This is a cautionary tale of Bobby James, a talented fighter who was probably too trusting for his own good.
He moved to another situation, but will it be better for him?

Sometimes you can trust, but you should always verify.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING PODCAST EP2 - THE LEGEND OF BOBBY JAMES SANDERSON

I had to carry on episode 10 after promising so much and delivering so little.

We finish up the KSI - Logan Paul fight, review Hughie and Charlie and speak about trainers.

You suspect, there's something very wrong in British boxing that is masked over because we generate so much money.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP10a - KSI HUGHIE FURY CHARLIE EDWARDS AND TRAINERS

So, is Wallin better than we thought or is Fury who the haters thought?
Maybe, we didn't get an answer, but we will definitely get answers from their next fights.

It's exactly why we love boxing.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP15 - TYSON GETS FURIOUS BUT THE WALL STANDS FIRM

We go back to 2008 and look at the GB squad and ask, why did some amateurs adapt to the pros better.

2008 was easily the most talented generation since 1976, bit for various reasons, we never got a hall of fame boxer out of that group.

Why do some people crack the pros and others don't?

We answer that today.

Please get in touch and let us know what you think.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP17 - FOR THE HARDCORES 1

It is rare in boxing that we get a PPV event where the fight has real meaning. Spence-Porter was that fight and it didn't disappoint. Fights like this are what will grow boxing as a sport and silence the MMA crowd.

Maybe it is time that Kell Brook gets his respect for handling Porter with the most ease/

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP20 - SPENCE AND PORTER ARE TRULY MEN OF STEEL

So, an old man from Eastern Europe fights a young man from Eastern Europe and a load of Americans and Brits lose their mind over the result.

Somewhere in the Mid-west a young American kid gets another good win on a card that no Americans took notice of.

Boxing is a strange sport, but we love it.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP24 - GGG SHOWS WHY HE IS THE GREATEST

Instagram: @greghackett86 - a man worth the follow.
Greg Hackett is one of the best young boxing minds out there. He makes you wonder how the UK hasn't figured out the finer points of boxing yet.

In this podcast, we discuss his career to date, his inside views on the fighters that have, and will, put Philly on the map.

The podcast covers everything and there's probably a gem in every minute of this one.

Please listen, enjoy and share, you get a rare insight in this podcast....

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP29 - PHILLY BOXING THROUGH THE EYES OF GREG HACKETT

Britain rare produces boxers that can dominate at world level. We need clever matchmaking, vacant belts etc.

In Josh Taylor, we have a boxer developed despite the system. A man that is self-made and in doing that, became one of the best in the world.

His fight with Prograis will live long in the memory as a coronation of sorts and a reminder that tough environments make tough people.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP32 - JOSH TAYLOR IS MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE

It started out as a casual catch up call....
It ended up being a hell of an insight into how the journey to the top in boxing rarely runs smooth.

Umar Sadiq - The Top Boxer - is not one to follow the heard and in this podcast you get a chance to share in his journey over the last year, which has definitely been transformative.

He is definitely one of the boxers you should follow if you want to see the travails of an often brutal sport in full HD.

P.S. forgive the audio in places, we had no time for a soundcheck.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP36 - UMAR SADIQ CALLS IT LIKE HE SEES IT

90% of the YouTube views were bought, like the twitter likes and the twitter followers. Hearn cheating and lying to the fans again.

Think back to the coverage of KSI v Logan Paul. It was strange that most of the people doing the coverage were over 35, for a show that was aimed at children and teenagers. Why?

Maybe the mission here was to sell this as a mega event for the boxing fans by making them believe they were getting left behind if they weren't getting on board.

It was also the latest attempt by Hearn to kill the hardcores - the only people that see through this.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP37 - HEARN AND SOCIAL MEDIA DOPING

We are 10 days away from the moment of truth. Where we find out of a manufactured boxer can beat a well-schooled boxer.

Was Ruiz just lucky or was all he needed a chance?

Has Joshua done enough? Has he exorcised the demons?

Are we in store for a great rebound or is this just another step down for Joshua?

Truth is, we just don't know.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP42 - AJ - RUIZ 2: HAVE TEAM AJ FOUND THE ANSWERS?

Here's a young man that's crammed a whole career worth of stories into a youthful 25 years.

One thing Isaac Chamberlain has in abundance is resilience. Nothing will stop him achieving his goals and his ability to create positives from negatives is a lesson to us all.

Enjoy the podcast, one man sharing his career with you, and hopefully it adds another dimension to the real People's Champion.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP43 - ISAAC CHAMBERLAIN IN HIS OWN WORDS

i admit...I was wrong.

Team AJ might be the strongest unit in boxing.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP48 - ANTHONY JOSHUA SHOWS WHY HE COULD BE AN ALL - TIME GREAT

Boxing needs Anthony Joshua. The economics of the sport need that marquee name, like Hulk Hogan in the 1980s. People like to work with people that draw money. AJ  draws money.

Now...Andy Ruiz? Not the same kettle of fish and the last 6 months proved that.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP49 - WHY ANTHONY JOSHUA AND HULK HOGAN MUST POSE

Terence Crawford is the most gifted Welterweight out there, but not the best. To be the best you need to face the best. Will we get the big fights in 2020?

Can he and bob Arum make it happen?

Teofimo Lopez...WOW!!!

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP51 - TERENCE CRAWFORD NEEDS TO STRIKE NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE

Most boxing fans agree that 2017 was a special year.
Why?
That is harder to say. It may have been the quality of fights. On the other hand, it could have been the scale of the events. Whichever way you look at it, 2017 gave every boxing fan what they wanted.

It also scared the life out of every promoter as they watched profit drain away through the sheer volume of great fights on free-to-air television. Instead of embracing this bold new era, we have seen boxing retreat to it old ways. Fights are drawn out now, most quality content is behind a paywall now and now people pretend to be more popular than they are.

Not sure what the future holds, but we are on a slippery slope to irrelevance if we carry on as we are.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP53 - 2017 - THE YEAR THAT SCARED BOXING

When friends fight, it should be for the largest purse possible. A lot is on the line in these situations. You can only hope MTK know what they are doing here or they risk damaging one very gifted boxer at the expense of another.

Changing trainers is often the easy way out, a way to deny your own failings. Sometimes, it is needed…you get to correct the error in selecting the trainer. But, in the case of Josh Taylor and even Anthony Fowler, only time will tell.

We need to know, does Fury still believe he is unbeatable? He will need to in order to beat the Bronze Bomber.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP54 - GYM MATES FIGHTING FIGHTERS ABANDONING TRAINERS AND SOME BRONZE BOMBING

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Well...heavy is the man that wins the crown.

Fury was masterful, showed that there is no substitute for experience, and that power is only good if it lands.

The man sent a message out to the boxing world on Saturday - work on your skills and you can do anything.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP59 - TYSON FURY IS ZEUS

Today, we rank the best heavyweights on earth. Some will agree and some will disagree, but it's a good debate.

We also discuss how bad Jay Deas was as a trainer. Mark Breland deserves a lot of respect for being a real BMF in that fight and doing the right thing.

Finally, we talk about the car crash that is March 28th.

BEAUTIFUL BOXING EP60 - THE TOP HEAVYWEIGHTS RANKED

We had to do a reunion episode at some point, so we hit the off licence, sent Johnny Fleshlight to UKAD for some unscastrated boar, and just slipped into the old slippers.

Audio is a bit rickety, but these are tough times, so we have to take what we can - like toilet paper.As always, like share and let us know what you think.
