In this explosive episode, we sit down with elite boxing coach Fareed Samad, the man behind Train2Perfection, to uncover the untold stories and hard truths about boxing's golden era and today’s fight scene. From working with the legendary 1996 USA Olympic Boxing Team—featuring stars like Floyd Mayweather, Fernando Vargas, and David Reid—to reviving the lost art of mitt work, Fareed dives deep into what it takes to create elite-level fighters.

He shares insights on father-son dynamics in boxing, spills tea on icons like Mike Tyson and Antonio Tarver, and even weighs in on the modern boxing scene, including his takes on fighters like David Benavidez, Liam Paro, and the UFC's hardest punchers. Fareed doesn’t hold back on what’s missing in boxing today, the impact of cultural influences like the Brownsville Curse, and why technical fundamentals need to make a comeback.

Whether you're a boxing enthusiast or a fan of combat sports history, this episode delivers a knockout!
