bivol preview and prediction

    As if Usyk-Fury wasn't enough, Saudi sportswashing has come through for the fans again, as Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol put all the light-heavyweight titles on the line this coming Saturday! Will Beterbiev's sledgehammer punches get the job done or will Bivol have the beautiful boxing to halt the juggernaut? It's about as compelling a match-up on paper as you'll find in all of combat sports. And I've got a bold prediction! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/combat-chronicles. Hosted on Acast.
