It shouldn’t be much of a surprise that outspoken trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. has a tremendous amount of confidence in his son Floyd heading into his Sept. 14 clash with junior middleweight champion Saul Alvarez.
On the heels of his masterful display against Robert Guerrero last month at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the 36-year old Mayweather is roughly a 2 ½ to 1 betting favorite to emerge victorious against the 22-year old “Canelo”.
The Guerrero triumph was notably special for Mayweather Sr., as it went hand in hand with his return to Floyd’s corner as his trainer. So too did the Mayweathers reconnect on an emotional level outside of the ring after some well-documented disagreements in the past.

There always seems to be something special about having a conversation with North Philadelphia-based trainer Naazim Richardson.
Regarded as somewhat of an intellectual Zen master by those close to the sport, Richardson is in Carson, California this weekend, as he will be leading underdog Demetrius Hopkins into battle against hot prospect Jermell Charlo as part of a Showtime-televised tripleheader from the Home Depot Center.
Throughout the week, Richardson has been fielding questions from the media about different aspects of the fight game.
Always interested in Naazim’s breakdown of a meaningful, upcoming fight, I asked him for his thoughts on the Floyd Mayweather-Saul Alvarez showdown on September 14 in Las Vegas.

There is no bigger fight on the boxing horizon than the September 14 super fight between WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and welterweight and junior middleweight titlist Floyd Mayweather.
Set to go down inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Mayweather’s skills, cunning, and experience will meet up with the youth, strength and power of Alvarez in a fight that looks to be an excellent matchup up on paper.
However, while most view the 22-year old Alvarez as an extremely legitimate challenge to Mayweather, veteran HBO unofficial ringside judge Harold Lederman seems to share a slightly different view.
During a recent conversation with Tha Boxing Voice, Lederman gave the edge to Oscar De La Hoya, who lost a split decision to Mayweather in May of 2007, as far as being the tougher opponent for Mayweather.

Having a first account of his actions when crude brawler Marcos Maidana first began training at Robert Garcia’s gym in Oxnard, Calif., I could tell how much of a transition the Argentinean was in for.
Maidana (33-3, 30 KO’s) was coming off of a humbling decision loss to Devon Alexander months prior and had enlisted the services of Garcia in hopes of retooling himself as he eyed another title run.
A little over a year later and Maidana is a few days away from another pivotal test, as he will be meeting up with well-seasoned Josesito Lopez (31-1, 18 KO’s) this weekend in a Showtime-televised clash in Carson.
Speaking with Garcia during Wednesday’s media day, we touched on a few storylines, including Maidana’s focus in camp, his memorable sparring sessions with his stable mate Brandon Rios, the challenge Rios faces with his November 23rd clash with Manny Pacquiao, and more.

With his May 4th victory over Robert Guerrero still fresh in everyone’s mind, Floyd Mayweather wasted little time in again shaking up the boxing world with another big announcement.
Taking to his personal Twitter account this past Wednesday, Mayweather revealed that the 45th bout of his undefeated career will be against Mexico’s Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, holder of the WBA and WBC titles at 154 pounds.
Some had expected Mayweather, who holds titles in the welterweight and junior middleweight divisions, to continue campaigning at 147 pounds in the wake of the Guerrero performance. His clash with Alvarez is looked at as one of the most dangerous of his career and that’s why everyone has been talking about this fight.
Catching up with Mayweather’s Uncle and trainer Roger inside of the Mayweather Boxing Club on Friday afternoon, there were several facets of the matchup that we discussed.
