Podcast appearances and mentions of Leon Spinks

Boxing lost one of its finest when James Cook, a truly beautiful human being, was taken from us far too soon. We pay tribute. Fabio Wardley came through what threatened to be a sobering homecoming at Portman Road to demolish Justis Huni with a single shot. What did that fight say about those two heavyweights? The retirements of Vasiliy Lomachenko and Delicious Orie are up for discussion as we examine the brutal yet addictive nature of the sport.

No dia 3 de junho de 2016 morreu, aos 74 anos, o lendário ex-lutador de boxe Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., mais conhecido como Muhammad Ali. Um porta-voz da família informou que a causa da morte foi um choque séptico devido a causas naturais não especificadas. No início da década de 1980, o atleta havia sido diagnosticado com a doença de Parkinson. Nascido em 17 de janeiro de 1942, Ali foi o primeiro lutador a conquistar o título dos pesos-pesados três vezes. Venceu 56 vezes em seus 21 anos de carreira profissional. Foi eleito "O Desportista do Século" pela revista americana Sports Illustrated em 1999. Ele também era bastante atuante em causas humanitárias. Clay conquistou seu primeiro título mundial em 25 de fevereiro de 1964 ao bater o então campeão dos pesos-pesados Sonny Liston. Antes da luta, ele prometeu "flutuar como uma borboleta, picar como uma abelha", prevendo o nocaute. Quando foi coroado com o título, Clay gritou: "Eu sou o maior!". Pouco tempo depois, Clay confirmou os rumores de sua conversão ao Islã. Em 6 de março de 1964, ele mudou o seu nome para Muhammad Ali. Com a Guerra do Vietnã em curso, Ali foi intimado a se apresentar às Forças Armadas dos EUA em 28 de abril de 1967. Citando suas crenças religiosas, ele se recusou. Ali foi preso, e a Comissão Atlética do Estado de Nova York suspendeu imediatamente a sua licença de boxe, revogando o seu cinturão dos pesos pesados. Condenado por evasão de divisas, Ali recebeu uma pena de cinco anos de prisão e uma multa de US$ 10 mil. Ele permaneceu livre enquanto fazia apelação da sua condenação. Banido do boxe por três anos, Ali se manifestou contra a Guerra do Vietnã em várias ocasiões. No dia 3 de fevereiro de 1970, o lutador convocou uma coletiva de imprensa para anunciar que estava deixando o boxe. Em dezembro de 1970, a Suprema Corte do Estado de Nova York ordenou que ele recebesse novamente sua licença de boxe, e, no ano seguinte, a Suprema Corte dos Estados Unidos derrubou sua condenação em uma decisão unânime. Desta maneira, Clay mudou de ideia em relação à aposentadoria e voltou aos ringues. Em 8 março de 1971, teve oportunidade de recuperar sua coroa de campeão dos pesos-pesados na luta contra o campeão Joe Frazier, no que foi chamada de "Luta do Século". O invicto Frazier derrotou Ali, que sofreu a sua primeira derrota como profissional. A recuperação do título aconteceu somente no dia 30 de outubro de 1974, quando Ali, então com 32 anos, enfrentou o então campeão George Foreman, com 25 anos. A luta em Kinshasa, Zaire (atual Congo), foi apelidada de "Rumble in the Jungle". Ali venceu por nocaute no oitavo round e recuperou o título tirado dele sete anos antes. Em 15 de fevereiro de 1978, Ali perdeu o título para Leon Spinks. Sete meses depois, Ali derrotou Spinks em uma decisão unânime em uma luta de 15 rounds para recuperar a coroa dos pesos-pesados. O atleta se aposentou em 1981. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/malhete-podcast/message

In this retrospective Podcadst, Mike Goodpaster delves into the intriguing journey of Scott LeDoux, a heavyweight boxer from the 1980s who unexpectedly earned a shot at the WBC Heavyweight Championship against Larry Holmes. LeDoux's notoriety grew as he displayed explosive behavior on national television, catching the attention of Howard Cosell and the public. He had a history of clashes with familiar adversaries, as seen in his surprising attack on Johnny Boudreaux during an interview. Despite his exclusion from Don King's roster, LeDoux continued to compete against Duane Bobick and Olympic gold medalist Leon Spinks, often falling short in critical moments. His split decision loss to Ron Lyle left many believing he deserved victory. However, LeDoux's resilience showed in subsequent fights, including a draw with Ken Norton and a win against Marty Monroe. While the path to his title contention was complex, LeDoux's determination and boxing skills played a significant role in his remarkable journey. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-a-goodpaster/support

On the latest show, a guilty plea for a multi-division world champ has his future uncertain.

