No Holds Barred: Charles Farrell on Mayweather-Canelo
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman once again spoke with our colleague, correspondent, and award-winning boxing writer, Charles Farrell, who is also co-editor of The Boxing Standard (http://boxingstandard.com).
Our main subject was what is expected to be the biggest fight this year, and perhaps the biggest grossing pay-per-view of all time, the September 14 showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
In this bout between these two unbeaten fighters, the 36-year-old pound-for-pound king Mayweather (44-0, 26 KOs) faces the 23-year-old WBA and WBC 154-pound champion Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KOs) at a catch weight of 152 pounds. It takes place Saturday, September 14, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and will be shown live in the U.S. on Showtime pay-per-view, in the U.K. on BoxNation, in Mexico on Televisa, and also on many networks around the world. The event is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, Golden Boy Promotions, and Canelo Promotions.
We spoke with Charles Farrell Thursday to preview this fight.
Mayweather is the favorite to win this fight, and we both agreed with that assessment.
"I do think it should be a pretty decisive win for Mayweather," said Charles Farrell. "Aside from some difference in size -- Canelo is a bigger guy and he's a growing guy -- I don't see that Mayweather doesn't have every appreciable advantage. There's nothing that Canelo does that he hasn't seen many, many times before." He added that he expects the likeliest outcome to be a comfortable 12-round decision for Mayweather.
However, this being boxing, we also discussed the possibility, as some others have as well, that Mayweather would win the fight but would lose the decision. Robberies and horribly bad decisions are common in boxing, so we discussed the business considerations behind such a possibility, including Canelo's popularity and potential longevity as a star.
We also discussed the many prominent boxing writers "who don't know anything about boxing", as well as some comments on the compelling co-feature on this show, where WBA and WBC 140-pound champion Danny Garcia (26-0, 16 KOs) takes on slugger Lucas Matthysse (34-2, 32 KOs).
In addition, we play a brief excerpt from the media conference calls for this fight, one with Canelo and another with Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions.
No Holds Barred is also available on mobile phones and iPads through Stitcher (http://landing.stitcher.com/?vurl=noholdsbarred).
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.

UNDEFEATED WELTERWEIGHT & BROOKLYN'S OWN SADAM ALI MAKES HIS GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS DEBUT AT BARCLAYS CENTER'S CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD THEATER ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 IN THE FOURTH INSTALLMENT OF THE GOLDEN BOY LIVE! SERIES ON FOX SPORTS 1 & FOX DEPORTES
UNDEFEATED WELTERWEIGHT & BROOKLYN'S OWN
SADAM ALI MAKES HIS GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS DEBUT AT BARCLAYS CENTER'S CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD THEATER ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 IN THE FOURTH INSTALLMENT OF THE GOLDEN BOY LIVE! SERIES ON FOX SPORTS 1 & FOX DEPORTES
NEWARK'S MICHAEL PEREZ WILL TAKE ON TOUGH CHALLENGER CARLOS MOLINA IN THE EXPLOSIVE CO-FEATURE & STATEN ISLAND'S MARCUS BROWNE WILL ALSO FIGHT AS PART OF THE BARCLAYS CENTER ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
Making his Golden Boy Promotions debut in his hometown of Brooklyn, undefeated welterweight and 2008 U.S. Olympian Sadam "World Kid" Ali headlines the latest edition of Golden Boy Live! on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes (9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT) against "Smokin" Jay Krupp at Cushman & Wakefield Theater atBarclays Center on Monday, September 30.
The event will also feature two exciting stars in the 140-pound division as Newark, New Jersey's Michael "The Artist" Pereztakes on a tough challenger in Carlos Molina for the WBA Fedelatin Super Lightweight Title, in the pivotal co-main event with the winner looking for championship gold next. Opening the televised portion of the card is a light heavyweight bout between Staten Island's 2012 U.S. Olympian "Sir" Marcus Browne and St. Louis veteran Kevin "Hitman" Engel, as part of the Barclays Center Anniversary Celebration in Brooklyn.
