Episode 5 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms might be the best episode yet. The cinematography is 10/10. The writing is tight. But what really stood out was something deeper: power, morality, and what I call “accidental Christianity.”

In this breakdown, I explore:

• Why trial by combat only works if there’s an objective moral law above kings
• How “might makes right” collapses without something higher to appeal to
• The cycle of vengeance vs. Matthew 5 (eye for an eye vs. turn the other cheek)
• C.S. Lewis’ argument from desire and the longing for a better country
• Dunk’s redemption arc and the “strong man” passage in Luke 11

This isn’t just a review. It’s philosophy, theology, and storytelling analysis.

Am I reaching — or does great art always point upward?

uffa Boxing just launched and I have mixed feelings. The fights were solid and the matchmaking worked, but the production felt corporate and almost dystopian in a way I can’t ignore. In this episode, I break down what Zuffa Boxing actually represents for fighters, fans, and the future of the sport.

I explain why more promotions can mean more leverage for boxers, how spreading money across the card could raise the floor for undercard fighters, and why Dana White’s UFC model might completely reshape boxing. I also get into the subscription problem, the fragmentation of boxing, the lack of stars in 2026, and whether boxing even wants stars anymore.

I talk fighter pay, sustainability, the Paramount Plus deal, Callum Walsh, Robert Garcia’s stable, and whether Zuffa can really fix boxing’s biggest structural problems.

Is this the future of boxing… or the beginning of something too corporate and controlled?

Drop your thoughts in the comments.

Episode 2 of the FOF Podcast looks at leverage in boxing and how it shapes fight negotiations, contracts, enforcement, and weight classes.

The episode begins with the public negotiation dispute between Eddie Hearn and Oscar De La Hoya and uses it as a case study for how boxing fights are actually made. It breaks down the roles of promoters, managers, and contracts, why assigning blame to one person is usually incorrect, and how leverage determines outcomes more than hype.

The conversation then shifts to the Muhammad Ali Act, enforcement in boxing, and how institutions function when rules exist but are not consistently applied.

In the second half, the episode explores the debate around weight bullying in modern boxing. It looks at how day before weigh ins changed the sport, where size advantages begin to matter, and how skill and leverage intersect inside the ring.

This episode connects business, law, and competition to explain how leverage operates across every level of boxing.
