No Holds Barred: Michael Marley on Manny Pacquiao Conference Call, Mayweather-Pacquiao, and the Media
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman spoke with veteran boxing journalist Michael Marley.
Marley, who currently writes for the Examiner.com, also tried to speak by asking a question on Monday's media conference call featuring Manny Pacquiao, trainer Freddie Roach, and promoter Bob Arum, to publicize the May 2 Mayweather-Pacquiao mega-fight. But just minutes into the call, and after apparent confusion and general disorganization on it, Arum abruptly ended the call, and only right after the call's operator announced that the first question would be from Michael Marley. Arum interrupted the operator with an expletive, and said they should "reorganize" and that the call should be rescheduled. So the call was stopped prematurely.
We spoke with Michael Marley by phone Monday shortly after this abbreviated conference call, which we also play on this show.
"I wasn't looking to make a scene or anything. I just had a question I have in mind which I think is a valid question," he said.
"I wanted to ask Manny Pacquiao how he could believe or think or say that he can knock out or stop Mayweather, because the fact is that, all due respect to Pacquiao, a great champion, he'll be fighting one of the greatest defensive fighters ever. And that's coupled with the fact that Manny hasn't knocked anybody out since November 14th of 2009, when he stopped Miguel Cotto in the 12th round."
We went on to discuss what might happen in the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight and why he expects that this will be the first of what will become a trilogy of fights.
We also discussed the reduction of free access for the media to cover and interview fighters compared with the past, how this has only hurt boxing, his many years of experience in working with promoter Don King and in the media, and much more.

No Holds Barred: Bermane Stiverne, Deontay Wilder, Don King, Eric Gomez Conference Call
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman presents the media conference call with WBC heavyweight champ Berman Stiverne, unbeaten challenger and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Deontay Wilder, Stiverne's promoter Don King, and Eric Gomez, Senior Vice President of Golden Boy Promotions, which promotes Wilder. The subject was the January 17 Stiverne-Wilder heavyweight title fight.
Stiverne (24-1-1, 21 KOs), born in Haiti, living for many years in Canada, and now based in Las Vegas, Nevada, will be making the first defense of his belt. He won that title, then vacant, with a sixth-round TKO over Chris Arreola on May 10, 2014.
Wilder (32-0, 32 KOs), from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, has scored a KO or TKO in all of his pro fights, but has been criticized for not facing top contenders -- until now.
This fight will take place Saturday, January 17, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and will be televised live in the U.S. on Showtime, in Canada on the Fight Network, and in the U.K. on BoxNation.
Bermane Stiverne, Deontay Wilder, Don King, Eric Gomez, and several others involved in this fight were on the December 18 media conference call. Here we present the complete and unedited audio of it.
Stiverne, the less talkative of the two fighters, said, "Don't blink." The flashier Wilder, though as confident of victory as Stiverne, agreed with him on one thing, that this will be a short fight which will be ended by a knockout. The ever-quotable Don King promised that this fight will help the cause of "world peace". King also denounced the failure of grand juries to indict anyone for the deaths of Mike Brown and Eric Garner as "a tragedy".

No Holds Barred: Bernard Hopkins, Tavoris Cloud, Don King, and Reflections on Real Steel
The Cloud-Hopkins fight takes place Saturday, March 9, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and will be televised live in the U.S. on HBO.
In "Real Steel", set in the year 2020, robot boxing has replaced human boxing and, apparently, MMA. This film was just repeated on Showtime in the U.S. on Saturday, March 2 -- right before the live Showtime boxing card headlined by the wild Abril-Bogere fight.
The film "Real Steel" is loosely based on the 1956 short story "Steel" by Richard Matheson, which was made into a 1963 episode of "The Twilight Zone" TV series starring Lee Marvin. In both the short story and the TV show, boxing had been banned; the movie is more ambiguous about the future legal status of the human fighting sports. In the U.S., the debut show of the Robot Combat League on the Syfy network last Tuesday, February 26, featuring 12 eight-foot robot boxers in a tournament format, drew over 1.35 million viewers, with a total of nine weekly episodes already filmed.
Even before all this buzz about robot fighting, boxing has long been a largely tragic sport. It is a slowly dying sport that is killing its own people, but which we still sometimes love. Therein lies the degree of sadness with which we approach it, especially when a 48-year-old fighter is involved.
We spoke with Bernard Hopkins, Tavoris Cloud, Cloud's new trainer Abel Sanchez, and Cloud's promoter, the one and only Don King, about this fight on a media conference call this past Wednesday.
"It's going to be a barnburner on March the 9th," promised Don King on this conference call. "Get ready. We coming. We coming to Brooklyn. And no one could be prouder. And if you cannot hear us, we'll say it a little louder."
We shall see whose barn burns down Saturday night.

