Wilfredo Gómez, one of Puerto Rico's greatest fighters, has unfortunately fallen. In turn, the boxing world is offering various tributes to an exceptional fighter.

Recently we tackled the subject of rating 1990s Pay-Per-Views, but there was no possible way we could cover them all. A second part was needed, and this is that second part!

A few years ago, we all thought Pay-Per-Views could be a thing of the past in boxing. Unfortunately it seems they're here to stay.

Many boxing fans believe the 1990s was the heyday of boxing PPVs, so on this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves Podcast, boxing historians Patrick Connor and Aris Pina rate a number of PPV broadcasts from the loud, intense and colorful 90s.

Aurelio Herrera fought some of the best lower weight fighters of the late 1800s and early 1900s. He was tough, he could punch and he lived fast.

Herrera also had an interesting back story. Since he's a relatively unheralded fighter during a great period of boxing history, perhaps his story should be told.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historians Patrick Connor and Aris Pina team up again to remember Herrera and the characters like Terry McGovern, Battling Nelson and Abe Attell that he crossed paths with.
