Comments Thread For: Randall Bailey – Clear and Always Present Danger

BIGPOPPAPUMP

By Thomas Gerbasi - Anyone who has ever talked to IBF welterweight champion Randall Bailey over the years will probably come up with the same conclusion: nice guy, but he’s no Bernard Hopkins. Then again, when was the last time you saw “The Executioner” lay out an opponent with a single punch and have the potential to do so in every fight?

So on an October 20 card jam-packed with compelling matchups that will make you scoff at anyone who says that the sweet science is dead, Bailey’s title defense against Devon Alexander at the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York is one of the most interesting. It’s the classic boxer vs. puncher matchup, but with a twist, as Bailey might as well be described as an ultra-puncher, because when he lands with his right hand, people react in funny ways.

Not ha-ha funny, but marionette getting its strings cut funny. And the way he described it on a media teleconference, it’s something he considers a gift that keeps on giving.

“I think the power I was born with,” said the native of Opa-Locka, Florida. “I've been throwing my right hand since I was like 15, 16 years old, and I mean diligently practicing on it since then. It's like whenever I felt it, you're going to get hit with it. I don't care what you do; you're going to get hit with it. It's just what you're going to do after you get hit with it.”

This one has the makings of a classic. I really hope it lives up to it.

if bailey wins this with a knock out, then he should fight pacquiao next to once and for all know who the hardest puncher is within the ww diviion

hope it doesnt turn out like a snoozer.i like bailey but cunningham was right, he only got one hand. alexander should be better than mike jones so i dont expect him to get laid out like that.

It's going to be a showcase night for Alexander I bet. Bailey just isn't of the same class, good guy and he has power no doubt, but not just not on the same level. Alexander is indeed world class, despite his poor showing against Bradley. He also has a chin, he's faced some rough competition and some boys that can really crack. Say what you want about the guy but he fights tough fights, look at his last 7-8 opponents you would be hard pressed to find someone who takes fights like he does that isn't named Carl Froch.

I wish Bailey luck, I love me an underdog comeback story, it just isn't in the cards for him. Alexander is going to destroy Bailey, probably KO him.
