Put up your dukes, get into your fighting stance, and crack open a couple of cold ones for an episode steeped in the fighting arts. From rating actors on their fighting prowess to UFC 290 (and all of the drama behind Trump's appearance), plus Francis Ngannou getting his bag in a boxing match versus Tyson Fury, there's lots of fisticuffs to go around. 

Cheers!

Live Chat: UFC Class Action Lawsuit, explained

If anyone has had a harder 5 years in boxing than Isaac Chamberlain, please send them my way.
Watching him win the British and Commonwealth was the definition of a feel-good story and what we watch boxing for.
In contrast Jack Catterall is sill waiting for his fairytale moment and it is likely that wait will continue well past his retirement.
(0% of boxing is making the public care about you. You do that in the ring.

TOP BETS: Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou, Invicita 54, Cage Warriors | The Sheehan Show

What you do outside the ring will show in the ring as Andre Sterling once said.
What we saw from Fury was a man struggling to cope with the realities of his physical condition, and a man out of love with boxing.
When you love boxing you are faithful to it, loyal to it and the rhythms and routines it demands.
Fury faced a man in Francis Ngannou who had a real point to prove, and my goodness did he prove it.

Last night showed that Hard work is the match that lights up the talent.

Live Chat: Dustin Poirier UFC 299 Fiasco, Fighter Pay, Dana White

It is incredible that this version of the pod has made it to 200. 100% of that is down to you guys. You are the best audience anyone could hope for.
As a group we punch well above our weight and we will only get stronger.

There are also others I need to thank for where the podcast is today:
Martin and Andi – No idea why Andi hasn’t just changed it to ‘Y’ already, but these two are the reason I’m doing this.
Riku – Always being a voice of reason and a genius when it comes to the art of communication.
Greg Hackett – Added so much value with his USA perspective on boxing and his really simply but powerful way of explaining boxing.
Umar Sadiq – Through the pod we got to witness how cruel boxing can be. But, it was also goo to know the Umar is enjoying his new life in Los Angeles.
Isaac Chamberlain – It is so good to see him up where he belongs. Few have worked as hard as he has to get there.
Donnall Smith – a man who gave a lot in his episodes. He still has his greatest nights ahead of him.
Denzel Bentley – One of the classiest men in boxing. A man who I still believe will be a world champion.
Larry Olubamiwo – The man, the episode…then the other episode.
Shakiba Moghadam – An incredible woman who has done incredible things, and continues to do so.
Dan Azeez – The man that climbed the mountain, and will do so again. One of the sport’s true gentlemen.

There are so many others that support behind the scenes and I would run out of characters thanking them all, but they are so important in keeping me where I am in terms of the podcast and in terms of life.

It’s been a hell of a ride and we are finished yet.

Welcome to The One Beer in Podcast! 

We're two best friends that enjoy getting on each others' nerves and talking crap while enjoying a good beer (or two). This podcast is your invitation into our colorful conversations that range from PlayStation to Internet politics. Strap in -- this is very much a conversational podcast, as we take a layman's point-of-view and discuss our interests: beer, video games, movies, tech, entertainment and basically any rabbit hole that we may wander into along the way. 

We often end our podcast with a beer review, and sometimes sneak in a bonus brew, so stay tuned. 

Cheers
