Mon, 19 Feb 2024 - 181 - Macklin's Take #179 A Small Heath Boxing club special
This week on Macklin's Take we bring you a very special episode. We talk often on the podcast about amateur boxing, about how vital amateur clubs are, not just to the sport, but also to the communities they belong to, and how the people who run them are the sport's true, unsung heroes. Well a couple of weeks ago Matt invited me along to the birthday party of his old amateur coach, a man who helped save and shape so many young people's lives and who also brought through more than his fair share of champions. Pat Benson, in his late 80s now, ran Small Heath Boxing club, a powerhouse of an ABC, for decades and the turnout at the Irish Centre spoke volumes about the esteem in which he is held by everyone who walked through the doors of the club. We sat down with the likes of Wayne Elcock, Paul Ramsey, Anthony Maynard, Rowan Williams, Dennis Brown and Shaun Cogan amongst others to re-live some glory days and reflect on the impact boxing and Small Heath has had on their lives.

Or are they capable of working together more so we can avoid nights like May 27th, when we have three world title fights involving British fighters on different cards and different networks, on the same night. Because ultimately it's the sport and the fans that suffer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

For our final podcast of 2022 me and Matt welcome back Board of Control General Secretary Robert Smith.It's been an interesting year, in boxing it always is. We've had stadium fights, scoring controversies, the re-emergence of a robust small hall scene post Covid, the death of a monarch and the Conor Benn saga. And whilst Robert may not have loved every single second of it, as he rightly told us, the good has outweighed the bad and we head into another year with the sport in good shape.Merry Christmas everyone, and a happy new year, we'll be back mid-January probably.Take it easy :) Learn more about your ad choices.

Lewis Van Poetsch, better known as Poochi, is one British boxing's finest away corner warriors, and along with his manager and trusted cornerman Rich Farnan, travels the land taking on all comers.It's a crucial role, one that's unique to boxing really, and one that's maybe changing a bit too.There have been a number of away corner wins recently and Poochi has notched a few himself, so me and Matt thought it was about time we had a proper chat about life on the road with two of the sport's most seasoned campaigners.

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 - 157 - Macklin's Take #153 - The Big Fight Deep Dive - Eubank vs Collins with Ian Darke
By popular request this week sees the return of the Big Fight Deep Dive, where we take an in-depth look at a key clash from years gone by in the company of somebody who was there.A fight that's been on the list for a long time is Chris Eubank vs Steve Collins from March 18th 1995.Eubank was the long-reigning WBO Super Middleweight champion and maybe the biggest name in British boxing at the time whilst Collins was WBO champ at the weight below and moving up to 168lbs for the first time.It was a tale of the unexpected from the very beginning with the fight ending up in the tiny town of Millstreet in County Cork and with all manner of things happening in the build-up. Ringside calling the action for Sky Sports was legendary commentator Ian Darke and it was our pleasure to welcome Darkey on board to look back at what was a memorable night.

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 - 156 - Macklin's Take #152 - The Conor Benn saga - How did we get here?
In this special extra episode me and Matt discuss the ongoing Conor Benn saga.We first discussed it when the news very first broke but have deliberately kept our powder dry since because no new information had come to light and we're not in the business of indulging in pointless speculation.But last week saw some revelations so we decided it was time to address what has become one of the British sport's burning issues.We know all the parties involved, Conor Benn, Eddie Hearn and Board of Control Secretary Robert Smith have all been on Macklin's Take, but we have no personal allegiances in the matter. We tried our best to look at it from the perspective of those parties and try and work out exactly how the whole situation was allowed to become the PR disaster that it undoubtedly has become. And to identify the lessons that can and must be learnt from it all because one thing we can all agree on I think is that there have truly been no winners in this, none at all.Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

We love a boxing insider on Macklin's Take :)And this week me and Matt sit down with a man who was right on the inside of boxing's premier broadcasting flagship for over 25 years.Mark Taffet was head of HBO Pay Per View and with the company from 1983, all the way through to 2015.He was fundamental in putting together some of the biggest fights the world has seen and a key player in HBO fight cards and broadcasts becoming the gold standard that their competition strived to match.We chatted about the challenges of the job, the glory nights and of course got his take on the modern boxing landscape and the shelf life of the current PPV model.

