| Randall Bailey With Crushing KO of Mike Jones in Eleven
|
|
By Rick Reeno MGM Grand, Las Vegas - In a fight for the vacant IBF welterweight championship, Randall Bailey (43-7-1, 37KOs) knocked out previously undefeated Mike Jones (26-1, 19KOs) in the eleventh round to capture the title. They fought at a very slow and tactical manner. Neither boxer took chances in the first round rounds of the fight. They traded punches in spurts during the fifth. Jones seemed to shake Randall up in the ninth, but he never followed up with any combinations. For most of the fight, Jones used the strategy of jumping in, throwing quick punches and then quickly moving out of range to avoid Bailey's hard counter. At the end of the tenth, Bailey's one punch power showed up when he landed a hard right hand to drop Jones for the first time in his career. In the eleventh round, Bailey landed an explosive right uppercut that knocked Jones silly and he went down very hard. Jones struggled bad to make it up and referee Tony Weeks waved it off.

I think you have to give Bailey his just due here. The guy has had some near wins in championship fights in the past and this time he did it! And now he has the confidence to believe that he can do it again, this is awesome! I think Mike Jones felt his power early and then he became more tentativ... |

Brutal, the only 2 punches that Bailey landed that mattered ended with Jones on the floor. |
