    New Faces - Part 1

Some names you'll recognize, some you may not. SUBSCRIBE! Follow us on social media!

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 show for a chat about "GGG" Golovkin, Antonio Tarver, Nigel Benn and much more.

    The Sad Case of Al Migliorato

    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. On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and fellow historian Aris Pina remember the career, life and sad exit of Migliorato. SUBSCRIBE!

    The Life and Career of Floyd "Jumbo" Cummings

    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. On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and fellow historian Aris Pina remember the life and career of Jumbo Cummings. SUBSCRIBE!

    Boxing's Mexico vs UK "Rivalry"

    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. On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor is joined by fellow historian Aris Pina in remembering many fights from this underrated tug of war. SUBSCRIBE!

    Favorite Title Challengers

    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 hapless pugs.
