Is Bryant “Too Smoove” Brown Boxing’s Next Superstar?

Episode 7 of The KG Show features undefeated Detroit professional boxer Bryant “Too Smoove” Brown. Bryant is 4-0 with 3 KOs and one of Michigan’s rising prospects. While in Grand Rapids supporting his Punchtown Boxing teammates at the King of the Jungle National Championships, he stopped by the studio to talk about his journey through boxing and where he’s headed next. We get into his amateur career, nearly walking away from the sport, reconnecting with coach Noah Godoy, and how finding the right team completely changed his confidence, mentality, and approach to boxing. Bryant also talks about the culture at Punchtown, becoming a leader for the younger fighters coming up behind him, and what it means to keep believing in yourself when your path hasn’t always been easy. We also dive into the business of being a professional fighter, including building the Too Smoove brand, creating limited-edition merchandise for each fight, marketing yourself outside the ring, and understanding that being a professional boxer is about more than just winning fights. Then we get into the fights themselves. Bryant breaks down how he recognizes when an opponent is beginning to break, what he can actually feel through his punches, getting caught early in his most recent fight, and the lesson he took away from the experience. Plus, we talk about what’s next as Too Smoove looks to move to 5-0. Subscribe for more conversations from inside boxing, combat sports, and beyond. The KG Show The fight. The fringe.
