On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman speaks with our
colleague and correspondent, Charles Farrell.
In a spirited and lengthy discussion, we review Wladimir Klitschko's
predictable TKO victory over Ruslan Chagaev on Saturday, June 20, in
Germany in a fight for several alphabet heavyweight belts. We critique
this fight and the performance of both fighters, as well as the entire
woeful heavyweight division.
We also discuss the disgraceful state of boxing journalism today, and
why we do not take seriously what we read in The Ring magazine,
including their recognition of Wladimir Klitschko as their
"heavyweight champion of the world". And we lament the danger both to
fighter safety and public health that this fight entailed, since
Chagaev had tested positive for the hepatitis B antigen, and would not
have been allowed to fight in many countries.
But we also explain why we do see hope for boxing in many other weight
divisions, and especially outside the U.S.