In exciting undercard bouts, the Bronx's Emmanuel Gonzalez, Brooklyn's Claude Staten Jr. and Maryland's D'Mitrius Ballard will all risk their unbeaten records against opponents to be announced.
Ali vs. Krupp is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and sponsored by Corona and O'Reilly Auto Parts. Barclays Centerdoors open at 7:00 p.m. ET with the first bell sounding at 7:45 p.m. ET. The FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes broadcast airs live at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT.
Cushman & Wakefield Theater is an intimate theater within Barclays Center. The theater can accommodate 3,500-6,000 seats and is ideal for theatrical performances, concert artists, music festivals, boxing events and comedy acts.
"Brooklyn has become our second home, so it's only fitting that we come back to help celebrate Barclays Center's first anniversary with a stacked card," said Oscar De La Hoya president of Golden Boy Promotions. "The recently signed Sadam Ali is a perfect headliner, as he is a Brooklyn native and unbeaten former Olympian. Plus we have Michael Perez vs. Carlos Molina in an explosive matchup between two fighters hungry for a big win."
"As we head into year two, Barclays Center has established itself as the home for major boxing on the East Coast," said Brett Yormark, CEO of Barclays Center. "We are looking forward to welcoming Brooklyn's own Sadam Ali and are thrilled to team with Golden Boy Promotions for another great night of boxing at Barclays Center."
"There's no place like home," said Brooklyn fighter Sadam Ali. "I've seen some great fights at Barclays Center and I have waited for my name to be called to fight here. Now that day has come and I couldn't be more excited. This is going to be a performance and a win you won't forget."
"Sadam Ali's a great talent with a bright future, but I've been waiting years for an opportunity like this and I can't let it slide," said Jay Krupp. "I've been a fighter my whole life and that's what this is going to be on September 30, a fight."
A decorated amateur boxer who was a Junior Olympic, PAL and Under-19 National Champion, as well as a two-time New York Golden Gloves Champion, 24-year-old
Sadam "World Kid" Ali (16-0, 10 KO's) reached the pinnacle of the amateur game in 2008 when he represented the United States in the Beijing Games. In January of 2009, "World Kid", who is of Yemen descent, turned professional with a first round technical knockout over Ricky Thompson. Ali has gone on to become a popular fighter in the New York and New Jersey area putting together win after win against increasingly tougher opposition. In his most recent fight on October 27, he knocked out Ronnie Warrior Jr. in the second round.
A native of New Orleans, Louisiana now making his home in Catskill, New York,
"Smokin" Jay Krupp (17-5, 8 KO's) is a nine-year pro who gained notoriety for being trained by the man who brought Mike Tyson to prominence, Kevin Rooney. Winner of three straight fights, the 30-year-old Krupp most recently won a hard fought eight-round unanimous decision over Milton Ramos on June 21.
Newark's Michael "The Artist" Perez (18-1-2, 10 KO's) is a gritty 23-year-old fighter who will do whatever it takes to get the win. In 2010, Perez left his mark as a prospect to watch with his eight-round win over Jose Hernandez, a bout that was a definite "Fight of the Year" candidate. Since then, Perez is unbeaten in five of his last six bouts with the only loss to recently crowned World Champion Omar Figueroa Jr. and a technical draw with Lonnie Smith due to a cut from a clash of heads. Unbeaten in New York, Perez hopes to keep the streak going on September 30 in front of his local fans.
A product of the ultra-competitive Southern California boxing scene, where the battles in the gym are as intense as the ones on fight night, Carlos Molina (17-1-1, 7 KO's) has emerged as a top prospect ready to take his game to the next level. Coming off of a tough 10-round meeting with former Unified World Champion Amir Khan last December, the 27-year-old Molina is eager to get back in the ring in his comfortable weight class of 135 pounds and show off the crisp counterpunching form that has led him to 17 victories thus far in his professional career.
