Former WBC Light Heavyweight Boxing Champ Montell "ICE" Griffin dropped by the lab to discuss his life in the ring, how he got there and his new book!

Montell "ICE" Griffin is best known for winning a fight against Roy Jones Jr, but he is much more than that. Montell Griffin was born June 6, 1970 in Chicago. By age 22, Griffin was living in Midway City, California and defeated Frank Vassar of Spokane, Washington in the 1992 U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships.  He defeated future  heavyweight contender Jeremy Williams at the box-offs, to make the 1992  Olympic team. After his 1996 win over Toney, Griffin landed a shot at WBC light-heavyweight title holder Roy Jones Jr.   Griffin handed Jones his first professional defeat via a  disqualification. A frustrated Jones dropped Griffin with a series of  hard and fast, head and body punches in round nine, and then hit him  again twice on the head after Griffin had taken a knee on the canvas,  leading to Jones's disqualification.  They had an immediate rematch, and  on August 21, Jones regained the WBC title by knocking out Griffin in  the first round. After the loss to Jones, Griffin remained a top-ranked  light-heavyweight for six years. He won 11 of his next 12 bouts, losing  only a controversial split decision to undefeated but unknown southpaw Eric Harding, despite knocking him down and out-landing him according to punch-stats. Nevertheless, you can hear about this and much more including the time "ICE" stood up then wife up because Charlie Murphy invited him to kick it one night and the time Muhammad Ali tried to gift his daddy a Rose Royce and more.... #googlepodcast#podcastlife #newpodcast #googlepodcast #spotifypodcast #blackpodcast #podcast #blackpodcasters #dopeblackpods #podcastlife #spotify #podsincolor #blackpodcasts #podcastersofinstagram #podcasts #podcasting #blackgirlmagic #podcaster #blackpodcastnetwork #applepodcast #podcastingwhileblack #blackpodcaster #applepodcasts #podcasters #blacklove #podcastmovement #newpodcast #podcastshow #blackexcellence #youtube anchor.fm/wardy-ward and PANDORA!!!!!!!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wardy-ward/message
