“I listened to this podcast for the first time today as I’ve heard Barry Jones on other boxing podcasts and I liked his self effacing style and thought he made good sense.
However on this podcast he seems more interested in dropping the f bomb in every sentence which personally I found...”Read full review »

“Brilliant podcast. My favourite boxing review/preview show. Barry Jones in particular is consistently insightful and the interaction between the guys is great. But stop apologising when the podcast goes long. We’re not paying for the extra, so we love it!”

“Shame to see Matt Christie leave Boxing News anyway, but to have the Opening Bell’s feed hijacked by this feels like another kick in the plums.
It’s not looking good for the direction of the magazine if this is the quality of what’s coming in and the approach of those now in charge.”

“Greetings from across the pond as you Brits (I hope that’s not a derisive term) like to say. I am an avid listener and this show is a great show that I’ve recommended to friends because it entertains AND it informs! Plus it’s like sitting down with some old friends (or mates if you prefer) while...”Read full review »

“I’m sure the guys will review and give their opinion on the recent BBCi series The Stable! For me it’s a top class series, giving an almost unique insight into the pain and sacrifice, both physically and mentally, boxers and their coaching teams have to go through! The Ellie Scotney and Robbie...”Read full review »

“Matt and Alex
A brilliant listen every week it’s now part of my weekly listening habits. In last weeks episode you guys focused a lot on the British Title which is great as any up and coming UK prospect should want the Lonsdale Belt and defend it enough times to keep it.
I did however want to...”Read full review »

“Great podcast lads as usual. I make Alex right about fancying Tyson over Frazier . Bumped into the late great Sir Harry Carpenter in the late 80s after the Bruno Bugner fight and he said Tyson was much better than both Foreman and Frazier. Frazier was a legend but for a short period of time Tyson...”Read full review »

This issue severely exercises me, and the lack of acknowledgment within the sport of boxing is shocking. 5 Live Boxing is possibly the worst by continuously ignoring this issue/threat to our sport...”Read full review »

I always prefer the retrospective breakdowns and watching the fights for some reason, golden tints maybe. BN...”Read full review »

The podcast to listen to if you want the real story of...”Read full review »

“Hi guys, I’ve been meaning to write a review for some time but the driving analogy Matt gave after the Joshua fight was so good I’ve made sure to find some time to sit down and write one.

“Writing this ahead of the big match. Will people ever learn?
