On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman begins bycommenting again on the growth of the sport of roller derby in theU.S. This Saturday, June 14, EliteXC has another major televised mixedmartial arts show. This one will be shown on Showtime in the U.S. andbe held in the Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii. In the main event, EliteXC lightweight champion KJ Noons will defendhis title against the veteran Yves Edwards. In the co-feature, theversatile and controversial lightweight Nick Diaz will take on MuhsinCorbbrey, who has also been a pro boxer. On a media teleconference call this week, we spoke with KJ Noons, YvesEdwards, and Muhsin Corbbrey about their fights. This Friday, June 13, in a bout being billed as for pound-for-poundsupremacy in women's boxing, welterweight champion Holly Holm (21-1-2,6 KOs) will fight unbeaten middleweight champion Mary Jo Sanders(25-0, 8 KOs) in the ten-round main event for the vacant IFBA worldjunior middleweight belt. This fight headlines a women's boxing cardwhich will be shown on pay-per-view television in North America and onSecondsOut.TV elsewhere. We spoke with both champions, Mary Jo Sanders and Holly Holm, on amedia teleconference call this week, about what to expect in thisfight. In disappointing but not entirely unexpected news, the InternationalFight League (IFL) announced this week that they are cancelling theirplanned august 15 show at the Meadowlands. In both a news release andon a media teleconference call, IFL CEO Jay Larkin explained thisdecision and outlined their business plans.