This week on Macklin's Take we're back in East London for the Shields vs Marshall/Mayer vs Baumgardner card at the 02.It's a huge week for this modern era of women's pro boxing and we had the good fortune to sit down with both WBO Middleweight champion Savannah Marshall ahead of her fight for Undisputed vs self-proclaimed GWOAT Claressa Shields and WBC Super Featherweight boss Alycia Baumgardner as she prepares to take on IBF & WBO belt holder Mikaela Mayer.One was just about to go training, the other had just finished; it was great of them to fit us in.

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 - 149 - Macklin's Take #145 - Eubank vs Benn Emergency pod
What a day.At the time of recording the Board of Control had just decreed that as far as they were concerned Eubank vs Benn was "prohibited" and would not be going ahead.That came just a couple of hours after the promoters issued a joint statement saying that it would.Chaos.So we decided we needed to convene for an emergency pod.We were actually planning to do one today anyway previewing the fight :) Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

Wed, 05 Oct 2022 - 148 - Macklin's Take #144 with Thomas Hauser
This week me and Matt are joined by Hall of Fame boxing writer and friend of the pod Thomas Hauser.I bumped into Thomas at York Hall a couple of weeks ago. It was his first visit to one of British boxing's finest institutions so we thought we'd better check in with him and see how he enjoyed it.It wasn't all we discussed of course.TV was the main talking point.The pros and cons of exclusive deals between networks and promoters and the power struggles they create. The sad departure of HBO and the abandonment of the model they created and successfully implemented for so many years. The confusion that multiple sanctioning bodies and multiple champions can create amongst the viewing public. Oh and PPV of course.There was a lot to get into and a lot pf problems to address but we did also offer some solutions :) Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Macklin's Take me and Matt welcomed new British Light Heavyweight champion Dan Azeez to the podcast.Dan turned in a dazzling display a couple of weeks back to claim the Lonsdale belt and having already won the Southern Area and English titles has done it the traditional way.He's an old school fighter who, like his hero Marvelous Marvin Hagler, just wants to give the public the fights they want to see and mix it with any and all of the other British 175lb fighters.We love his attitude and it was a pleasure to have him on.

It's the Return of the King :)Our Franchise champion, the one and only Jon Pegg, had a brief sojourn in hospital recently so we thought the perfect tonic for him would be another appearance on MT.And he was on fine form as usual.We got into a number of subjects, including what it's like running small hall shows post Covid, something Jon's doing with great success, and why it is that although everyone seems to love the Rocky films, they seem to be less keen on real life Rockys.As usual with the Peggmeister, it got deep.

Mon, 29 Nov 2021 - 140 - Macklin's Take #136 with Joe Gallagher
This week me and Matt welcome back to the pod our good friend; top trainer, manager and now also promoter, Mr Joe Gallagher.And Joe was bang on form :)We went deep into a few different topics: The current UK promotional and broadcast battlegrounds, the seemingly lost art of talent spotting and with Anthony Joshua touring US gyms recently in search of a new trainer we asked Joe what he felt AJ needed to do to get back on track. He had plenty to say about that!

Sun, 21 Nov 2021 - 139 - Macklin's Take ~135 with Kelvyn Travis
After being away for the last couple of week's at the Men's World Amateur Championships in Belgrade me and Matt decided to delve deep into the amateur code in this episode.We wanted to talk about all levels, from club to country to elite international level, and we wanted someone with some longevity too, someone who's been around the sport for longer than us and who basically knows better than us.And we had the perfect man for the job in Kelvyn Travis.A long time club coach, former international coach of Matt's, Kelvyn has seen it all and was more than happy to give us his views on the amateur scene, the condition it's in now and the changes it's seen down the years.

