  • Keeps it 100

    I'm a huge Boxing fan that enjoy's listening to related podcasts. I stumbled across this fantastic podcast, when I heard Vinnie Paz on Konan's "Keepin' it 100" show recently. Vinnie and Brendan are well spoken, opinionated, and educated to the Boxing business. They don't play favorites with their takes. An absolute gem of an podcast.
