On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman speaks with Chica Loca, the marketing chair for the WFTDA, the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (http://www.wftda.com/). She is also a skater with the Sacred City Derby Girls of Sacramento, California (http://www.sacredcityderbygirls.com/). This show is part of our continuing coverage of the exciting sport of roller derby, the fastest-growing sport in America.

Our main topic is the Northwest Knockdown, which is the 2008 WFTDA National Championship (http://www.northwestknockdown.com/). This three-day tournament will be held Friday, November 14, though Sunday, November 16, at the Portland Expo Center in Portland, Oregon.

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 discuss how the November 8 card at Madison Square Garden in New York, headlined by the one-sided drubbing by Joe Calzaghe of Roy Jones Jr., was yet another sign of the long decline of American boxing. We also discuss this theme with Keisha Morrisey (http://keishamorrisey.com), who was there covering the fight. We discuss the fight itself, the future of Roy Jones Jr. after this loss, why fighters need to learn the boxing business, the poor marketing done to get the fans to know who these fighters are, the failure to reach the urban market, and more.