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 - 138 - Macklin's Take #134 with Sam Jones
This week me and Matt are joined by top boxing manager Sam Jones.Sam has become a very familiar figure with British fight fans over the last few years and someone we've seen around a lot.But we only ever really knew him just to say hello to so thought it was time we found out a bit more about the man who co-founded the very successful SJAM an who has recently become one of Probellum's big new signings.And unsurprisingly his back story is a very interesting one, starting pretty much with a nerve-shredding make or break five minute meeting with none other than Floyd Mayweather! Sam was in at the deep end and has stayed there ever since.

Mon, 25 Oct 2021 - 137 - Macklin's Take #133 - Fury vs Wilder
After the Fury vs Wilder trilogy concluded in Las Vegas at the weekend, just two weeks after we saw Usyk beat Joshua, we decided it was time to delve into the Heavyweight division and see how the land lies now those 2 results are in.We were both at Spurs for AJ whilst I was lucky enough to be at the T Mobile last Saturday too.

This week on Macklin's Take me and Matt park up for an hour with Robert Smith, General Secretary of the British Boxing Board of Control.We see Robert ringside all the time and have meant to get him on the pod for ages, to get the inside track on what it's like working for the sport's oldest and best governing body; the highs, the lows, the ups, the downs, the tears and the laughter.It was great fun and Robert even felt relaxed enough to give us his top 10 Most Difficult People in British Boxing.Spoiler alert: That last bit isn't true.

As we canter towards our summer break, me & Matt thought it was about time we invited our good pal Joe Gallagher back onto the podcast.As we said a few weeks ago, we've decided on MT that the pandemic is over, we're nothing if not a glass half full enterprise after all, and so with that in mind are taking the opportunity to have a look back at a unique period in boxing history.And Joe was an ideal man to do that with 😁 Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

Mon, 28 Jun 2021 - 131 - Macklin's Take #128 with Jon Pegg
This week me and Matt welcome back our Franchise champion, the one and only Jon Pegg.Macklin's Take will be taking a summer break in a few weeks and we reckon that when we return boxing will be back, crowds will be back and the Covid era will finally be coming to a close.So we decided that over the next few episodes we'd have a bit of a light hearted look back at what has been a crazy last 15 months or so in the company of some selected guests. And unsurprisingly Jon was one of the first names on the team sheet, as he's definitely a man who can find the humour in almost any situation.

Mon, 14 Jun 2021 - 129 - Macklin's Take #126 with Chris McKenna
This week me & Matt catch up with Daily Star boxing writer Chris McKenna.A few weeks ago it was Chris who broke the news that AJ vs Fury wouldn't be happening because Tyson would have to first give Deontay Wilder a third fight.It was a huge story, the biggest of Chris' career to date so we were keen to know how it came about and just what it's like working on the boxing beat for a daily newspaper in the current climate; a job where you have to combine the old school values of the printed daily edition with the more modern approach demanded by the instant digital platform.The conversation went in all sorts of directions and we finished off with a good chat about the Matchroom/DAZN news, which had been confirmed the day we recorded this with Chris.Macklin's Take is now also on YouTube so if you could find your way over there and click subscribe, that would be great.http://bitly.com/MacklinsTakeYouTube Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

Tue, 25 May 2021 - 126 - Macklin's Take #123 with IBF Flyweight champion of the world Sunny Edwards
Back in March we had a long and very enjoyable chat with a 15-0 Sunny Edwards about the trials and tribulations of a boxing life and how he'd managed to drive his career to the brink of a world title shot.A couple of months later he's now 16-0 and the new IBF Flyweight champion of the world after dethroning Moruti Mthalane, a man who hadn't lost since 2008, in immaculate style.That ladies and gentlemen is the power of Macklin's Take :)But seriously, we had to get Sunny back on the pod to hear all about that night and how life has been for him since realising his lifelong dream.Macklin's Take is now also on YouTube so if you could find your way over there and click subscribe, that would be great.http://bitly.com/MacklinsTakeYouTube Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