We explore one of the most charismatic characters that we've ever heard of, combined with a private life that can easily be described as "chaos". He has more wrap sheets than you can count, but one thing remains true, he's a self-destructive, but very nice person. An Olympic gold medallist, he became heavyweight champion of the world, in only his eighth fight, and from that moment on things went downhill at an almighty pace. He had his teeth stolen, multiple times. But there is one part of him that is incredibly impressive, and it's not his right hand! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What is a Confidence Man? Examples of cons – Spanish Prisoner, ponzi scheme, landlord, False Good Samaritan, 3 card monte Famous Cons – Ponzi Scheme, Brooklyn Bridge, Madoff, FTX Crypto Sell Brooklyn Bridge – George C Parker https://history.howstuffworks.com/historical-figures/conman-sold-brooklyn-bridge.htm Parker was so good at his job that he managed to "sell" the Statue of Liberty, Madison Square Garden, Ulysses S. Grant's tomb, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as four lots in City Hall Park for $25,000. But he couldn't avoid getting caught, and he went to jail several times for larceny, forgery, and impersonating a police officer.   False Good Samaritan There might not be any simpler or more ancient con than the so-called “false Good Samaritan”. It usually involves a team of two con men working in tandem, and the victim is usually a lone person walking a city street at night. The first con man approaches the person and mugs them, stealing their wallet or purse and taking off down the street. The second con man, posing as a passerby, will give chase to the mugger, tackle them, and get back the wallet. The mugger, of course, always manages to escape during the fray. The false Good Samaritan will then return the wallet or purse to the mark, who will have been witness to the entire performance. The hope is that the grateful victim will repay the con man for his help with some kind of cash reward, which they can then split with the mugger later on. When sold correctly and performed on the right kind of person, this con is capable of earning the grifters even more money than they would have ever gotten from just keeping the stolen wallet. Spanish Prisoner / Nigerian Prince Ever gotten one of those junk e-mails from a person claiming to be a Nigerian Princess in need of quick cash? If so, then you're familiar with the Spanish Prisoner, which is a classic form of “advance fee fraud” that attempts to trick unsuspecting marks by promising them a big payday down the road. The scam dates all the way back to the early 1900s, when it was often used against wealthy businessmen. This is how it would go down: after gaining his mark's trust, a con man would intimate that he was in correspondence with the family of a fabulously wealthy person of high social class who was being imprisoned in Spain for a crime they didn't commit. Fearing scandal, the prisoner has not released his name or case to the public, and is relying on private means to generate the money to secure his release. With this in mind, the mark would be told that any money he contributed to help in the cause would be paid back with huge interest down the road. In some variations, it would even be implied that the person would get to marry the Spanish Prisoner's beautiful daughter. Naturally, any money the victim gave would inevitably disappear, and when possible the con man would even try and get his victim to contribute more cash by telling them that a daring rescue attempt needed to be funded. Ponzi Scheme / Pyramid Scheme If  current events have proven anything, it's that there is no more potentially profitable con game than the Ponzi scheme. The trick dates back hundreds of years, but it was popularized by Charles Ponzi, an Italian immigrant to the U.S. who swindled investors out of millions in the early 1900s before being arrested. The modern Ponzi scheme is a form of investment fraud in which a fake or corrupt stockbroker uses the money of his new investors to pay the imaginary returns of his old ones. Initial investments with the fake broker might yield enormous returns for the people being conned, but in reality their money has not been invested in anything–the con man has simply been putting it all into a bank account. Any time someone wants to withdraw money, or if he has to pay the returns of his old investors, the con man simply uses the money he's gotten from new investors to do it. Nothing is actually being invested, won, or lost in the market. The con man is simply giving that impression so that people keep handing over more and more cash. Because it can only grow so far, any Ponzi scheme is destined to eventually collapse under its own weight, so the con man usually pulls a disappearing act after collecting enough money, leaving the investors with nothing but the fake returns they received to keep them involved in the swindle. Undoubtedly the most famous recent example involved Bernard Madoff, a New York financier who engineered a Ponzi scheme estimated to be in the neighborhood of $65 billion. Madoff was eventually caught and sentenced to 150 years in prison, but not before pulling of what is essentially the biggest con game of all time. Three Card Monte One of the classic short cons, three-card monte is a card game that uses sleight of hand and trickery to swindle victims out of small amounts of cash. It's one of the oldest cons around, and dates back to “the shell game,” a similar scheme that was popular during the Middle Ages. The game itself is deceivingly simple. Three cards are placed faced down on a flat surface, usually two black jacks and a red queen. The dealer shows the players the red queen, and then proceeds to thoroughly shuffle the cards to make it difficult to tell where it is. Players then bet on whether they can pick the queen out of the three cards. It sounds easy enough, but the game is more or less impossible to beat, because a good dealer can use sleight of hand to switch the cards at will, and can easily decide who wins or loses. In more sophisticated set ups, the whole game is a fake, and the other supposed “players” are in on the con. One of these conspirators will approach the mark and pretend to give them inside information on how to beat the game, enticing them to make a larger bet. Since street gambling is quite clearly illegal, any time a victim begins to suspect the game might be a cheat, the con men simply pretend to see the police coming, pack up their game, and make a break for it. Wire Game Made famous by the movie The Sting, the wire game was a complex fraud that required a large group of con men to work in concert in order to pull it off. The group of grifters would open up a fake “wire store,' which is a kind of bookie where bets could be placed on horse races. A victim, usually a man of considerable wealth, would then be brought in and given some fake insider information that a particular horse was a sure thing to win the race. If the con men sold the mark well enough, the hope was that they would place a huge bet with the fake bookie at the wire store. From here, the con can go any number of ways, but in the most popular version some sort of mistake occurs, or confusion over the outcome of the race (which, of course, never actually took place) leads to the bet being declared a loss for the hapless victim. Embarrassing Check The embarrassing check con is a well-known means of legally getting money from victims by playing off of their innate feelings of shame. The con men open a fake business with an overtly explicit title that supposedly sells sex toys or other pornographic material, but buyers are told that any purchases they make will be routed through a separate company with a much more innocuous name. After taking orders and collecting payments, the company then sends out letters explaining that a shipping error or some other issue has made it impossible for them to deliver on their product. They enclose a legitimate check refund, only this time the highly graphic name of the company is clearly emblazoned on the check, the idea of course being that a certain percentage of the customers will be too ashamed or embarrassed to ever cash