We love huge, meaningful fights that everyone's been asking for. But let's face it: for every superfight we crave, we get umpteen fights that don't make much sense.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and fellow history expert Aris Pina discuss a number of fights from history that, for one reason or another, were uncalled for.

Many things about boxing can't quite be duplicated. One of them is the thrill of waiting for an unknown decision to be read. Adjacent to that is the mixture of anger and embarrassment felt as a fan when a bad decision is rendered.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and Compubox operator and historian Aris Pina team up to remember a number of decisions that got their hackles up.

Deontay Wilder, aka "The Bronze Bomber," is almost certainly at the end of his career. At the very least, he appears to be approaching the end very quickly. There can be no question that he often delivered entertainment and, in terms of his career, he over-performed.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor teams up with author and filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler to discuss Wilder's career and legacy.

Juan Francisco Estrada and Jesse "Bam" Rodríguez should be a high level super flyweight/junior bantamweight clash. Thankfully we've been able to follow the lower weight classes far more closely in recent years, and this fight should add to the legacy of the division.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and fellow historian/Compubox operator Aris Pina team up to preview Estrada vs Rodríguez, plus discuss some of the history of the super flyweight/junior bantamweight division.

Boxing has it all: great characters, tragedy, triumph, drama. But the sport is also packed full of knuckleheads. You know them. The fighters who couldn't keep from opening their mouths, couldn't stay out of trouble and so forth.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, we focused on the recent International Boxing Hall of Fame induction weekend and recent knuckleheads, which inspired more history-based knucklehead talk.

Heavyweight slugfests. There's just something about two large fighters wrecking one another that's so difficult to turn away from.

Deontay Wilder's heavyweight showdown with Zhilei Zhang features two heavy punchers among the big men, and while there are asterisks (which we discuss!), it could wind up being a heck of a fight.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, we preview Wilder-Zhang and remember a bunch of heavyweight slugfests.

Oleksandr Usyk is the new undisputed heavyweight champion. That sentence alone tells you what you need to know. There were other details, sure. Like how Tyson Fury put up a scrap, and how it was a great fight. And the locale was interesting.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor is joined by fellow history guru Aris Pina and author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler in recapping an excellent heavyweight championship fight.
