Randall Bailey vs. Mike Jones will be waged with 8 0z gloves
Mike Jones Explains 8 Oz. Glove Choice For Bailey Fight - Boxing News
This gives Bailey a slightly better chance I think, but it also leaves him vulnerable to being KO'd himself.
Nonetheless I have been a fan of Bailey for years and I'm backing him in this one.
One more KO win for the "KO King" and one more world title ! :cool:

Seems like Randall's been around forever. I was able to watch him in person when he fought Diosbelys Hurtado in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the undercard of the Trinidad-Cherifi fight, back in 2002.

Love this fight really. Ultimate crossroads between two that are a lil bit similar. Randall's one punch power remains but unfortunately I think his legs went the new born giraffe route years ago. Jones shows improved discipline but will he jump in if he shakes Bailey and chance running into a brick. Don't blink!
Re: Randall Bailey vs. Mike Jones will be waged with 8 0z gloves
ask for 10 ounce gloves and lessen Bailey's chances. Risky move by Jones.

Lets hope he runs into one that puts him away.
Bailey's legs def looked bad against Juan Urango. IF he had caught Urango on the chin instead of the cheek then I think he would have won that fight.
Great fight that was.

This could be the fight of the night, want Jones to win but Bailey sounded cool on Box Nation so would not mind him winning either.
Re: Randall Bailey vs. Mike Jones will be waged with 8 0z gloves
I'm rootin for Bailey in this fight. We've had him on the radio show plenty and he's a real humble nice guy. Exchanged a bunch of messages with him and he's a top fella who just wants another shot. If that weird shit hadn't have gone down against Ouali when he practically threw him over the ropes he'd have not had to wait this long for a big fight again. I think Jones will outbox him but I'll have my fingers crossed for one big right hand straight down the pipe just when Jones thinks he got it.
WarBailey............
Re: Randall Bailey vs. Mike Jones will be waged with 8 0z gloves
I watched a couple more of Bailey's fights recently and he has a damn good left hook too. He KO'd Gonzalez for his 140 lb WBO title with the hook and he dropped then finished Jackson Bonsai tree with a left hook as well.
I'm most excited for this fight as I've been a fan of Bailey since I saw him against Hurtado a decade ago.
Mike Jones looked damn good in his rematch against Soto Karass but I'm hoping his chin is suspect.

No doubt, Urango went down like someone smacked him with a stretch Limo. Jones really has to mindful not to go crazy like he did in Soto Karass 1 and leave himself in his chest too long
Someones getting KTF OUT
Re: Randall Bailey vs. Mike Jones will be waged with 8 0z gloves
really stupid move by jones.
Re: Randall Bailey vs. Mike Jones will be waged with 8 0z gloves
Bailey did it !!!
I could not be happier !
Been lookin forward to this fight for months as Bailey is one of my favorites.
One more big payday for the KO king baby !
Lets see Bailey vs. Judah. That could be fun.
Re: Randall Bailey vs. Mike Jones will be waged with 8 0z gloves
let's not forget how terrible of a fight this was before the knockout.
Jones was winning it easily before Bailey caught him with that uppercut. So we shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking Bailey is going to hold that title for very long. If anything he'll be the champ everyone goes after.

It was a lot like the Shannon Briggs vs. Sergei Lyacovich bout.
And thats fine, I don't expect Bailey to beat Hopkins record for defending his belt, but I do expect him and his family to receive one more big payday for him to hopefully retire on.
He's a prize fighter after all.

hopefully he does do that, and hopefully whomever he loses to that it isn't a bad loss.