it. Fiddle Game / Ring Game Many of the best cons work because of the inherent greed of the person being tricked, and the fiddle game is one of the best examples. It requires two con men to work, and is designed to take place in a restaurant. One of the con men poses as an old man eating dinner. When he gets his bill, the man approaches the owner and explains that he forgot his wallet back at his hotel. He promises to go get it, and as collateral leaves behind an old fiddle or violin, explaining that he is a traveling musician and that it is his sole source of income. After the old man leaves, a second con man who has been sitting nearby approaches the owner and asks to see the fiddle, saying that he is a dealer in rare instruments. After inspecting the fiddle, the man pronounces it a highly rare and valuable piece of work, worth thousands of dollars. He then pretends to be in a hurry and leaves, but not before giving the mark his card and telling him to call if the man is interested in selling. The old man will return shortly thereafter with the money for his meal. If the con men have sold the trick well enough, the victim, believing that he will be able to sell it to the fake instrument dealer for a huge profit, will attempt to buy the fiddle off of the old man for a few hundred dollars. Of course, the number on the card will prove to be a fake, and the victim will inevitably be left with a worthless violin. Landlord Sometimes real estate can be more valuable than gold. That's the premise of the Landlord Scam, in which a con artist assumes control of a vacant or abandoned home, and then advertises the property for an especially attractive price point. The unsuspecting victim rents the property from the con artist, who collects a security deposit as well as the first and last months' rent, and then disappears. In some cases, the con artist may even rent the same property to multiple victims, leading to mass confusion (and a couple of fistfights) on moving day.   https://www.toptenz.net/top-10-con-games.php Top 10 Con Games Explained By EVAN ANDREWS September 16, 2009 / Updated:March 26, 2019     Famous Con Artists: Charles Ponzi - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Ponzi Bernie Madoff - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Madoff SBF – FTX Crypto / Alameda  - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Bankman-Fried       Seg. 2 – Psychology of a Con Why do people fall for cons? What con artists prey on, psych traits of victims More examples of cons, and how mark plays into it   Grifters: The 7 Psychological Principles That Con Artists Use Distraction – Attention is like spotlight, which means when it's pointing in one direction it pretty much ignores everything else. Except people don't realise how little information coming in from the outside world we actually process.Naturally you don't notice what you don't notice, plus the mind is designed to fill in the gaps for us. But con artists do know and almost every con uses some kind of distraction. The classic example is ‘Three-card Monte‘ sometimes called ‘Find the Lady', a rigged card game in which the aim is to find one card out of three after the grifter shuffles them around. At the heart of this hustle is the orchestration of a crowd of onlookers who the mark (that's you and me) thinks are all fellow punters, but who are actually in on the game.- aka: polite mugging   Social Compliance - The classic study showing how compliant we are, especially when told to do things by an authority figure, is known as the Milgram experiment. Grifters know all about this and happily exploit our automatic deference to authority figures. People will hand over credit cards to people they think are waiters, car keys to people they think are car park attendants Herd Principle - People are sheep: they can't help following each other. The classic study, known as the Asch conformity experiment was conducted by Solomon Asch in the 1950s showing that people will deny evidence from their own eyes to fit in with others. In the Three-card Monte con, the crowd of shills around the game creates the herd for the mark to follow. Online there are all kinds of tricks people can use to make others think there is a herd when actually there is only one person. The practice of ‘astroturfing' means creating multiple online identities to fake grass-roots support for a politician.In peer-to-peer networks the multiple identities created by people trying to influence them are known as Sybils. Whether online or offline, though, group psychology exerts an enormous influence over us.   Exploit other's dishonesty - Fear is the mind-killer. Con artists know that people are fearful and play on this fact. Some cons involve selling goods to marks that are used for illegal purposes.Marks are discouraged from reporting the scam because they would be implicating themselves and the grifter wins both ways.   Deception - People are easily tricked, even when they think they are being careful. Grifters take advantage of the fact that most people go along with their expectations of what will happen in any given situation. If the grifter's behaviour fits the situation then people will accept what they say.   Leverage need or greed - Once grifters know what people want, even if it doesn't exist, they are in a position to manipulate them. They will play on people's desperation; unfortunately the more desperate people are, the easier they are to con.   Time Pressure - Classic studies of how people make decisions under time pressure demonstrates what grifters already know: when there's no time to think people rely on short cuts and emotional responses to a situation.   https://www.spring.org.uk/2022/07/grifters-con-artists-7.php Grifters: The 7 Psychological Principles That Con Artists Use Message from Dr Jeremy Dean     Seg. 3 – 3 Card Monte, Magic, and the Art of Deception Hustler, people in crowd are in on the con, there to distract you Art of the con, look and act, all in to sell it Miss-direction, follow the card and how magic works The mark is looking at the wrong thing Magic – good looking assistant is miss-direction   That's the Trick There's a scene in the movie The Prestige when the 2 young apprentice magicians go to see an older magician to learn his ‘Trick'. When the older magician is on stage he's doing amazing feats of strength. Then they get a watch him after the show get into a carriage, he seems like a crippled feeble old man who needs help. One magician says the other magician – ‘This is the Trick. This is the performance. This is why no one can detect his method. Total devotion to his art. Lot of self sacrifice.' The ‘Trick' is off stage, he's always acting like a crippled old man. It's simple, not easy. We often look for something that's not there, the big secret, when it's actually just in front of our faces. Always more simple than we think. We're looking for the big trick, how to get rich in a moment. When the actual trick, is doing the work daily, weekly, monthly, for years. You hone the craft, measure your progress, and adjust over time. Respect the craft, as there is no overnight success. https://brt-show.libsyn.com/this-is-the-trick-the-one-thing-to-exit-strategy-to-moneyball-business-lessons-from-movies-best-of-business-part-2-brt-s03-ep43-142-9-4-2022     Seg. 4 – Cons in Movies The Sting – wire game, and gambling, hustle The Hustler – pool movie with gambling Wolf of Wall Street – pump and dump scheme with stocks or investments Also in Boiler Room (based on Wolf of Wall St)   Oceans 11 The Cons/Hustles/Scams in "Ocean's 11" - What do the names mean? bkkshadow (70)in #film • 2016 A Boesky, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, 2 Jethro's, a Leon Spinks & an Ella Fitzgerald.   https://steemit.com/film/@bkkshadow/the-cons-hustles-scams-in-ocean-s-11-what-do-the-names-mean   The Grifters In grifting, there are two types of scams: The Long Con & The Short Con. The names refer to the amount of time they take to correctly pull off, which is, ideally, a direct corollary to how lucrative the payout at the end is for the con-man (or woman). Let's talk about the lies. This movie is lousy with ‘em. Obviously the assorted grifters are lying as a profession. That's lying to other people, and that's a given.

