Hi. Some may be familiar from other social media platforms, some not.

I used to interact quite frequently, but shitty racists and bigots flock to combat sports like moths to a flame, and I'm firmly a leftist. So I don't interact much anymore.

Word up, have fun.
It's a boxing history podcast and the title is self-explanatory.

Are there other boxing history shows and podcasts? Sure. They're edited to fuck, but sure.

We brush our teeth with this stuff.

We keep losing fighters who made history. It's inevitable. We don't like it, but we'll do our best to eulogize some of them.

This is the ideal boxing poster. You may not like it, but this is what peak boxing poster art looks like.

The great Muhammad Ali scored a bloody stoppage of Henry Cooper while defending the heavyweight championship with a 6th round TKO at Arsenal Football Stadium in London, England #OnThisDay in 1966.

Usually I don't even like boxing movies, because they rarely nail the tone, and the movies that actually do go for a somber or realistic approach make stupid crap up rather than draw from actual insane and ludicrously absurd history stories.

"The Great White Hype" is a rare boxing flick I love 👇

I knew I was missing one of my KO Magazine issues. He should've asked first.

I grow older, I collect more boxing magazines, but one truth remains:

Don't ask for my attention if you don't ACTUALLY want it 😘😉

Really cool opportunity to contribute toward getting a really excellent boxing documentary into some U.S. and U.K. film festivals!

That gravelly voice doing narrating is me, sure. But I've gotten a look at the doc and it's objectively awesome.

Thank goodness for Corey Erdman bringing these people back to earth with his commentating. Claressa is having an easy time countering and they just keep taking about Perkins’ power

That was hilarious. Lacy was trying to get back into the ring and Moore grabbed him back

Boxing media people going after the Black fighter but not the white one who did the exact same thing is really weird*

*unless you view boxing media as a collection of stupidass racist meatballs, in which case it was incredibly predictable

As expected, venerable members of the boxing community dedicating hours to discrediting Jackie Tonawanda's hall of fame entrance years after her death on the basis of her being "a fraud" for a fudged record have nothing to say about Cat Davis, the white hall of fame lady who... fudged her record.

🗣 "[Sugar Ray Robinson] is the greatest I've ever seen in action. They will never get another one like him in the ring in 100 years. He had class all around."
