Showtime Boxing

Diego Corrales' 10th round TKO win over Jose Luis Castillo in 2005 is arguably the greatest fight of the modern era; 15 years on, Eric and Kieran recall their memories of that classic night and talk in depth with one of its central figures, Corrales' trainer Joe Goossen.

Kieran and Eric talk to promoter Dmitry Salita and heavyweight contender Otto Wallin about dealing with COVID-19, and take a trip back to 1994 with Steve Farhood as they look back on the classic Showtime pay-per-view, "Revenge: The Rematches."

With live boxing on hiatus, Eric and Kieran begin a series of looks back at classic fight cards. This week, Ross Greenburg, Leonard Ellerbe and Brian Campbell join the pod to discuss the massive March 5, 2007 clash between Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya. Plus, we discuss Mike Tyson's tiger-owning regrets, Japan's boxing restart attempts, and the prospect of a mouth-watering Hall of Fame induction class in 2021. 

We're Making Bread with Breadman, as Stephen 'Breadman' Edwards joins us for a conversation on a variety of topics including how boxers should be training in a time of self-isolation, and how Deontay Wilder can beat Tyson Fury. And we answer listeners' questions: who are our favorite boxers, past and present, whom casual fans may not know? Who is the best super middleweight of all time? And more.

Stephen Espinoza, Showtime President of Sports and Event Programming, 

joins the podcast for a wide-ranging discussion on the network's boxing 

programming, the challenges posed by sporting events being shut down 

worldwide, and the possible bright future that awaits when normal 

service is resumed. Also, Eric and Kieran look back at some of the best 

two-fight rivalries in boxing history, puzzle over the latest Tyson Fury 

controversy, and acknowledge the passing of Roger Mayweather.

COVID-19 has laid waste to the boxing landscape, and boxing is no exception. But ShoBox went ahead behind closed doors, and Kieran and Eric discuss Brandun Lee's KO win, the rest of the card, and the impact of coronavirus on the sweet science and the wider world.

Showtime Boxing commentator Al Bernstein joins the show to preview a pair of upcoming Showtime boxing broadcasts, discuss ongoing Fury-Wilder fallout, and talk about fighters who keep getting chances and fighters who get mad at broadcasters. Also: a heavyweight upset in Brooklyn, and does Canelo finally have his Cinco de Mayo dance partner?

This week we take a look at the ever evolving heavyweight division and what's next for Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. We welcome "Stitch" Duran, cut man for Tyson Fury and legend in the business. We also recap Friday night's Shobox card, including Genc Pllana's upset of Kevin Newman II, as well as the return of Mikey Garcia and the legendary "Chocolatito".

Tyson Fury is your new WBC Heavyweight Champion as he battered Deontay Wilder until his corner threw in the towel in the 7th round. The one and only Roy Jones joins us to discuss the fight as well as his fighter, Kevin Newman will be in action on ShoBox this Friday night at 10pm on Showtime. We are also joined by UK Boxing News Editor Matt Christie to talk Fury over Wilder and the fact that the UK has all the belts!

The time for talk is almost over, but until then, we have a lot to say about the biggest heavyweight fight of this generation, Wilder vs Fury II.  Former middleweight champ and Fury cousin and trainer Andy Lee joins us to weigh in on Saturday night's big fight.  

We also cover all of last weekend's action, including Caleb Plant, Ryan Garcia, ShoBox and more.
