No Holds Barred: Melvina Lathan, Gov. David Paterson, Larry Hazzard, Randy Gordon
http://nhbnews.podOmatic.com/entry/2008-07-26T05_51_32-07_00
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman focuses on the appointment of longtime boxing judge Melvina Lathan as head of the New York State Athletic Commission.
We start with a commentary on the significance of this appointment, and what it means for the sports of boxing and mixed martial arts in New York.
At a ceremony held Friday, July 25, at the Police Athletic League in Harlem, New York, officially announcing her appointment, we got comments from Melvina Lathan about her new job, boxing, and MMA. We have the statements both she and New York Governor David Paterson made at this ceremony. We also asked Governor David Paterson about his attitude to MMA coming to New York. And we got the very positive comments of Larry Hazzard, former head of the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board, and Randy Gordon, former head of the New York State Athletic Commission and now co-host of the show Fight Club on Sirius Satellite Radio, about the appointment of Melvina Lathan, and boxing and MMA.
Also, No Holds Barred is available through iTunes at http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=150801513&s=143441.
The show is in MP3 format, so may take some time to download.
The No Holds Barred theme song is called "The Heist", by musician Ian Carpenter (http://iancarpenter.com/).
Make sure to check out my regular weekly boxing show SecondsOut Radio, at http://www.secondsout.com/radio/. On this week's edition of SecondsOut Radio, we begin by criticizing the build-up for this Saturday's important welterweight title fight between Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito. In particular, the pay-per-view model, the reliance on nationalism, and the failure to use the Internet properly are singled out. In our interview this week, we speak with the award-winning boxing writer Charles Farrell. In a lengthy and candid discussion, the topics include the Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito fight, the controversy arising from this past Wednesday's rematch between heavyweights James Toney and Hasim Rahman, the major injury suffered by Oscar Diaz in his fight with Delvin Rodriguez this past Wednesday which required emergency brain surgery, and more.

THE TRUTH IS REVEALED ABOUT ONE OF SPORTS’ MOST DISPICABLE ACTS
BOXING’S MOST SHAMEFUL CRIME FULLY EXPOSED AT LAST; BOXER’S KNUCKLES WERE CAST IN PLASTER PADDING REMOVED FROM GLOVES, Truth Revealed Behind Assault of “Irish” Billy Collins Jr. Luis Resto Comes Clean After 25 Years Motion Filed Against State of New York.
New York City- Details will be revealed regarding the filing of a motion to reopen the case of the Collins-Resto boxing scandal with the Federal Court of Claims against the State of New York.
As the 25th anniversary of the incident approaches that forever changed the lives of boxers “Irish” Billy Collins Jr. and the Bronx’ Luis Resto, new evidence has been uncovered during the making of the film Cornered—which exposes the true nature of the crime to be much worse than previously reported.
Will justice finally be served for the Collins family and estate? Will the sport of boxing finally gain closure of this open wound?
The date of June 16, 1983, forever will taint the history of New York sports and the world of boxing. That evening at Madison Square Garden, a shameful chain of events ended a promising young boxer’s career and changed the lives of many associated with the tragic scandal.
Nashville, Tennessee’s 'Irish' Billy Collins Jr. was an undefeated welterweight and fulfilling every boxer’s dream of fighting in the world’s most famous arena. Collins’opponent, Luis Resto, had his own aspirations by playing the spoiler role as the Bronx underdog who rose to the occasion in front of the hometown fans. What transpired in the Collins-Resto fight was so heinous it led to Resto’s conviction, incarceration and lifetime ban from boxing.
Now, as the 25th anniversary of the incident approaches, new evidence has been uncovered during the making of the film Cornered—which exposes the true nature of the tragic crime to be much worse than previously reported or known.
“New revelations may lead to revived litigation,” said Marc R. Thompson of Manhattan’s Pulvers, Pulvers and Thompson, the attorney for Andrea Collins-Nile, widow of late the Billy Collins Jr.
Now, 25 years later, it’s asked: Will justice finally be served for the Collins family and estate? Will the sport of boxing finally gain closure of this open wound? The answers start coming forth Thursday, April 3.
News Conference - announcing plans to re-open the case of the Collins-Resto scandal
Reenactment of the crime - never-before-seen demonstration, Official Motion Being Filed Against New York State. Plus, a surprise witness to the crime. The film Cornered exposes the whole truth behind what really happened that June evening in the world’s most famous arena. Cornered reveals the lurid chain of events that allowed a boxer to endure a 30-minute assault. What transpired before and during the Collins-Resto fight was so heinous it led to Resto’s conviction, incarceration and lifetime ban from boxing. The brutally-beaten Collins quickly fell into a tragic downward spiral.
Cornered picks up with the lives of those people still affected by the crime 25 years later and answers many unanswered questions such as why was this despicable act carried out for the Collins-Resto fight in particular? And, how did the perpetrators manage to get the tampered gloves past New York State Athletic Commission officials? The film helps boxing gain closure to an open wound, but will justice finally be served for the Collins family estate?
