5.4. 3.2.1.0. Ignition. Lift off.

Oh yeah. Get some of this once again. It's an all box ao version of In This Corner with Brian

Campbell. And that is the voice you hear, the man with the plan, the Brian Campbell, invading all

five of your senses with that performance enhancing audio. You got to taste the past few weeks of what this podcast can bring from the world of

pro wrestling, but now we transition to that sweet science.

And who better, who better to join me than my former podcast partner on his 35th birthday, no less?

It's a ropes reunion with decorated editor, writer, author. I'll even add Philippine

television star to that resume. Rafe Bartholomew, we got the band back together. Rafe, how is it,

my man? Brian, don't call it a comeback. We've been here, right? We've been here for a couple

years, right? Right? Not bad. We were away for, what, a year and a half, but that was the time that boxing was kind of down.

2016 was that terrible year. Boxing's back. We're back. It feels good. I mean, you know, sticking together is what good waffles do. If you watch The Simpsons, you know what I'm talking about. You know, and Bryant, man, this is the best birthday present I could ask for,

other than turning 35 and feeling utterly washed.

But to get back on the microphone with you and talk boxing, I mean, there's some big-time

great relationships in this sport between, you know, real, real intense male bonding.

You think about Sean and Kenny Porter. You think about, you know,

Steve Smoger and Bernard Hopkins. And I think we belong in that category. So let's do this.

There's a lot of man love here. We are boxing bros, no doubt. If we are the Pachios, I like to fancy

myself, Mani. You got a little bit of a Bobby vibe. No, no, I take that back then. I'll be your boo boy all day, baby.

We're ready to rock. Got a lot to look back on after a busy weekend of boxing.

I have a lot to look forward to, of course, this Saturday in London, England,

when Anthony Joshua and Vladimir Clitch goes in one of the biggest heavyweight title fights

we have seen in many a year. We'll get into that.
