I love everything about this podcast. The fact that Tris researches (or just knows about) the interviewee leads to in depth and inciteful content which you don't get with off the hoof interviews. He gets the right balance of being respectful without blowing smoke. Boxing people seem to open up to him because he has no bias or ulterior agenda.
I want to listen to your narration again. It's a lot of fun and I love listening to it so I'd like to recommend my site to you. https://popmovie888.com
best boxing pod by a mile.
brilliant
My 2cnd all time favourite boxer, to my top Sugar Ray Leonard. Brilliant interview, and interviewee. Brilliant podcast. Well done, and hope things get better Joe. Thankyou for this. Fascinating insight and touching too. A must listen, and subscription!
Another brilliant episode. Barry was insightful and candid which is the best aspect of these long form podcasts. It would have been great to hear a bit more about events such as GGG v Canelo as it was one of the fights of this generation and Barry was ringside. Knowing in detail about what goes into such a day/event both logistically and emotionally would be hugely interesting. However, it is understandable that you can't spend hours on each subject (although I'd listen).
Amazing Podcast. It's a massive treat and thr hours fly by. Best podcast out there every question and answer on all interviews has bite or meaning. It's rich in entertaining stories and I think every boxer should be on it and have their say. The questions are bang on and not afraid to ask the hard questions. Tis wicked banging
Really interesting to listen to, Ashley has a very interesting perspective on life. Thank you for a very enjoyable and knowledgeable podcast
I was able to find good information from your blog articles. https://unlockmytv.fun/
brilliant podcast tris I know booth doesnt care about peoples praise haha but what a interesting character he is , brilliant trainer conlan etc very lucky to have him nurture them. your podcasts with sims don charles and Andy lee are great too. keep up the good work mate
A very good insight to the world of boxing, always enjoy the interview style that encourages open & honest accounts. Think Claude is onto something when he highlights the advantages of podcasts over TV interviews - I find they get closer to the source.
Brilliant..... I never knew I liked Chris eubank jnr.
absolutely brilliant listen, not only this episode but all of them. the time dedicated to the people being interviewed is second to none. Barry Jones what a brilliant guy
Adam Booth in a good mood is great to listen to.
Absolutely fantastic podcast with real hard edge conversations not found anywhere else.
best podcast in the world . so much great stuff you cant get anywhere else and you can tell he knows how to get the stories out of people. we are all stories. advice from everyone's own story is priceless. makes doing housework a rich educational journey. dude
great man. I'm 38 and thinking of taking 3 months off work to try in welsh amateur championships before I'm too old. had 14 wins 20 years ago and have been training at home for the last year. this podcast is great to keep me on track. cheers
