Sean & Johnston explore the ramifications of one of the most infamous moments in the history of professional boxing. On March 24, 1962, at Madison Square Garden in New York, Emile Griffith [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emile_Griffith] pummelled Benny “The Kid” Paret [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Paret] to death, live on national television. Before all this could take place there is the tale of homophobia, three brutal fights, poor decision-making, and that one fatal night which would send shockwaves around the world and leave the public questioning whether boxing had a place in the sports world.

Panamanian Roberto Duran [https://www.thefightcity.com/happy-birthday-roberto-special-video-tribute-for-roberto-duran-from-lee-wylie/] and Puerto Rican Esteban De Jesus [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esteban_de_Jes%C3%BAs] found themselves embroiled in one of boxing’s great rivalries; over the course of five years these two proud Latino legends faced off on three occasions. Each fight is memorable for its ferocity and for how it impacted each man’s career. But the rivalry would ultimately be defined as much by what happened outside the ring as by the punches they exchanged inside it.