This week sees me and Matt welcome former IBF World Middleweight champion and good friend Darren Barker to the podcast for a long overdue Macklin's Take debut.Matt and Darren, were the same weight and their careers ran in parallel lines really. They very nearly boxed at one point, posters were printed and it was all ready to go top of the bill on the much-vaunted Magnificent Seven card, but an injury to Darren prevented it. So we revisit the fight that never was and the two of them compare notes and stories not just from their fighting days but also from their new careers as media pundits.If you enjoy the podcast then please do check out our YouTube channel where we bring you extra content consisting of excerpts from old episodes as well as weekly topical debate centred around what's happening in the world of boxing.http://bitly.com/MacklinsTakeYouTube Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Macklin's Take me and Matt are joined by the 15-0 British Super Flyweight champion Sunny Edwards.Getting noticed as a young pro fighter, if you don't turn over with Olympic pedigree, has always been a challenge. Boxing is a business and as a fighter you have to market yourself, promote yourself, drive your own career; in short you have to sell yourself as best you can. And you have to be able to fight too. It's a long, hard game and you have to have a plan.Sunny has always had a plan and in this episode he tells me and Matt about the philosophies that underpin the moves he makes, the mistakes he's made and what he's learnt from them. It was an enlightening conversation, it really was.

In this episode we take you back to Christmas 1997 and NYC for a deep dive into Prince Naseem Hamed's sensational US debut at Madison Square Garden vs Kevin Kelley.There was never a dull moment with Naz and nobody knows that better than Sky Sport's Adam Smith, who was on the inside of the Sheffield fighter's career through its many highs and also its controversial lows. Adam was in New York 24 years ago, spending 2 weeks out there wrapped around a fight that with hindsight was probably the highlight of Hamed's extraordinary career. Luckily for us he remembers it like it was yesterday.

Thu, 18 Feb 2021 - 110 - Macklin's Take #107 with Lou DiBella
In this episode me and Matt Macklin talk the Art of the Deal with boxing Hall of Famer Lou DiBella.With a mega fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury in the pipeline we decided we needed to get the inside track on how fights like that actually get made, how negotiations get over the line and what the major obstacles often are.Lou has performed pretty much every role in the business of boxing and at the very highest level too so he was the ideal man for the job. It was a very illuminating conversation with one of the sport's most lucid and straightest talkers. And just a reminder that Macklin's Take is now on YouTube. So please do head over to our page and subscribe; there's already a lot of great content on there, including a new, shorter weekly podcast that me and Matt have started doing, looking at what's currently happening in the weird and wonderful world of boxing.YouTube link: bitly.com/MacklinsTakeYouTube Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

Mon, 15 Feb 2021 - 109 - Macklin's Take #106 with Chris Miah
This week on Macklin's Take we bring you an episode people have been asking for over the last year or so.An in-depth discussion of strength and conditioning training. What is it? What's it designed to achieve? How much should you do and when should you do it?There are plenty of misconceptions out there so we recruited MMA fighter and top S&C coach Chris Miah to guide us through the whole thing as well as the weight-making process and plenty else besides.

Sun, 07 Feb 2021 - 108 - Macklin's Take #105 with Glenn Catley
Cus D'Amato once said that fear is like fire: If you can control then it can give you heat and light but if you can't control then it will burn you to the ground.This week me and Matt Macklin are joined by former WBC Super Middleweight champion, now clinical psychotherapist Glenn Catley to talk about fear, about how fighters have to be able not to just overcome it but to harness it, control it, to "make it their friend" as Matt often says. It's a key issue, one that affects not just boxers but people in all walks of life. We all know what it's like to feel nervous, afraid or at the very least apprehensive and how inhibiting or even destructive it can be so it was great to pick Glenn's expert brain.