On why Muhammad Ali so fascinates the world—even after unlimited access; on whether Irish sports fans care about what happens in the United States; on why the world needs a Leon Spinks book.

There are four basic steps in every good story.Bad storytellers can do steps one and two, but recoil at step three.Good storytellers are willing to do step three.Brilliant Storytellers do steps three and four again and again.1. Create a character that people like, believe in, and can relate to.2. Launch that character on a hero's journey.3. Do terrible things to that character.4. Surprise your reader/listener/viewer by what happens next.And then what happens? Make it surprising.And then what happens? Make it surprising.And then what happens? Make it surprising.But it must also make sense.Predictability is the silent assassin of stories.Without trouble, there is no adventure.In 'That Hovering Question Mark,' I told you, "Every good story begins with a statement that triggers more questions than it answers." Ocean's 11 contains an excellent example of this."Off the top of my head, I'd say you're looking at a Boesky, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethros, and a Leon Spinks. Not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever."– Rusty (Brad Pitt) to Danny (George Clooney), explaining how they will run the con in Ocean's 11And that is how they did it! Ocean's 11 contains surprise after surprise, even though the writer told us the plot when he gave us that Rusty-to-Danny statement just 12 and 1/2 minutes into a 2-hour movie. It was a statement that triggered more questions than it answered.A BOESKY: Ivan Boesky was a trader on Wall Street who got caught committing securities fraud. In Ocean's 11, Saul pretends to be a wealthy bankroller who has insider information.A JIM BROWN: Named for the famous American football player, this refers to Frank Catton, a large, intimidating black man who stages a confrontation with Linus Caldwell so that Linus can lift the security codes to the vault.A MISS DAISY: 'Driving Miss Daisy' was a movie about a woman who uses a chauffeur to drive her around. Using a SWAT truck and a disguised driver, the Ocean's 11 gang escapes with their own special chauffeur.TWO JETHROS: Remember Jethro of 'The Beverly Hillbillies'? In Ocean's 11, Turk and Virgil provide two-man 'goober' distractions, such as using helium balloons to obscure the security camera on the casino floor so that Livingston can get into the video surveillance room.A LEON SPINKS: When Leon Spinks beat Muhammad Ali in a Las Vegas prize fight, it was something that no one expected. In Ocean's 11, no one expects the power to go out in the middle of a prize fight in Las Vegas. A fabulous distraction.ELLA FITZGERALD: In a famous 1973 TV ad, the voice of Ella Fitzgerald shatters a wine glass, then the voiceover says, "Is it live or is it Memorex?" (audiotape). In Ocean's 11, the guys make a videotape of a pretend robbery and play it over the casino's surveillance system while the real robbery is happening.Most stories should be told as fiction, even when they are true. When confronted with facts we are always on our guard. But "Once Upon a Time" dispels doubt, opens the imagination, and creates a willing suspension of disbelief.In 1999 I was on the phone with an 87 year-old man I had been hunting for several weeks. His name was William Lederer. I needed his permission to publish a famous letter he had written to America's Chief of Naval Operations back in 1963. He gave me permission, then asked, “Where you calling from young man?”“Austin, Texas.”“I was...

