We have partnered with a boxing podcast with a uniquely Canadian flavour. Hosted by Canuckleheads Carlin Bardsley & Shawn W. Smith, each week, The Standing 8 Count will bring you plenty of boxing banter, commentary, and pugilistic prognostication!

Also, we review the much anticipated catch-weight fight between Adrian Broner and Shawn Porter, talk about David Lemieux’s big win and our we look back on the classic fight of the week which is Ingemar Johansson and Floyd Patterson 1! Listen to us say “toonder poonch”!
