Tom and Tyler Talk Boxing

On this edition of Tom and Tyler Talk Boxing, we look back at one of Tom's amateur fighters, look ahead to an MMA Fighter Tom is working with, and then dive into the topic of defense. Why just parry, roll with punches and block? The elbow is an under used weapon and Tom Yankello tells you how to use it.

World class trainer Tom Yankello and boxing fan Tyler Curtis are joined by 2018 165 lb. National Golden Gloves Champion Kiante Irving. They talk about Irving winning the Golden Gloves title and what his next step in the game will be. They talk about his weight cut down from 178 to 165, what his advantages are against his opponents and if he will turn pro or look toward the 2020 Olympics? Then Tom and Tyler talk about the state of the game. Will boxing ever be major again in America? Should boxing add more judges? Should bad decisions be overturned after the fact? Should fights be 11 rounds, 13 rounds, 15 rounds, or stay 12 with a tiebreaker? Is the money era over? Are fighters going to fight each other again? Will the 0 not matter as much?
