The (un)Professional Boxing Podcast

Look, I messed up the audio a bit on this one because I'm a buffoon so apologies, but you're getting a second episode this week because I love y'all so much. Rob Brant co-promoters Greg Cohen and Cory Rapacz call in all the way from Japan to talk about Rob's upcoming fight with Ryota Murata and I preview the other international boxing action coming up this weekend.

The first of TWO podcast episodes this week, as there's an absurd amount of boxing happening. This episode covers all the action in the American boxing scene - in addition to ESPN/DAZN/PBC card previews, Chris Jay, Director of Communications of the Massachusetts-based Murphy's Boxing stops by to talk about their big card on UFC Fight Pass this Friday. Chris talks about his journey to working in th...

Corey Erdman (@corey_erdman) stops by on this week's podcast to join me in reflecting on being in attendance for the DAZN Providence showcase. We chat about the future of Demetrius Andrade and Jermall Charlo, as well as discuss global warming, Marianne Williamson, the legendary Brandon Cook-Steven Butler brawl, the strange Amir Khan Saudi Arabia card, and so much more!

This week we sit down for an hour chat with Boxrec editor and journalist Juan Carlos Ortecho (@jcortecho) and we go deep into the issues that come up with record keeping, the insane Peruvian boxing scene, why some South American boxers who fight in the USA/UK are so terrible, and even chat about Tye Fields! We also preview the DAZN, ESPN, and Showtime cards this weekend. And don't worry, there's e...

I won't beat around the bush, I was jetlagged as hell and my brain was fried as I recorded this 45 minute sermon. I try to comprehend what was Tyson Fury vs. Tom Schwarz and preview the 700 small shows happening on Friday, yet only BAREKNUCKLE BOXING happening on Saturday. I feel like Artem Lobov's 50 facial cuts.

Part 2 of the Mickey Rourke professional boxing career deep dive. In this episode, we cover the rest of Mickey's fights and the slow decent into absurdity. There's lots of overseas fights and lots of questionable opponents. Learn which movie role he turned down to KO a 0-3 opponent and which former world champion allegedly played a key role in Mickey never boxing again, and finally we cover the in...

I'm Europe for a few weeks in June and recording episodes well in advance, so we're taking a break from the typical show format of boxing previews/news/reviews and doing a deep dive instead. This week, I focus on the professional boxing career of professional actor Mickey Rourke. In Part 1, we focus on 1964-1992: Mickey's amateur boxing career, training with Freddie Roach and his first two profess...

We celebrate 20 episodes with our first in-studio guest! @PeterCzymbor from @BostonProBoxing stops by to talk about his show on 5/31 in Windham, New Hampshire. We preview his card and get into the challenges and rewards of putting on a consistent club boxing series. If you're curious about the business side of boxing, this episode is a worthy listen. I also recap the three shows that took place on...

Just me again this week, I express regret for my terrible Wilder-Big Dom prediction while dealing with a neighbor trying to chainsaw a tree. Also some WBSS talk where I profess my love of Inoue and Josh Taylor. We got bare knuckle talk and plenty of fight previews as well.

The Unprofessional Boxing Podcast is solo this week with new corporate sponsorship! This week, we talk Williams-Hurd, Jack Swagger, Jeff Horn's future, WBSS, Deontay Wilder and so much more!

This week we're joined by Beto Durán (@DuranSports) who gives us his first-hand review of the Canelo-Jacobs card and his thoughts on Canelo's future, Vergil Ortiz Jr, the national anthem, Friday's Shobox card, and more! Plus previews of ESPN and PBC while my cat groans for more food in the background.

A longer episode this week, but I promise it's worth it! This week we're doing by Canadian boxing staple and boxing poster design master Jason Toufexis (@JasonToufexis) . We recap the boxing weekend by venting our frustration over the Golden Boy stream and the Easter-Barthelemy fight, yet sending our respects to DAZN. In addition, we preview the many Canadians in action this weekend (Artur Beterbi...

This week I lose my mind trying to fathom Big Baby Miller's life choice. We grind up, tightly pack in a bowl, and smoke out the entire 4/20 boxing weekend with a preview of the huge DAZN card, World Boxing Super Series, and PBC on Showtime action. Plus, you guessed it, a Jeff Horn update!