No Holds Barred: ONE FC 2 Review, Williams-Ishida Preview, Don King on Tournaments
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman draws some of the common lessons from mixed martial arts and boxing by reviewing the ONE FC 2 card and previewing the February 18 Paul Williams- Nobuhiro Ishida fight, as well learning from the teachings of the one and only Don King.
ONE FC had its second outing on Saturday, February 11, with a ten-fight card at the BritAma Arena, also known as Kelapa Gading Sports Mall, in North Jakarta, Indonesia. We discuss the fights on this entertaining show, including the main event and best fight on the card, a nonstop battle where Felipe Enomoto submitted Ole Laursen with a rear naked choke in the second round. We also examine which fighters gained the most from their wins, including Bae Young Kwon, who submitted previously-unbeaten Honorio Banario, also with a rear naked choke, in the first round of their fight. And we discuss some of the other lessons of this show, the good and bad on it, and how this show also advanced the international recognition of ONE FC and many of its fighters.
On Saturday, February 18, a major boxing card will be held in Corpus Christi, Texas, when former world champion Paul Williams (40-2, 27 KOs) takes on Nobuhiro Ishida (24-6-2, 9 KOs) of Osaka, Japan, and IBF light heavyweight champion Tavoris Cloud (24-0, 19 KOs) fights former world champion Gabriel Campillo (21-3-1, 8 KOs) of Madrid, Spain. This card will be telecast live in the U.S. on Showtime.
On a media conference call, we spoke with both Paul Williams and Nobuhiro Ishida about this fight and the direction of their careers. We also have comments from Don King calling for a light heavyweight tournament and the value of tournaments for boxing, an observation which is valid for all the combat sports.

No Holds Barred: Don King
On this audio edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman speaks with the one and only Don King.
Don King was in New York Tuesday, October 25, presiding over a news conference about the November 5 card he is promoting. Headlining that 11-fight show will be WBA cruiserweight champion Guillermo Jones (37-3-2, 29 KOs) defending his belt against Mike Marrone (20-3, 15 KOs), who is moving down from heavyweight. This card takes place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, and will be televised in the U.S. and streamed for free online by WealthTV.
In a typically spirited, entertaining, and opinionated presentation at the news conference, Don King argued that boxing is in a "downward spiral" and in need of major change, including the way the television networks handle the sport. Besides hyping this card, he introduced Robert Herring and Charles Herring of WealthTV, which will be telecasting its first boxing card.
We spoke with Don King right after the formal news conference about this card, what changes he wants to make in boxing, how he views some other topics like the Occupy Wall Street protests, and more. We also spoke with Charles Herring to learn more about WealthTV and its plans.
In addition, we present the entire, unedited audio of this news conference. And we also explain why, despite there being two other major televised boxing cards in the U.S. that same night, this one is likely to be the best.

No Holds Barred: Devon Alexander, Juan Urango, Don King
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman previews the 140-pound title unification fight between WBC champion Devon Alexander (19-0, 12 KOs) and IBF champion Juan Urango (22-2-1, 17 KOs). This fight will take place Saturday, March 6, at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, and be shown live in the U.S. on HBO.
We spoke with both Devon Alexander and Juan Urango on a media conference call this past week, and the discussion of how they each will approach this fight resulted in some verbal fireworks. We also spoke with Don King, who promotes Alexander, about the importance of title unification fights, and also got comments from him on the importance of the Internet media.
In addition, we contrast the Alexander-Urango fight, which should be very competitive, with the numerous mismatches and showcase fights typical of boxing, such as the Giovanni Segura-Walter Tello brawl this past Saturday night, February 20, which was entertaining but one-sided.