Unbeaten as a professional, Staten Island's "Sir" Marcus Browne (6-0, 6 KO's) has made a seamless adjustment from the amateurs (where he represented the United States in the 2012 Olympics) to the pros. Fresh from a knockout victory over Robert Hill on the first Golden Boy Live! card on August 19, the 22-year-old will take a big step up against Engel on September 30. This will be Browne's fourth time fighting in his adopted home at Barclays Center.
St. Louis' Kevin "Hitman" Engel (20-8, 16 KO's) is a hard-hitting veteran ready to push Browne to the limit. Having been in the ring with Anthony Dirrell, Thomas Williams Jr., Edwin Rodriguez and Dallas Vargas, the 33-year-old has the experience and power to make it a rough night for the highly-touted Browne in Brooklyn.

R&R Promotions and Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati to present first ever boxing event at an Ohio casino Sept. 7
R&R Promotions, in conjunction with the Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, looks to make history Sept. 7 when they bring boxing back to Cincinnati with the first ever event to be held at an Ohio casino. "Fight Night at The Shoe," to be held at The Shoe at the Horseshoe Casino, will feature 10 bouts in total with lightweight Brandon "Untouchable" Bennett in the main event. The co-main event will showcase Aaron Pryor Jr., the son of newly crowned pro boxing Hall of Famer Aaron Pryor Sr. Pryor Sr. will be in attendance at the event, along with three-time world champion Adrien Broner and special invited guest former two-time champion Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns, as he looks to support his son Ronald Hearns who is also featured on the undercard.
The top talent in the Queen City will be appearing on the undercard including heavyweights David Long and Danny Calhoun. Welterweight William "Action" Jackson (10-1-1, 5 KOs) and junior lightweight DeVonte Allen (5-1-1, 3 KOs) will also be fighting in separate bouts. Rounding out the card are undefeated prospects Mel Crossty (5-0-1, 1 KO), former U.S. Marine Jonathan Steele (1-0, 1 KO), and 2008 U.S. Olympian Raynell Williams (1-0, 1 KO).
Bennett is currently working his way towards a title opportunity. At 16-1, the 5-foot-6 southpaw could use a win on the seventh to propel him towards that next step. Pryor Jr., 17-7 (12 KOs), is coming off of a scintillating second round knockout July 5 against Mickey Scarborough, and will be looking to continue that momentum.
"I am very excited to be involved with the first boxing show ever at any casino in the State of Ohio," said Andrew Williams, CEO of R&R Promotions. "It has been a pleasure to work with VP Kevin Kline and his great team at the Horseshoe Casino to make this dream a reality."

STATEMENT FROM “FAST” EDDIE CHAMBERS
This is an open letter to the fans who support me as well to those who don’t.
First off, I want to congratulate my opponent Thibiso Mchunu of South Africa for his victory against me. I do not want to in any form or fashion diminish that win by making excuses about my performance in the ring. I did my best that I could to make the fight. To win the fight. Losing this decision woke up my spirit to compete again and I will continue to pursue my career as a Cruiserweight.
I felt fine throughout the bout. The weight loss was not a factor in my performance. I did not expect Mchunu to fight such a defensive, awkward fight. I was trying to follow instructions from my trainer, James Ali Bashir. It was very difficult to do as I am a counter puncher as well who was forced into being the aggressor. I felt that if I did not doing something to make the fight, there would have been no action during the fight. I am not that kinda guy who is going to lay around crying over spilled milk.
I want to get right back in there the way the old-school warriors used to do many years ago. I take full responsibility for this critical setback in my career. My incentive is back and hopefully I will be able to meet Mchunu down the road and there will be a far a different result.
I look forward to meeting the top Cruiserweights in the world. I think my biggest enemy is inactivity. I have fought just three times in the last three years. I want to get busy as soon as possible. I will show the world that I am a long way from being done.
