Third Man in the Ring

Wrestling #26

My name is Ray Corona. My friends call me Popeye Ray. I am a professional boxing referee with a few MMA bouts under my belt. Listening to this podcast you will hear from a pro ref's perspective on fighting and life. We will be having professional boxing referees, actors, fighters, and others on as guests. If you have questions for refs on certain fights and certain calls, this is the place to ask. Reach out to us at thirdmanintheringpodcast@gmail.com

    Best podcast to gain a deeper understanding of the behind the scenes workings of boxing. Great job by Popeye Ray giving access to everyday viewers to the heads of the commission and other boxing insiders in a down to earth way.
