Anytime people bring Chael Sonnen into the boxing world’s punditry for big fights the results are always brilliant, but carnage in a good way.
Sonnen frequently leaves behind him a trail of destruction of anything that gets in his way.
Alas, former UFC title challenger and MMA analyst, Chael Sonnen is one of the most successful podcasters in the world nowadays of course –with his booming podcast that is growing all the time.
Occasionally when big name MMA fighters or UFC fighters decide to fight in professional boxing, sometimes organizers in boxing decide to bring him over where appropriate for his insights, which are brutally honest, always very unpredictable but often correct, unfiltered and cut throat in analysis.
Now, Ring Magazine have brought together one of the greatest boxing writers and analysts of all time (after Bert Sugar that is — not garbage analysis from Thomas Hauser — Bert and Rafael a million times ahead of Hauser in America) — Dan Rafael and Sonnen together in a new boxing segment here ‘Between The Rounds’ — where they talked ‘Tank’, Tyson and more:
As you can see, this new segment is already hitting the ground running and off to a hit and success already.
An unusual combination the above but one that works quite well.
Good to see the Ring back up and running with a team of excellent writers like Idec, Fisher, Montero, Jake Donavan and more.
Others of note we would recommend would be Pugmire of Boxing Scene, Salvidor Rodriguez in Central, Latin and South America, Steve Breadman when he is around is quite good analysis in the US too — Tris Dixon, Steve Bunce and others very knowledgeable in the UK too.
Boxing fans as some have mentioned recently must use discernment, common sense and be pragmatic when ascertaining who is genuine and not in the boxing media landscape, which, is changing rapidly due to the technological market in 2025 and beyond, in terms of downloading data on fights, fighters and the sport.
Boxing fans are very smart of course and frequently are well able to do this — the above some genuinely very good people in that space in the sport — to note.
