Summary

In this knockout episode of Screw The Clout, host Steve Stanulis sits down with Lou Esa — former American heavyweight boxer known for his raw power and even rawer truth. From brutal rounds in the ring to navigating the illusions of fame, Lou opens up like never before. He shares the highs and lows of his boxing career, battles with public perception, and why he’s always lived by principle, not popularity. It’s an unfiltered look at loyalty, betrayal, and surviving both the fight game and the fame game. With gloves off and guard down, Lou Esa tells the story behind the fighter — the man, the legend, and the message.