Sat, 30 Jan 2021 - 107 - Macklin's Take #104 with John Rawling
This week me and Matt are joined by one of the best commentators in the business; the smooth voice of BT Boxing, John Rawling.John's called countless big fights from ringside over the last few decades and his enthusiasm for the job remains undimmed so it was great to talk to him about the demands of the role and how he believes it should be done.We also had time to have a look at how the industry has changed in the time he's been in it and in an effort to boost everyone's morale turned the clock back 11 months to Tyson Fury's epic rematch victory over Deontay Wilder.

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 - 106 - Macklin's Take #103 with Curtis Woodhouse
This week me & Matt Macklin bring you our first episode of 2021, so welcome back everyone! And we revisit the Make or Break theme we came up with over the summer where we talk to fighters about pivotal fights in their careers, fights that had they lost them then their lives would not have been the same. Our guest is Curtis Woodhouse, who has one of the best stories in all of sport, not just boxing. A premier League footballer, he turned his back on the game in his mid-20s to become a professional boxer. People laughed at him, they thought he’d lost his mind. He vowed to win a British title. They laughed even harder. But he silenced them all. You couldn’t make it up, you really couldn’t.

Mon, 18 Jan 2021 - 105 - Macklin's take #102 - 2020 Festive Selection Box
Merry Christmas everyone and welcome to a Macklin's Take Yuletide special.Like last year, our top producer Darren Rees has put together a Festive Selection Box featuring some of the best bits from what has been a highly unusual year.Eddie Hearn, Frank Warren, Conor Benn and Dave Coldwell all feature as do Paul Ramsay, Shaun Cogan and Anthony Maynard who joined us for our This Boxing Life episode back at the start of the year.Obviously it's been an absolutely bizarre last 9 months. It's been beyond strange but we've loved doing the podcast through it all. It's been great fun and a great distraction for both of us so thanks to everyone who's listened and to all our guests of course.We'll be back in 2021, in the meantime have a great Christmas and New Year everyone.

Tue, 22 Dec 2020 - 104 - Macklin's Take #101 with Robert Diaz
In this episode me and Matt tackle one of our favourite subjects: Matchmaking. Good matchmaking is crucial not only to the development of individual fighters but to the overall health of the sport. It’s a genuine art and good matchmakers are worth their weight in gold. They know how to pick the right opponents at the right time, how to provide boxers with the in-ring education they need to develop and improve and also of course how and when to deliver to the paying public the fights we want to see. One of the best around is Goldenboy Promotions matchmaker Robert Diaz and we were lucky enough to catch up with him in Yucatan, Mexico. It was an education so we hope you get as much out of it as we did. And we talked a bit of Canelo vs Smith and Garcia vs Campbell too.

Thu, 17 Dec 2020 - 103 - Macklin's Take #100 with Matthew Hatton
This week we celebrate the 100th episode of Macklin's Take by inviting on to the podcast former European Welterweight champ, and old friend of Matt Macklin's, Mr Matthew Hatton.Matt went 12 rounds with Canelo back in the day for the WBC Super Welterweight title so we have a chat about that and the big fight at the weekend between the Mexican and our very own Callum Smith.We also talk to Matt about the new adventure he's embarking upon as trainer to his nephew and new Matchroom signing Campbell Hatton.And the two Matts also have plenty of time to reminisce about their days as gym mates. Mumba-gate is revisited as is the time Macklin and Michael Gomez rebranded themselves as a modern day Batman and Robin. It was great fun; we'll definitely be getting the Magic Man back on in the future.And finally we'd like to say a big thank you to all of you who listen to the podcast. It's great to get to 100 episodes, we love doing it, so here's to another 100!

Tue, 15 Dec 2020 - 102 - Macklin's Take #99 with Peter Fury
For this one we welcome Peter Fury back to Macklin's Take.And I ask Peter and Matt a question that's been hotly debated in British boxing over the last week or so.How much can we reasonably expect fighters to give in the ring?How far through the pain barrier can we really demand that they push themselves in pursuit of victory?It was fascinating to listen to their take on what is a complex issue.And we talked a bit of Joshua vs Pulev and of course Hughie Fury vs Mariusz Wach.

