Richard Schaefer: How is training camp going, Roger?
Roger Mayweather: The training camp is always the same. Isn't anything different about training camp.
Richard Schaefer:Is he going to be ready?
Roger Mayweather: You don't believe he will be? I mean everyone is saying he won't be ready, but he can beat the best fighters out there so what - it's no different that that. He is going to do what he going to do to Marquez. It's the same thing. More...

Last night at Plaza de Toros in Tijuana, Mexico, WBO Super Flyweight Champion Fernando Montiel, 39-2-1 (29), made the successful jump to bantamweight, capturing the interim WBO crown at 118 pounds by knocking out Argentina's Diego Oscar Silva, 24-2-3 (12), in the third round.
Montiel was in control the whole way, canvassing Silva in the second and at the start of the third before finishing the job at 2:24 of the third round.
In a WBC Super Feather title clash, reigning champion Humberto Soto, 47-7-2 (30), was dominant against challenger Antonio Davis, 26-5 (13), dropping the American in the first and twice in the fourth before forcing the bout to be stopped at 2:38 of the fourth frame when Davis could no longer defend himself.

There's a good fight card tonight at Plaza De Toros right across the US/Mexico border in Tijuana as the WBO Bantam and WBC Super Feather belts will be up for grabs.
In the main event, longtime WBO Super Flyweight Champ Fernando Montiel, 38-2-1 (28), will try again to make the move up to bantam and contend for the WBO crown at 118 pounds.
The 30 year old Los Mochis man was turned back in his effort to do the same three years ago when defeated on a split decision by Jhonny Gonzalez.
This time, Montiel will tangle with WBO Latino, South American and Argentine Bantam titlist Diego Oscar Silva, 24-1-3 (12), of Buenos Aires. More...

WBO Welterweight Champion Paul Williams stepped up to light middle and caged the vacant WBO belt by stopping former three time 154 pound world titlist Verno Phillips in the eighth round at Citizens Bank Arena in Ontario, CA in the highest profile bout in America this weekend.
Williams overcame a bad cut from a headclash early on and used his massive height and reach advantage to good effect, keeping the much older Phillips at bay with hard shots to the body and head.
It was the constant body shots which seemed to take their toll on the former champion as he began to slow down later in the bout but Phillips also didn't have the power to trouble his far taller opponent despite not having much difficulty in hitting Williams when he did throw punches.
By the eighth round, Phillips was getting hurt and the bout was called to a halt before the ninth frame could begin to keep the 39 year old from further damage.
Williams wins the WBO Light Middle title, improving to 36-1 (27), while Phillips drops to 42-11-1 (21) after a brave performance in what could be the last big fight of his long career. More...

After taking almost the entire month of August off, the sport of boxing got back into full swing this weekend and there some decent shows to report upon.
Former WBO Heavyweight Champion Lamon Brewster returned to the ring for the first time in more than a year as the 35 year old slugger knocked out New York based veteran Danny Batchedler in the fifth round at The Gardens in Cincinnati, OH last night to take the NABA title.
Brewster, 34-4 (30), proved just too big and quick for Batchelder and wins for the first time in three years after dropping consecutive losses to Serguei Lyakhovich and Wladimir Klitschko in world title bouts.
31 year old Batchelder, who has come up in weight during his career from super middle, drops to 25-6-1 (12), losing his third bout in a row.
Also on Saturday, middleweight Anthony Greenidge, 12-1-1 (5), won a hard fought eight rounder over Louis Turner by majority decision at the Holiday Inn Select in Atlanta, GA.
Lightweight Tyrese Hendrix, 14-0-1 (6), posted a six round unanimous decision over veteran Luis Bolano, 41-11 (31), on the undercard.
There was action on Friday as well, with former welterweight contender Antonio Diaz, 44-5-1 (29), continuing his comeback with an eighth round points win against Juan Pablo Montes de Oca, 9-15-2, at Omega Products International in Corona, CA. More...

Leading up to tonight's big showdown between Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito, there were a few good cards across the states last night and we start this report with the amazing comeback of Antonio Diaz, 43-5-1 (29), who came off a three year hiatus to overcome Felix Flores, 22-7 (16), by majority decision to annex the vacant WBO Latino Light Middleweight title at the Civic Centre in Kissimmee, Florida.
33 year old Diaz challenged unsuccessfully for two world titles at welterweight, losing to Shane Mosley and Margarito, but held wins over Corey Spinks, Mickey Ward, Emmanuel Augustus, Omar Weis and Ivan Robinson among others by the time of his most recent bout, a fifth round TKO over welterweight Roberto Ortega in August, 2005.
32 year old Flores, who also bid twice unsuccessfully for world titles, losing to DeMarcus Corley and Sharmba Mitchell, was coming off consecutive competitive losses to contenders Joshua Clottey and Cosme Rivera.
Against Flores last night, Californian Diaz gritted out a tough win over his Puerto Rican opponent, perhaps being the fresher man after such a long time out of the ring, and finds himself with exciting new career possibilities in the light middleweight division.
City Center in Saratoga Springs, New York was the site of middleweight prospect James McGirt, Jr, 19-1 (9), winning the biggest fight of his career, a ten round decision over contender Raymond Joval, 37-5 (16).
Those in attendance at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas witnessed Jesus Soto Karass, 21-3-3 (15), winning the vacant NABF Welterweight crown by stopping Chicago hard man David Estrada, 22-5 (13), in the eighth frame. More...
