“I’ve been listening to Costello and Bunce for years now, and as a total non-boxing fan before, this podcast has given me huge enjoyment in something I had no interested in previously.
Insightful interviews, expert commentary and cutting humour all in equal measure.
I love the big fight coverage, especially the shorter build up pods in fight week, but my favourite episodes are always the in depth look at boxing’s niches and eccentric characters who perform some of sport’s most unusual roles, like the cut man episode.
One topic I’d love to hear covered; what is the benefit/drawback of fighters moving up and down weight classes? What fighters have done it well and who has performed brilliantly in one class but failed to deliver when moving up or down? With fighters performing physiological miracles to cut weight before gaining it all back before fight night, are weight classes as stringent as they could be?
Keep up the excellent work.”