Thu, 10 Dec 2020 - 101 - Macklin's Take #98 with Bob Arum
This week on Macklin's Take me and Matt are joined by none other than Top Rank boss Bob Arum.Bob turned 89 this week and has now been promoting boxing for 54 years. During that time he really has been there and seen and done it all so it was great to sit down with him for an hour and get his thoughts on AJ vs Pulev, the current state of the boxing industry, the future for Top Rank and plenty else besides. We even had time to get his take on the assassination of JFK as back in the early 60s, before he turned to boxing, Bob was working at the US Department of Justice when it happened. The man is history in human form!We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Tue, 08 Dec 2020 - 100 - Macklin's Take #97 – The Big Fight Deep Dive with Kevin Mitchell – Evander Holyfield vs Lennox Lewis I & II
This week me & Matt Macklin are joined by esteemed boxing scribe and author Kevin Mitchell to look back at the two showdowns between Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis in 1999 that eventually saw Lewis crowned undisputed King of the Heavyweight division. The 90s was a mad decade in the top division; a 42/1 upset, Fan Man, a belt in the bin, the return of George Foreman, the Bite Fight, Andrew Golota. It was chaos. Luckily for us Kev was right in the thick of it and ringside at both Madison Square Garden and the Thomas & Mack for those Holyfield vs Lewis mega fights.

Mon, 07 Dec 2020 - 99 - Macklin’s Take #96 with Ashley Theophane
This week me & Matt Macklin are joined by Ashley Theophane. Ashley, and I mean this in the best possible way, is not the kind of man you meet every day, even by boxing’s unusual standards. He’s been a pro for the best part of 2 decades, winning a British title almost 10 years ago before leaving these shores to join Floyd Mayweather’s Money Team in Las Vegas, appearing on some huge Mayweather cards and boxing for a world title before emabarking on a world tour that has seen him take fights in Mexico, Ghana, Romania and Dubai to name just a few of his destinations. He’s back in the UK and fights on December 11th vs Sam Eggington so we thought it was about we caught up with him.

Mon, 30 Nov 2020 - 98 - Macklin's Take #95 – The Big Fight Deep Dive with Ron Lewis – Joe Calzaghe vs Jeff Lacy
This week me & Matt Macklin are joined by top boxing writer Ron Lewis as we take a deep dive into the March 2006 World Super Middleweight unification clash between WBO champ Joe Calzaghe and IBF ruler Jeff Lacy. It was a make or break fight for Calzaghe. After years of defending his WBO title finally he had the big fight he’d been waiting for but when he walked to the ring in the early hours in Manchester Joe found himself the betting underdog against the big punching “Left Hook” Lacy. What followed was a complete masterclass from the Welshman and a win that both captured the attention of the boxing world and led to the great fights that crowned his career.

Mon, 23 Nov 2020 - 97 - Macklin's Take #94 – The Big Fight Deep Dive with Tim May - Tyson vs Douglas
This week me & Matt Macklin take a deep dive into the biggest upset in boxing history, James Buster Douglas’ stunning win against the unbeaten, undisputed Heavyweight champion of the world Iron Mike Tyson. Douglas 42/1 with the bookmakers when he walked to the ring in Tokyo in February 1990 and had been written off by everyone. Well, not quite everyone. Tim May was ringside covering the fight for the Columbus Dispatch, Douglas’ local paper in Ohio, had known Buster for years and was the only person to predict a Douglas win. Tim joined us to turn the clock back 30 years and it was fantastic to talk to him about his memories of the build-up and the fight itself. He still remembers it like it was yesterday.

Mon, 16 Nov 2020 - 96 - Macklin's Take #93 – The Big Fight Deep Dive with Steve Bunce - Benn vs Eubank
This week me & Matt Macklin take a deep dive into another big fight, this time in the company of our good friend Steve Bunce. For this one we turn the clock back 30 years to a Sunday night in November 1990 when Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank met in the ring for the first time. It was the greatest rivalry British boxing had ever seen and probably will ever see. The build-up was electric and the fight was a classic. Buncey was ringside that night and had followed both fighters from the beginning so was the perfect man to help us get under the skin of a legendary night.

