You act like you are all tuff but really you can’t handle how good hi podcasts are. You don’t know what you are talking about. Alex is the best commentator he is so good and I’ve recommended to all my friends who love boxing
These guys are knowledgeable, informative and analytical about all things boxing. Always worth a listen, except when Alex starts his seemingly regular lengthy explanations about how the pod is not worth his while financially. This is not a good listen. It would be better for him to decide on his commitments and discuss the on going merits in private. As good a combination as the two of them are, Matt in particular, could find someone equally good to spar with on this cast. Nothing against Alex, ... more
It’s the right move for Alex to step away, he alienated a few people with his tone around asking for more subs, he feels very bitter, hopefully a more positive host can step in and build from there.
I’ve been onboard with these guys for a while now and find the podcast to be a consistently Informative and interesting.
It comes from in my opinion, a journalistic perspective which is why I rate it so highly.
In a world full of incentivised press the lads on here have found the correct balance between love of the sport and impartial reporting. Keep up the good work.
Just signed up for the subscription, I personally rank Alex and Matt and the most informative and I tend to side with their analysis of fights and the general landscape of boxing as a whole. Do enjoy other boxing podcasts but these guys are the best for me, definitely worth a couple of quid a month. Thanks Gents! 🙏🏾