Meldrick Taylor, Eddie Goldman, Gumersindo Vidot on Joey Reynolds Show
Former Olympic and world champion Meldrick Taylor, Eddie Goldman of No Holds Barred, and Gumersindo Vidot, the publicist for Meldrick Taylor, were guests on the nationally-syndicated "Joey Reynolds Show" late Monday night/early Tuesday morning, Aug. 31/Sept. 1. Eddie Goldman is also the boxing correspondent for the "Joey Reynolds Show".
In the first half of our segment, Joey Reynolds and Eddie Goldman discussed a number of topics including the continuing controversy over the decision in the August 22 Paulie Malignaggi-Juan Diaz fight, the need for a rematch, how many of the people running boxing in America are ruining it, and also the growth and role of technology, especially in the media.
We were then joined by Meldrick Taylor and Gumersindo Vidot. The discussion turned to one of the most controversial fights in boxing history, the March 17, 1990, 140-pound title unification bout between two unbeaten champions, Meldrick Taylor and Julio Cesar Chavez, in Las Vegas, NV.
As the fight headed into the 12th and final round, Meldrick Taylor was well ahead on two of the scorecards. But in the closing seconds of that round, Chavez launched a final assault that sent Taylor to the canvas. With time running out, Taylor arose at about the count of six. While Taylor was standing straight up, however, referee Richard Steele stopped the fight -- with just two seconds remaining. Chavez stayed unbeaten and unified the belts, while Taylor suffered his first defeat in a stoppage which is still hotly debated today.
Meldrick Taylor's autobiography, "Two Seconds From Glory", has also been published. It is available through his web site at http://www.meldricktaylor.com/. The Chavez-Taylor fight of March 17, 1990, can be seen on YouTube.

No Holds Barred: Jeff Monson and the Future of Grappling
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman begins by noting the untimely passing of mixed martial arts fighter Evan Tanner. We also discuss the rescheduling of the Affliction mixed martial arts card and what this says about their marketing, advertising, and pay-per-view strategies. And we comment upon the possible entry into mixed martial arts of boxing promoter Don King.
This coming weekend, September 13-14, the USA Grappling World Team Trials will take place at Sierra College in Rocklin, Calif. This event is organized by USA Wrestling, the national governing body for the sport of wrestling. This is a qualifying event for the 2008 Grappling World Championships, which will be held in Lucerne, Switzerland, December 20-21.
Jeff Monson is an athlete known for his success in both grappling and mixed martial arts. A former ADCC submission wrestling world champion, and Pride and UFC veteran, he was both a world and U.S. champion in grappling in 2007. He will be competing at the Grappling World Team Trials this weekend in hopes of repeating.
We conducted a lengthy interview this Wednesday with Jeff Monson, discussing grappling, its future, how he compares grappling and fighting, his career, and more.

SecondsOut Radio: Roy Jones, Devon Alexander, Alex Bunema, Kevin Cunningham, Steve Cunningham, Cory Spinks
On this week's packed edition of SecondsOut Radio, host Eddie Goldman reviews the card which took place this past Saturday night, January 19, at Madison Square Garden in New York. It was headlined by the unanimous decision victory by Roy Jones Jr. (52-4, 38 KOs) over Felix "Tito" Trinidad Jr. (42-3, 35 KOs). This fight was held at a catch weight of 170 pounds.
We have the comments of Roy Jones at the postfight news conference. We also spoke with Roy Jones afterwards along with members of the media. He discussed the fight, how he evaluated his performance, the injury he had coming into it, and his future plans.
We also spoke with 20-year-old rising junior welterweight prospect Devon Alexander (14-0, 8 KOs), who passed the toughest test of his young pro career by winning a 12-round unanimous decision over former world champion DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley (31-8-1, 17 KOs). And we spoke with Kevin Cunningham, his manager and trainer.
Alex Bunema went into his junior middleweight fight Saturday night with former world champion Roman Karmazin a big underdog, and was behind on the scorecards as the fight progressed. But Bunema surprised many by knocking out Karmazin in the tenth round, and revived his career. We spoke with Alex Bunema after his fight.

NO HOLDS BARRED: Roy Jones, Don King, Tank Abbott, Kimbo Slice, Gary Shaw, Devon Alexander, Zuffa-Couture Lawsuit
On this edition of NO HOLDS BARRED, host Eddie Goldman begins by discussing the disgraceful lawsuit filed Monday in Clark County District Court in Nevada by Zuffa, the parent company of the UFC, against their most popular fighter, Randy Couture. As usual, this commentary is no-holds-barred.
We next discuss the card scheduled for this coming Saturday, January 19, at Madison Square Garden in New York, headlined by the clash between boxing legends Roy Jones. Jr. (51-4, 38 KOs) and Felix "Tito" Trinidad Jr. (42-2, 35 KOs). This card will be telecast in the U.S. on HBO Pay-Per-View.
We got comments from Roy Jones. Jr. about why he is so confident that he will win this fight. We spoke with promoter Don King to get his response to criticisms by some in the media of this card. And we spoke with 20-year-old rising junior welterweight prospect Devon Alexander (13-0, 8 KOs), who has the toughest assignment of his young pro career when he faces former world champion DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley (31-7-1, 17 KOs).
We also begin to preview the EliteXC mixed martial arts card scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 16, at the BankUnited Center on the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables, FL. That card will be shown live in the U.S. on Showtime. The main event of that card pits Internet street fighter Kimbo Slice, who is now a professional MMA fighter training with Bas Rutten, against the MMA veteran David "Tank" Abbott.
We spoke with both Tank Abbott and Kimbo Slice about this fight on a media teleconference call Wednesday. We also spoke with promoter Gary Shaw, the EliteXC Live Events President, about how his view on what EliteXC is and will do, and about how they treat their fighters.