Sincerely
“Fast” Eddie Chambers

GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS AND SUPER JUDAH PROMOTIONS TEAM UP TO CO-PROMOTE ZAB "SUPER" JUDAH TWO-DIVISION WORLD CHAMP HUNGRY TO GET ANOTHER TITLE
One of the premier boxers of this era, Zab "Super" Judah has won five world titles in two weight divisions, but he still has plenty of goals left, including winning another championship and continuing to give fans more exciting fights. So it is with great pleasure that Golden Boy Promotions is announcing a joint venture with Super Judah Promotions to co-promote Judah and make sure the world continues to see this boxing superstar on the sport's biggest stages.
"Super Judah Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions working together is phenomenal," said Judah. "I have been doing business with Golden Boy Promotions for a number of years, working both with them and against them and I know what it's like to be on both sides. Through those times, I see that we are a perfect fit. This joint venture will give me the experience I need as a promoter and get me the big fights I want at this point of my career."
"I am very happy to welcome Zab to the Golden Boy team," said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. "He is without question not only one of the most exciting fighters in boxing, but he also has tremendous name recognition with reaches into the general market. In his thrilling fight against Danny Garcia, Zab showed that he belongs in the absolute top level of the sport. I am looking forward to be working with Zab and his team and have him participate in the biggest fights in the junior welterweight and welterweight divisions."
Offered Bill Halkias, Vice President of Super Judah Promotions, "Zab Judah and Super Judah Promotions are looking forward to working with boxing's premier promoter in Golden Boy Promotions. We understand the importance of partnering with the best promoter in the business. It's the difference between having Zab in good fights and having Zab in great fights. Zab only wants to fight the best and Golden Boy Promotions stable of fighters is the best in boxing. "
A New York boxing icon who was a five-time world champion with titles in the junior welterweight and welterweight divisions, Brooklyn's Zab "Super" Judah (42-8, 29 KO's)showed in his recent challenge for Danny Garcia's 140-pound titles that he's still a major player at both 140 and 147 pounds. A veteran of nearly 17 years in the pro game, Judah owns wins over Micky Ward, Junior Witter, DeMarcus Corley, Cory Spinks, and Lucas Matthysse, while also battling the likes of Floyd Mayweather, Amir Khan, Kostya Tszyu, and Miguel Cotto. Winner of six of his last eight bouts, the dazzling boxer-puncher continues to provide thrills for fight fans around the world, and if his recent form is any indication, the best may be yet to come.
Zab Judah's next bout will be announced shortly.

"Curtis Stevens has had a number of impressive performances and has been very vocal in wanting to challenge the most feared middleweight. We commend him on taking this fight, a challenge many other highly regarded middleweights are unwilling to consider."
"Curtis was watching at ringside the night that Golovkin fought Matthew Macklin. Immediately afterwards he called and asked us to make the fight," said Kathy Duva, President of Main Events. "We knew we had to get it done. The two biggest punchers in the middleweight division will come head to head - don't blink! November 2nd on HBO will be a great night for all boxing fans."
Said Golovkin, "I am happy to fight in front of the boxing fans in New York City again. Madison Square Garden is a very special place for me. I will put on my best performance and defend my titles once again in this great city. "
"November 2nd is my turn to shine and that night I am going to be GREAT. The WBA belt is coming home to Brooklyn," commented Stevens about the clash.
"Fight fans everywhere need to circle November 2 on their calendars because Gennady Golovkin and Curtis Stevens are going to light it up that night in the Theater at Madison Square Garden," said Peter Nelson, director of programming, HBO Sports. "We are delighted to present this exciting middleweight title showdown from New York City. The atmosphere will be electric that night."
Golovkin has the highest knockout ratio of any active world champion (89%) with a record of 27-0-0 (24KO's). He has burst on to the international boxing scene with four sensational knockouts over the last twelve months. His bout against Stevens will be the ninth defense of his WBA title.
Fighting out of his native Brooklyn, New York, the 28-year-old Stevens, 25-3-0 (18KO's), is coming off his most impressive performance of his career with a stunning first round knockout of durable veteran, Saul Roman on AUGUST 3.
Stevens' clash with Golovkin will also be his fourth start of the year.
A mainstay of New York City boxing, the heavy-hitting Stevens first shined as an amateur, amassing the third most knockouts in New York State history.
