The tension had been building for quite some time between two of the most popular and prominent boxing radio shows on the internet today, Leave It In The Ring and On The Grind. Accusations of imitation and mimicry lobbied by On The Grind hosts Suge Green, Tim Kudgis and Paddy Cronan seemed to quickly anger David Duenez and Marlon Jordan, the hosts of Leave It In The Ring.
Only weeks ago, Jesse Rican had decided to trade his position at On The Grind in favor of a new spot on the Leave It In The Ring radio show. Since then, verbal jabs have increased back and forth between the two programmes on each successive episode. Initially, the words of disagreement seemed to be light-hearted and not serious but the landscape and feeling in the air quickly took on a more menacing, vengeful tone. Duenez and Jordan released video's on YouTube under their aliases, 97ruff and BloodBoxing, indicating that they were clearly angered by the belittling words of On The Grind, firing back with some harsh language of their own.
After BloodBoxing released his video, Redrum Is Truth Fea 97ruff, On The Grind quickly responded with Kudgis ultimately issuing a challenge at either Duenez or Jordan to a live boxing match. Today, an agreement seems to have been reached between the parties to hold a match between Marlon Jordan and Tim Kudges in L.A. The date is yet to be decided and there is no news as to whether it will be a televised event. One thing is for sure, this will be a grudge match and those usually offer the most excitement and entertainment.
Both these shows should be commended for preventing their disagreement in exploding on a street level and containing it within the contemporary rules of Boxing.
