Chris has been doing this since 2009, which shows real dedication to sports media. His Rope A Dope Boxing Podcast is one of the longest-running boxing shows out there, and that kind of consistency matters. He brings genuine passion to everything he covers.

I’ve watched sports eve since I was a child. Some of my first memories were Sugar Ray Leonard fighting Roberto Duran. Or Doug Flutie’s Hail Mary against Miami. I remember Magic Johnson and Larry Bird going at it. I was neutral to an extent although Magic was the first player I cheered for. His style of play, smile, and the fact my grandfather told me about the Minneapolis Lakers. Not only do I love football, boxing, and basketball, I played almost every sport growing up. Whether it was for my city, school, or around the neighborhood, sports have been a major influence on my life.

I followed the day-to-day sports world by consuming newspaper columns and box scores ever since I can remember. Eventually I started a podcast covering boxing back in 2009. I’m proud to say my Rope A Dope Boxing Podcast is one of the longest running boxing only podcasts in the sport. My focus is Boxing year-round, College Football and Basketball, along with the NBA Playoffs, Vikings, & Timberwolves. I also write weekly prediction articles. I’m currently researching/developing a true crime podcast about the Prohibition era in Minnesota.
