Greetings, all.
Major apologies for my absence from the podcast… I hope you didn’t unsubscribe. If you did, you’re probably not reading this. If you build it (again), will they come?
I had an opportunity to tag along with our producer, and friend of the podcast, Brad Cooper (of Apex Live) for a night of sanctioned boxing action at the PHS Fieldhouse in Parkersburg, WV.
This was my first chance to take a look at how boxing works at the local level… away from Larry Merchant and Jim Lampley, away from HBO PPV… this is down to the nitty-gritty, at the grassroots level in the Mountain State. It may not be flashy, but it is a professional presentation. And Dawg House Promotions did an excellent job.
This event took place on October 11, 2025. It was fun, and action-packed.
Before the event, I had an opportunity to interview Charity Lambert of “Team Tucker” and “Too Much Love”. This was a fantastic interview, and there was even a brief discussion about her bloody initiation into the boxing business from the judge’s table.
Next up is Coy Whitt of “One More” gym and ministry. Fantastic interview, and he was on the card that night.
Finally, Brad and I wrap up the podcast, and we’re going to try to put out a few more episodes by the end of the year.
Thanks for not unsubscribing!
