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.

Boxing legends
Barry Jones and Buncey are true boxing legends. Both men speak their truth, they do not take the knee to anyone. They speak with honesty one minute and can be hilarious the next minute.
