    "A short-lived boxing television series which featured up-and-coming boxers in a hip-hop format. Shown on Saturday afternoons throughout 2000 and 2001, the show featured dancers and hip-hop performances, and was hosted by Fran Charles and Kevin Kelley. Ed Lover was the "face" of the show, and was the ring announcer. The show ultimately failed to attract its target audience and drew low ratings. The show was cancelled in 2001."

      I was wondering what a longtime fan like yourself thought of it.

        It ****** bad. The only good thing might have been Kelley's commentary, he was pretty good.

          I'd forgotten all about that.

          I'd take Kevin over Kellerman or Steward any day of the week.

          Also ; BUMP for anybody else who remembers this disgrace of a boxing broadcast and wants to share memories.

            Yea I remember it I can remember Spaddy fighting on it but I would be hard pressed to name any really good fights that took place on KO nation though.

            I do remember Ed Lover though, lol.

              I could be wrong but I believe Biz Markie was the DJ, if it wasn't him it was some other washed up rapper/DJ.
