Every so often in boxing we're shown that the invincible are beatable, and we see how easy it is for heroes to be knocked off their perches. Last weekend both Gennady Golovkin and Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez lost a little bit of their shine on HBO Pay-Per-View against Daniel Jacobs and Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, respectively. Golovkin, who narrowly beat Jacobs despite clearly having difficulty, was knocked down a peg in public opinion following a less-than-brutish performance. Whether or not he should be is a different story, but when the unexpected happens... In the co-feature, Sor Rungvisai managed to push around and out-muscle Gonzalez, the former pound-for-pound king. It was a close fight, but one many felt Gonzalez won. This week on Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, author and filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler and boxing writer/historian Patrick Connor team up to recap the PPV and more. Follow us on Twitter!

Boxing fans have asked for quality fights in 2016 and we have largely been denied them. Finally at the 11th hour we get Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward -- a matchup we've been eagerly anticipating since its announcement. There are a few other interesting things going on this week, but mostly we just need our fix of world class fighting. Kovalev and Ward are two of the best fighters in the world, and nobody seems to know for sure just what will happen when the bell rings on Saturday night's HBO Pay-Per-View.

So. 2016 has been not-so-fun for boxing thus far. We know, and we're sorry. But cheer up, because things aren't all bad and we have some worthwhile stuff coming up. For instance, this weekend Terence Crawford and Viktor Postol tangle in what figures to be an interesting fight, at least. It stinks that it's on HBO Pay-Per-View, but at least that gives us the option of buying or not. Those who want to watch will find a way to. There's much more, though, and Patrick Connor of The Fight City (and other places) will guide us all through. Once again joining the show this week is author and filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler. Also on the discussion agenda: Gennady Golovkin vs Kell Brook, Andre Ward vs Alexander Brand, Carl Frampton vs Leo Santa Cruz, Canelo vs Liam Smith, Brin's time spent with Ward recently, and more.

Let us hope that getting the leading "Knockout of the Year" candidate out of Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs Amir Khan was all worth it in the end. But for what it was, it sure got Canelo a heap of attention and leads him nicely into negotiations with Gennady Golovkin. This week on Top Men Boxing Radio, Patrick Connor of The Fight City (and a few other places) again flies solo and recaps the HBO Pay-Per-View main event. There was a bit more to get into, however, as rumors of a mysterious fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor took over social media for a day. Additionally, this week's ShoBox headliner pits two undefeated prospects against one another in Andrew Tabiti and Keith Tapia, and Dusty Hernandez Harrison fights Mike Dallas, Jr. on BET. Mr. Connor has you covered. Follow Patrick on Twitter: @PatrickMConnor and @BoxingHistory Top Men Boxing Radio on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMBRadio/ Rate us on iTunes Thanks for tuning in!

I'm all over the place this week =) I start by talking about boxing and how I get into it and my area of expertise (1987-2009) Cinco De Mayo is coming up! And we should celebrate something else if we don't connect with Cinco De Mayo's history. If you don't (I'm looking at you most of America) stop wearing sombreros and start celebrating the date in which the confederate government disbanded (May 5th!!!!!!) And also totally watch this 2007 HBO Pay Per View boxing match where Floyd Mayweather walks in with a sombrero on Cinco De Mayo. What the fuck right?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KhBzF6UX_0 So I have this weird ringing in my ear and it started a book club! I'm gonna make the book club episode in 2 weeks (I know I said one but we should all have a bit more time to reflect) It's called, "The Cay" and was written for kids, by an American in 1969 talking about a white kid and a black man trapped on an island in I believe 1911 or so. A historical goldmine basically! Buy it on Amazon or just go to a library, do it! You have 2 weeks and then we discuss! http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/044022912X/ref=sr_1_1_twi_mas_1_olp?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1461541545&sr=1-1&keywords=the+cay There will be a discussion post on my Facebook page as well! Don't read it if you don't want spoilers I would guess is the protocol on this!