The Far Middle episode 76 pays homage to two great sports achievements from 1976: Anthony Dorsett’s Heisman Trophy-winning season, and the gold-medal performance of America’s boxing team at the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games.After recounting the monster accomplishments of Dorsett, and boxers Sugar Ray Leonard, Michael and Leon Spinks, Leo Randolph, and Howard Davis Jr., Nick transitions to discussing the monster accumulation of America’s national debt. “Our debt exceeded $31 trillion this fall, placing it at 125% of GDP, that’s a level we haven’t seen since World War II,” says Nick.America’s interest on its national debt is running at about $90 billion/month, or more than a trillion dollars annually. As the Fed continues to raise rates, interest costs will only increase. And add to that America’s growing debt, and we’re living in a double-whammy world.Inflation is also worsening America’s debt, to which Nick examines food price inflation and how energy policy resulting in energy scarcity correlates with increased food prices. So, what are governments doing to address the mess they created when it comes to energy and climate policies? In the case of Germany, they’re panicking and looking to address their problems with more state intervention—something many other countries and governments are doing.Nick transitions to UK tax policy, followed by the criticism of the World Bank head for his comments at a UN climate event. “Be careful for goodness sake when you’re speaking in public about science these days…stay in the herd,” says Nick before switching gears to commentary on the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Nick calls out the provision in the IRA of $60 billion going toward environmental justice, which is twice the annual budget of the entire Department of Justice.Next up is the academic complex, with Nick looking at collections from the 1.4% endowment tax juxtaposed to college loan forgiveness. And if you think things at colleges are bad, look at what’s happening in K-12 education, using Illinois as an example.Nick wraps by highlighting six epic rock albums released in 1976 and connecting their titles to this week’s topics.

