It’s Tuesday, it’s the end of the year, and this is a podcast about the year in boxing!

John Hansen and myself return for one more episode of Prophets of Goom to close out 2022, and we’ve got our picks for the best and some of the worst in what was a rocky year for the sport.

PLUS! Ioka vs Franco, a bit of news, a bit of Q&A, and some other crap!

  • First Half: Kazuto Ioka vs Joshua Franco this weekend in Japan! A couple of reader questions!
  • Intermission: New Year’s Resolutions: Are they good?
  • Second Half: Year-end awards! Oh my! The good, the bad, the other stuff!

As always, thank you so much for listening!
