We haven't tried to hide the fact that we don't really like boxing movies. It's just too easy to mess up the tone and the action is too tough to replicate. That's why "The Great White Hype" stands out as a boxing movie. It's an absurd movie about a sport that's equally absurd, and there are countless small moments and easter eggs for hardcore boxing fans. On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor is joined by fellow historian Aris Pina in going over the movie and its many great moments. Let's go! SUBSCRIBE!

Boxing is different. We all know that. We're allowed access into the lives of fighters in a way other sports don't provide with their athletes, and as a result we often feel as though we know them and are close to them. When we lose fighters, and especially fighters we cared for, it sure hurts. On this episode of the Knuckes and Gloves podcast, boxing historians Patrick Connor and Aris Pina team up to remember former heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist "Big" George Foreman, and give a brief tribute to Ras-I Alujah Bramble, better known as Livingstone Bramble. May they both rest well forever. SUBSCRIBE! Follow us on social media!

Host Dick Donahue takes a look at the numbers in the 2023 S&P index and welcomes Patrick Connor from the National Federation of Independent Businesses to the show to talk about pending legislation in Olympia.
This episode is rich with personal anecdotes, spiritual insights, and practical advice for those interested in the topics of emotional well-being, recovery, and personal growth. Specifically, we continue to discuss the concept of surrender and explore inner child work and the emotional journey of recovery. We reflect on personal experiences and emphasize the importance of acknowledging and allowing emotions to surface without trying to fix or act upon them. Our conversation also touches on the role of spirituality, karma, and the idea of "Blind Faith" in our lives. We explore the idea that surrender is not just about giving up control but about understanding and allowing emotions to exist without judgment. Pernilla mentions teacher Patrick Connor, who helped her understand the concept of karma and how it was affecting her emotional state. We discuss the challenges we faced in our recovery journeys, including dealing with codependency, self-hatred, and other emotional issues. We emphasize the importance of a nurturing environment and bring up an example of Battle Boots, Pernilla's horse, who healed his trauma through a loving and routine environment. Towards the end, we talk about the concept of "allowing" as a form of surrender, both for ourselves and for those around us. Resources: Patrick Connor David R.

Back in the 1950s, the heavyweight division was more or less held hostage by Floyd Patterson's trainer and manager Cus D'Amato after Rocky Marciano retired. A number of heavyweights during that time ripened on the vine, if not had a good portion of their careers wasted.