John Pollock is joined by WH Park for a special edition of POST Puroresu to discuss the life and legacy of Antonio Inoki.The two discuss the historical significance of Inoki as it relates to combat sports from his upbringing in Japan and Brazil and returning to his home country under the wing of Rikidozan and joining the JWA. Inoki founded New Japan Pro Wrestling in 1972 and engaged in a series of matches with the likes of Willem Ruska, Willie Williams, Chuck Wepner, and Leon Spinks to build his aura along with his famous 1976 fight against Muhammad Ali.We will look at all areas of Inoki's career - the positive and the negative - and the role he played in Japanese cultureSupport this podcast by picking up a POST PURORESU t-shirt:https://store.postwrestling.com/products/post-puroresu-t-shirtPhotos Courtesy: NJPW / AEW / NOAHPOST Puroresu Theme by Chris Maffei: https://soundcloud.com/cmstrikeSubscribe: https://postwrestling.com/subscribePatreon: http://postwrestlingcafe.comForum: https://forum.postwrestling.comDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/Q795HhRMerch: https://store.postwrestling.comTwitter/Facebook/Instagram/YouTube: @POSTwrestlingAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

(Joe) Frazier. 3: Ali "shocked the world" in '64 with his TKO upset of this champ, who died mysteriously in Vegas in 1970. Sonny Liston. 4: There were fewer teeth than usual for Ali to knock out when he decisioned this man in '78 to regain the title.

Come back tomorrow for more exciting trivia!

This week, we explore one of the most interesting, strange & wild careers that we've ever heard of, combined with a private life that can easily be described as "erratic". He has more arrests than you can count, but one thing remains true, that he's self destructive, but very nice person. An Olympic gold medalist, and member of a legendary boxing family. He became heavyweight champion of the world, in only his 8th fight, and it went downhill from there. Fast. He even had his teeth stolen, multiple times. But one part of him is incredibly impressive, and it's not his right hand! Shock the world, screw it up, and become The Chicken Wing King, instead, with "Neon" Leon Spinks!! Check us out, every Tuesday! !We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!  Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman  Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com  Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless.com  Go to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things CIS & STM!!  Contact us on... twitter.com/crimeinsports crimeinsports@gmail.com facebook.com/Crimeinsports instagram.com/smalltownmurder

