On this week's edition of SecondsOut Radio, host Eddie Goldman discusses the present and past of boxing, and its present and past champions. This coming Saturday, November 1, there will be a title unificationbout in one of boxing's most exciting and talented weight classes, the super flyweight division (115 pounds). WBA and WBC champion Cristian Mijares (35-3-2, 13 KOs), of Gomez Palacio, Mexico, will face IBF champion Vic Darchinyan (30-1-1, 24 KOs), of Sydney, Australia, at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. This fight will be telecast live on Showtime in the U.S. We spoke with both Cristian Mijares and Vic Darchinyan on a media conference call this past week about what to expect in this fight. Boxing is also a sport in which you can live simultaneously in thepresent and the past, and sanely, too. A new book by veteran boxing writer George Kimball transports us back into the past by tracing theintertwined careers of Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvelous Marvin Hagler,Thomas Hearns, and Roberto Duran. The book is entitled Four Kings:Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran and the Last Great Era of Boxing(http://www.mcbooks.com/bookstore/product_details.php?id=739). We spoke with George Kimball about his book and the past, present, andfuture of boxing, right before the Oct. 18 Bernard Hopkins-KellyPavlik fight in Atlantic City, and after he had participated in aforum on the book with trainer Emanuel Steward, promoter Bob Arum, andannouncer Larry Merchant.
