We haven't tried to hide the fact that we don't really like boxing movies. It's just too easy to mess up the tone and the action is too tough to replicate.

That's why "The Great White Hype" stands out as a boxing movie. It's an absurd movie about a sport that's equally absurd, and there are countless small moments and easter eggs for hardcore boxing fans.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor is joined by fellow historian Aris Pina in going over the movie and its many great moments. Let's go!
