Freddie and Manny...

By Chris Robinson

During a recent swing through the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, I caught up with trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. to follow up on a BoxingScene.com report from Ryan Burton about the trainer’s possible involvement in a new boxing reality series that will likely be launching early next year.

When asked about what his role on the new series might pertain, Mayweather Sr. was quite vague, but did hint that he may find himself competing against other well-known trainers in the sport.

The concept sounds similar to the “Contender” series that launched on NBC in 2005, and while discussing the new project, Mayweather Sr. couldn’t help but praise his own abilities as a teacher.

Then, out of nowhere, Mayweather Sr. took a big swipe at another one of today’s more revered trainers.

Former WBO female super bantamweight champion Ana Julaton is in the final stages of her training camp in Las Vegas ahead of her Nov. 1 return in Yucatan, Mexico against Perla Hernandez.

Having suffered a setback against Celina Salazar in August, Julaton (12-4-1, 2 KO’s) has regrouped and is presently learning some new techniques from former two-time world champion Roger Mayweather inside of the Mayweather Boxing Club.

Following another taxing workout, Julaton sat down with HustleBoss.com to discuss a variety of subjects, including her quick return to the ring, making the decision to move her camp to one of the world’s top gyms, the difference in training under Roger Mayweather to her past coach Freddie Roach, and more.

By Chris Robinson

On Saturday night, Oct. 19, inside of the 1STBANK Center in Denver, Colo., Russian brute Ruslan Provodnikov scored the biggest victory of his career in outlasting hometown favorite and former WBO junior welterweight titlist Mike Alvarado.

The action was nip and tuck early on, but Provodnikov weathered Alvarado’s thunder and came on in the second half of the fight before scoring two knockdowns in the eighth round.

Provodnikov dished out some more heavy leather in the 10th, as Alvarado elected to stay on his stool in between rounds rather than answer the bell for more punishment.

Calling the fight from ringside for the international feed, longtime HBO analyst Larry Merchant gave great praise to new champion.

Moments ago, three-division world champion Miguel Cotto (37-4, 30 KO’s) took to his personal Twitter account to inform his followers that he will indeed be making a return to HBO, the network that showcased his talents for several years. Cotto also anncouned that he will be back working with Top Rank, the promoter that led him to stardom, while trainer Freddie Roach will oversee his regimen.

Cotto had worked under savvy Cuban coach Pedro Diaz for the past three fights.

Cotto’s past two fights, decision losses to Floyd Mayweather and Austin Trout in 2012, had been co-promoted by Golden Boy Promotions. No official word on who Cotto will face but it seems likely that he will be squaring off with Chicago’s Carlos Molina (21-5-2, 6 KO’s).

Improving his record to 30-0 with 12 knockouts, Bradley saw scorecards of 115-112 and 114-113 twice go to his favor but the tallies hardly told the tale of the fight.