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 - 95 - Macklin's Take #92 – The Big Fight Deep Dive with Mike Costello - Mayweather vs Hatton
This week me & Matt Macklin take a deep dive into another big fight, turning the clock back 13 years to December 2007 and the clash between Floyd Mayweather and Ricky Hatton. Two undefeated fighters, the build-up was like nothing we’d seen before involving a British fighter and fight week was the same as 1000s of Hatton fans invaded Las Vegas. Ringside that night calling the fight for the BBC was commentator Mike Costello and Mike joins us to give us his recollections of how the fight happened, the events of fight week, what transpired in the ring and the ensuing aftermath. We absolutely loved doing it so hope you enjoy it.

Ahead of Usyk vs Chisora at the weekend me and Matt talk to former WBC Cruiser champ Tony Bellew about what it was like to share the ring with the Ukrainian. And we also investigate the art of self-promotion, a key element in any boxer’s career and one that Tony was a master of. There was serious method behind his apparent madness and it was fascinating to have a look behind the curtain.

He told us exactly how Chisora is going to take the Ukrainian down and afterwards we took him on a little trip down memory lane to the night he beat Mormeck in Paris to scoop those Cruiser belts and also back to a certain press conference in Munich… Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

Wed, 28 Oct 2020 - 92 - Macklin's Take #89 with Enzo Maccarinelli
People have been asking for a while if we could do an episode on all aspects of boxing training so we thought it was about time we did. Sparring, drills, S&C, recovery, making weight, rehydration, we get into it all in depth and detail. And who better to get chapter and verse from than our good mate, former WBO Cruiserweight champion and fittest 40-year-old on the planet Enzo Maccarinelli. Enzo’s 20 year career has seen a lot change in terms of attitudes to training and him and Matt had plenty to say about all aspects. It was an education to be able to sit and listen in so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

This week on Macklin’s Take me and Matt take a deep dive into one of our favourite areas: International amateur boxing. And we do it in the company of Paul Walmsley, who’s just hung up his GB pads after 21 years as a top international coach, and Stephen Smith, a former protégé of Paul’s and a highly decorated amateur fighter back in the day. It was great fun, there’s nothing like tales from the amateur days.

This week for our bonus episode me and Matt look back at conversations we’ve had with fighters from the Emerald Isle. Ireland has long been a hotbed of boxing talent and has produced some great champions, amateur and pro, and here we feature 2004 Olympian and WBO Middleweight champion now trainer Andy Lee, 2008 Beijing silver medallist Kenny Egan, his old international amateur team mate now campaigning as a pro Eric Donovan and, last but not least, 2-weight world champion Carl Frampton.

Thu, 15 Oct 2020 - 88 - Macklin's Take #85 – Hagler vs Leonard Super Fight Special with Brian Doogan
This week on Macklin’s Take myself, Matt Macklin and author Brian Doogan turn the clock back to 1987 and the Super Fight between Marvelous Marvin Hagler & Sugar Ray Leonard. It was a fight that will forever have a place in boxing folklore and for good reason. A fight that was years in the making between two men who pursued different career paths and who lived different lives. Hagler vs Leonard is an epic boxing drama of Shakespearean proportions. Controversy still reigns over the result to this day and will do for years to come yet so it was an absolute pleasure to put it under the microscope and take a really close look.

This week’s bonus episode on Macklin’s Take sees us revisit conversations we’ve had in the past with trainers. We did a part one earlier in the year but we’ve had so many trainers on the podcast that there’s more than enough material to do ten of these probably!

In this one we bring you excerpts from pods we’ve done with Stefy Bull, a man who’s seen and done it all in pro boxing, Jedi mind games master Joe Gallagher, the understated trainer of champions that is Graham Everett and, last but not least, Mark Reigate, the gaffer at the famous Fitzroy Lodge club. A wide range of subjects gets covered so we hope you enjoy it 😊 Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.