SecondsOut Radio: Roy Jones, Felix Trinidad, Larry Hazzard
On this week's edition of SecondsOut Radio, host Eddie Goldman previews the Roy Jones. Jr.-Felix Trinidad Jr. fight and undercard scheduled for this coming Saturday, January 19, at Madison Square Garden in New York. This card will be telecast in the U.S. on HBO Pay-Per-View.
We spoke with both Roy Jones Jr. and Felix Trinidad Jr. at news conferences about what they expect to happen in this fight.
We also spoke with Larry Hazzard Sr., who had been the commissioner of the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board. For almost 22 years, he had headed this commission, which regulates combat sports in that state. In November 2007, however, with no warning or even any reason being given, he was dismissed from that position.
In October 2007, his attorney, James Binns, acting on his behalf, had submitted a letter to New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine outlining a series of major charges of alleged "malfeasance" against officials on the State Athletic Control Board. No response was provided to that letter – except to fire Larry Hazzard a few short weeks later.
Now he is fighting back. A lawsuit was filed Friday, Jan. 4, 2008, in the U.S. District Court of New Jersey against New Jersey state officials alleging, in essence, that he was fired for speaking up and exposing this alleged "malfeasance" on the New Jersey commission.
Right before the Paulie Malignaggi-Herman Ngoudjo fight card at Bally's Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City Saturday, January 5, Larry Hazzard, along with attorneys James Binns and Sidney Gold, held a news conference. We bring you that press conference in full, plus a follow-up discussion immediately afterwards with Larry Hazzard and a few members of the media.

NO HOLDS BARRED: Samuel Peter, Jameel McCline, Don King, Kevin McBride, Buddy McGirt, Dino Duva, Ken Hershman, Joe Dwyer
On this edition of NO HOLDS BARRED, host Eddie Goldman previews the next major boxing show at Madison Square Garden in New York, which takes place this Saturday, October 6.
This card is headlined by the first title defense by the newly-crowned WBC interim heavyweight champion, Samuel Peter (28-1, 22 KOs), who faces challenger Jameel McCline (38-7-3, 23 KOs). This fight will be shown live in the US on Showtime.
Peter hopes to use this fight as a showcase for his claim that he is the best heavyweight boxer in the world. McCline, a late replacement for regular WBC champ Oleg Maskaev, who pulled out claiming a back injury, hopes to derail these plans and pull an upset.
At the prefight news conference at the Garden Wednesday, we spoke with both principals, Samuel Peter and Jameel McCline. We also spoke with heavyweight Kevin McBride (34-5-1, 29 KOs), who fights the unpredictable Andrew Golota (39-6-1, 32 KOs) on this card, and McBride's new trainer, Buddy McGirt.
We spoke with Dino Duva, Peter's promoter, to clarify the history of why and how his fighter was named the WBC interim champion. We also discuss their plans for Sam Peter to try to unify the various heavyweight titles. We also spoke with veteran boxing official Joe Dwyer, now a member of the Board of Governors of the WBC, to explain that body's actions in this situation.
And we spoke with promoter Don King, who co-promotes Peter, and Ken Hershman, senior vice president and general manager, sports and event programming at Showtime. We discussed this fight and the future of the heavyweight division. We also discussed with Ken Hershman Showtime's boxing, mixed martial arts, and entertainment programming.

At a prefight news conference at the Garden, we spoke with a confident Oleg Maskaev and his trainer, Victor Valle Jr. We also spoke with an equally confident Samuel Peter and the legendary trainer Lou Duva. We spoke with former champion Jose Antonio Rivera (38-5-1, 24 KOs), who fights another former champion, Daniel Santos (30-3-1, 21 KOs), in a super welterweight co-feature on this card. We spoke with promoter Don King, who as always had a lot to say about this card. And we got a comment from activist and former Democratic presidential candidate Rev.