It's just me this week on the podcast, and let's not beat around the bush - I've been drinking and I'm extremely fired up over a terrible weekend of boxing. Lomachenko, Showtime, PBC on FOX Sports 1, DAZN ... nothing is spared during this rant. After a few calm down beers, I preview a tightly rolled joint's worth of 4/20 weekend boxing (Crawford-Khan PPV, Danny Garcia's return, and even the White...

I'm joined this week by boxing expert and fellow podcaster @rian5ca. We chat about Gilberto Ramirez-Tommy Karpency, Ricardo Mayorga, Samuel Peter, and a guy in Peru who took a photo with the ring girls in between rounds of his fight. We got Jeff Horn talk and plus we talk Lomachenko too I guess.

My audio was messed up and Episode 12 is sadly gone forever. However, in the interest of getting content out for the masses, I present The first Unprofessional Boxing Podcast mini episode aka I ramble about the 2000 Olympics for a half hour. The curse is real folks, and I break down all the fighters from that never panned out.

A quick one this week without a guest, forgive me. I break down the PBC card in Maryland on Sunday, Kubrat Pulev's bloody performance on Saturday. In addition, I reminisce about how good Kassim Ouma once was and discuss what my cat's ring name would be if it were a boxer.

This week we're joined by Justyn Likes (@JustynLikes) from Combat Press. He was on press row this past weekend for all 17 fights on the Garcia-Spence PPV card and is here to tell the tale. If you've ever been curious about how good the PBC press row catering and toilets are, this is the episode for you. We preview the weekend's PBC and ESPN cards as well featuring the Peterson brothers and Kubrat...

Episode 9! No guest, but I don't feel like I'm dying and have plenty to preview as we have the Spence-Garcia PPV, a DAZN show in Philly, and even a ESPN+ show on Sunday. Listen to to see which celebrity is officially CANCELLED on the Unprofessional Boxing Podcast, an exclusive Jeff Horn scoop, and Paulie Malignaggi is doing bare knuckle boxing! No cats peeing this week, but my radiator sounds like...

I'm a bit under the weather this week so apologies in advance. Brian Dillon (@Bridilboxing) is our guest this week and he talks about the excellent club show in Hanover, Maryland this Friday he put together as the matchmaker. We also recap Showtime, preview Bivol-Smith and Porter-Ugas, I talk about willing an amazing moment from UFC 235 into existence, and my opening monologue is interrupted by do...

Likely the weirdest opening monologue to date. 30 minutes of boxing talk. 1 hour of Butterbean talk. Our longest, most ambitious episode to date features Chris (@funkyassdg) from the Bad Wrestling Podcast talking about Butterbean's two legendary matches in the WWF. Oh, and there's Brandon Rios-Humberto Soto, Jeff Horn, 43 year old heavyweight Luis Ortiz talk as well.  If you just want to skip the...

We're back with another episode. Not the most exciting week of boxing to recap and preview, but I marvel at PBC's 6'7" Jr Middleweight and complain about fights being kept off TV, Jeff Horn updates, reaction to the Tyson Fury news, and I tell you how excited I am about Brandon Rios vs. Humberto Soto.

This week we're joined by Cory Rapacz (@RapaczBoxing) to talk about Rob Brant, why they picked ESPN+ over DAZN, and preview this weekend's ESPN card. Recaps of Ruiz-Davis, DAZN and previews of PBC on FOX as well. I also talk about Jeff Horn's latest article and hand out the first Questionable South American Opponent of the Week award.

This week I deal with some low flying planes that screw with the audio as I attempt to recap the Kovalev-Alvarez card. Plus: previews of Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz, Golden Boy's DAZN show, and Jose Ramirez vs. Jose Zepeda. Also, I get close to snapping talking about Jeff Horn and Anthony Yarde.

We're back at it again recapping the PBC on FOX and DAZN shows that took place on Saturday. Previews of Alvarez-Kovalev II, DAZN, and Shobox as well. More importantly, we talk about Jeff Horn, going to Tijuana to get easy wins, and Jack Swagger in the Bellator cage.
