“Mr Bunce and those who were with and went before bring colour and depth to a sport the BBC can neither bring or afford picture of any kind. The license fee debate is nugatory in the value of this podcast. Boxing people talking boxing. Yeah, they have to entertain both views and that’s fair and...”Read full review »

“Going to unsubscribe. Buncey just agrees & doesn’t question any of the top promoters anymore . Scared to disagree with any of them & therefore none of them are brought to task . Bring back Mike .”

“It’s a shame that Bruno came around when he did because in this era he would certainly have beaten both Joshua and Dubois pretty comfortably”

“As someone who is getting back into boxing in recent months, I find this podcast to be my favorite so far that covers the sweet science. I may not be a Brit, but I love the camaraderie that Steve and his guests and co-hosts have. I think my favorite interview he’s done so far was with Skye...”Read full review »

“I have listened for many years, but the BBC has made Buncey’s position untenable.
In the same week that he has been hyping female boxers - in line with the BBC’s desire to build the sport - he is on the BBC website both-sidesing for a fighter who failed two female eligibility tests for the World...”Read full review »

“Absolutely love the podcast generally but I’m finding the love for Saudi a bit much. It feels like all the pundits have been sucked in by the money as much as the fighters and promoters. But for us fans, the spectacle is a shadow of a fight anywhere else in the world. It’s like watching a fight...”Read full review »

“Barry Jones and Buncey are true boxing legends. Both men speak their truth, they do not take the knee to anyone. They speak with honesty one minute and can be hilarious the next minute.
Keep up the outstanding work boys

“So Buncey was right about the straight shot! Barry Jones is a good and insightful pundit and great to have Adam Smith on the live commentary. I hope the BBC didn’t spend too much of the licence fee on Del Boy Chisora, didn’t really add much value.”

“Steve Bunce (in my opinion), is the best boxing journalist out there! Whoever he presents with: (from Costello to ‘The Welshman’), the show remains informative, entertaining and relevant. Each week, I look forward to the show and have learned so much about boxing as a result of the interviews,...”Read full review »

“How does Bunce continue to hang onto his role as frontman for this once great show? Insulting to hear him doing a Steve McClarenessque accent when interviewing foreign fighters. He rarely criticises those that need criticising. If you're after a boxing show that's going to increase your...”Read full review »

“Steve Bunce is one of the most informed individuals on his subject and I find his analysis, knowledge and take on all subjects relating to boxing fascinating. I actually find that comes across stronger in his TV and radio work, as a summariser, than while leading the pod.
However, two things real...”Read full review »

“I’ll give it a 5 star rating because it’s one of my go to boxing podcasts, but on most recent episode (Usyk-Dubois preview) Bunce sounded either drunk or was experiencing a stroke while recording. Barry Jones is excellent and so was Costello.”

“I like Bunce but he needs a regular co-host to contain him. Bunce is like a spirit, good in small doses. What really irks me is that for a serious boxing show, it just ignores the big international fights and endlessly obsesses over the latest Fury and AJ news. Endless updates about heavyweight...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to this pod for many a year, the fight series during lockdown when you broke-down fights was a sense of peace during a very tough time (Joe Goosen talking about Corrales - Castillo my favourite) but I can’t believe what it’s become. Steve Bunce does not have an opinion between those...”Read full review »

“Love this boxing show it’s the best out there for not sucking up to the industry.
Loved Steve grilling The WBC president who was very dismissive and annoyed with the questions. This whole Benn situation is a joke and I won’t be watching him ever again.
Keep up the good work guys.”