SecondsOut Radio with Eddie Goldman
On this week's edition of SecondsOut Radio, host Eddie Goldman begins by reviewing one of the best fight cards of the year. Called "Fistic Fireworks", this event was held Saturday, July 7, at the Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and featured four upsets in eight bouts, including two in its three title fights.
On that card, Joachim Alcine (29-0, 18 KOs) of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, captured the WBA super welterweight title by upsetting the previously-unbeaten Travis Simms (25-1, 19 KOs) of nearby Norwalk, Connecticut, with a unanimous decision. We spoke with the new champion, Joachim Alcine, after his victory.
Also on that card, Luis Perez (25-1, 16 KOs) won the vacant IBF bantamweight title by scoring a seventh-round TKO over Genaro Garcia (35-6, 20 KOs). We spoke with Luis Perez after his win. Also on the undercard, veteran heavyweight Cliff Couser (26-12-2, 14 KOs) upset recent heavyweight title contender Monte Barrett (31-6, 17 KOs) with a second-round TKO. We also spoke with Cliff Couser after his fight.
This card also included the memorable one-punch knockout by Nonito Donaire (18-1, 10 KOs) of another previously-undefeated fighter, Vic Darchinyan (28-1, 22 KOs), to win the IBF flyweight title in yet another upset.
The impresario for this night of the unexpected was promoter Don King. We spoke with him to get his typically understated reaction to the night's in-ring fireworks.
This coming weekend will also see more boxing action.
At Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, former world champion Arturo Gatti (40-8, 31 KOs) faces Alfonso Gomez (16-3-2, 7 KOs), and IBF welterweight champ Kermit Cintron (27-1, 25 KOs) defends his title against Walter Matthysse (26-1, 25 KOs, 1 NC). Also on July 14, at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., WBO welterweight champion Antonio Margarito (34-4, 1 NC, 24 KOs) defends his title against the undefeated challenger, Paul Williams (32-0, 24 KOs). The Gatti-Gomez, Cintron-Matthysse, and Margarito-Williams fights will all be shown live in the US on HBO.
We got a chance to speak with Arturo Gatti, Alfonso Gomez, Antonio Margarito, and Paul Williams on a series of media teleconference calls.
Also on July 14, the 38-year-old former pound-for-pound king Roy Jones Jr. (50-4, 38 KOs) continues his quest to return to his old form by taking on the undefeated Anthony Hanshaw (21-0-1, 14 KOs) on a pay-per-view card from the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Miss. We spoke with both Roy Jones Jr. and Anthony Hanshaw on another media teleconference call.

SecondsOut Radio: Travis Simms, Don King, Scot X. Esdaile
On this week's edition of SecondsOut Radio, host Eddie Goldman begins by commenting on some aspects of Ricky Hatton's impressive fourth-round knockout of Jose Luis Castillo this past Saturday in Las Vegas which others have overlooked.
We next focus on what should be a Super Saturday for boxing, July 7.
On that day, in Cologne Germany, IBF heavyweight champ Wladimir Klitschko will try to avenge his April 2004 loss to challenger Lamon Brewster in a title fight scheduled for 12 rounds. That fight will be screened in most countries as a live Internet pay-per-view on SecondsOut.tv, at http://www.secondsout.com/ppv. (The Internet pay-per-view will not be available in North America, Germany, and Russia.)
That same day, July 7, will see a clash of unbeaten fighters as WBA super welterweight champion Travis Simms (25-0, 19 KOs) puts his belt on the line against Joachim Alcine (28-0, 18 KOs). This fight headlines a card at the Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Connecticut, not far from Simms's hometown of Norwalk, Connecticut. It will be shown live in the US on Showtime, and is promoted by Don King Productions.
This past Thursday there was a press conference in Bridgeport to kick off the promotion of this card. We were there and got a chance to speak with Travis Simms, Don King, and Scot X. Esdaile of the Connecticut NAACP, which is involved in supporting this event.

SecondsOut Radio: Acelino Freitas, Juan Diaz, Don King, Ronnie Shields, Oscar Suarez
On this week's edition of SecondsOut Radio, host Eddie Goldman previews the highly-anticipated title unification fight between WBO lightweight champion Acelino Freitas (38-1, 32 KOs), from Salvador, Brazil, and WBA lightweight champion Juan Diaz (31-0, 15 KOs), from Houston, Texas. This fight will take place this coming Saturday, April 28, at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, and will be shown live in the U.S. on HBO.
We spoke with both Freitas and Diaz at a recent New York news conference at the famed Friars Club. We also spoke with Don King, Diaz's promoter, about the controversy over whether the WBA would sanction this as a title unification bout. In addition, we spoke with the trainers, Ronnie Shields, who trains Diaz, and Oscar Suarez, who trains Freitas, about their approaches to this fight.
Plus, we discuss how this latest episode of "Sanctioning Bodies Gone Wild" in the lightweight division once more highlights the need for the creation of an independent rankings poll by boxing journalists।
