We haven't tried to hide the fact that we don't really like boxing movies. It's just too easy to mess up the tone and the action is too tough to replicate.

That's why "The Great White Hype" stands out as a boxing movie. It's an absurd movie about a sport that's equally absurd, and there are countless small moments and easter eggs for hardcore boxing fans.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor is joined by fellow historian Aris Pina in going over the movie and its many great moments. Let's go!

Boxing is different. We all know that. We're allowed access into the lives of fighters in a way other sports don't provide with their athletes, and as a result we often feel as though we know them and are close to them. When we lose fighters, and especially fighters we cared for, it sure hurts.

On this episode of the Knuckes and Gloves podcast, boxing historians Patrick Connor and Aris Pina team up to remember former heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist "Big" George Foreman, and give a brief tribute to Ras-I Alujah Bramble, better known as Livingstone Bramble.

May they both rest well forever.

It's Halloween month, and while some don't celebrate, many embrace the fun and zany culture that usually comes along with the holiday.

Some fighters also partake by wearing costumes to the ring or performing fun ring walks. And on this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and Compubox operator/fellow historian Aris Pina remember several such fighters.