Besides being "The Greatest" and the Heavyweight Champ of the World, Muhammad Ali was a devout Muslim. His religious beliefs guided his life. In fact, he followed his religious bent when he declined enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1967 (at the height of the Vietnam War). His refusal to join the U.S. Military after being drafted was highly irregular at the time, and he faced prison (not to mention having his World Heavyweight Boxing title rescinded - and all of the earning potential that went along with it). Still, Muhammad Ali stuck with his beliefs, and took the conviction for draft-evasion. He was no draft-dodger, like many American males who fled to Canada and/or burned their draft cards. No, not Muhammad Ali. He believed that his status as a conscientious objector should be accepted, and he appealed his conviction all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1971, after four years not being able to play his sport, he resumed the fight towards earning the heavyweight title when the Supreme Court overturned his conviction. Of course "The Greatest" lived up to his dub as he beat George Foreman in 1974 to once again win the Heavyweight boxing title. In February 1978, Ali lost to Leon Spinks, but later that year, regained the Heavyweight Boxing Title for the 3rd and final time beating Spinks on September 15th in New Orleans. In addition to being a gold medal winner for boxing (representing the USA in the 1960 Olympics in Rome) and being the WBA Heavyweight Champ, Ali was honored in 1999 as he was named "Sportsman of the Century" by Sports Ilustrated magazine. Besides being a great boxer, Muhammad Ali influenced public politicies towards civil rights for all Americans with his many speaking engagements and his outlandish celebrity personality. He surely advanced social integrity making him a HOSS indeed! The Eagle Hoss & Hound podcast is a platform for respect. Respect for the Eagle - the individual with a service background (including spouses). Respect for the Hoss - the Social Integrity Hero from our American past. Plus, respect for the Hound - the common #AmericanMutt - you and me. Follow @EagleIMBUED - J.D. Collier https://linktr.ee/eagleIMBUED

On the latest edition of the show, it's time for T.J. and his guests to get a little nostalgic, as two huge fight anniversaries happened four decades ago this week with Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard. T.J. welcomes Marquis Johns, Sr. Writer of Big Fightweekend.com, and historian Lee Groves of RingTV.com and his own boxing history books to the show. The guys discuss "The Greatest" Muhammad Ali recapturing the Heavyweight title for a second time, when he defeated Leon Spinks in a rematch in the Louisiana Superdome in 1978. Lee gives great perspective on how Ali got "the magic back" for one more night. They also go over the anniversary of Leonard's epic World Welterweight title win over unbeaten Thomas "Hit man" Hearns the same week but three years later in 1981 in Las Vegas. It was part of the "Four Kings" who ruled the middle divisions of boxing in the late 70s through the early 90s with Robert Duran and Marvin Hagler. And, they became the wealthiest non-Heavyweights ever in doing so. Finally, T.J. and Marquis go over the limited fight cards for the weekend that was supposed to have Canelo Alvarez going for Super Middleweight supremacy but its delayed until November. Still, there are a couple of Premier Boxing Champions cards on back to back nights in Bakersfield, CA that Marquis has insight on for fans.

This week we're doing another special boxing/pro wrestling crossover with guest Chris (@Funkyassdg) from the @badwrespodcast! We discuss the many attempts that professional boxers have made to doing pro wrestling. Featuring Sugar Ray Leonard, Trevor Berbick, Leon Spinks, Floyd Mayweather, Ricky Hatton, Evander Holyfield, The Sandman and many more! We'll be back with normal boxing talk later this week, promise. 

In 1978 the heavyweight boxing landscape changed forever. The old, the young, the obscure, the fatal dreamers and the relentless schemers all came together to make it unforgettable. The rumours from 1977 were true: Muhammad Ali would defend his world heavyweight championship against Leon Spinks: a man who had won just six of his seven fights. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It was the first year since 1959 that neither Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier or George Foreman had stepped into the professional boxing ring. Officially, Ali was still the WBA heavyweight champion in January of the year – he had won that piece of jewellery when he performed his last act of boxing magic to bamboozled Leon Spinks and get revenge the previous September. Ali had the belt, one of the two available, but nobody expected to see him back in a ring – any ring – anytime soon. His boxing life had drained him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
