Randall Bailey's Inactivity Sets a CompuBox Record
NEW YORK — Randall Bailey’s inactivity set a CompuBox record for futility Saturday night. According to the punch-counting company, the 45 overall punches Bailey landed during his unfathomably boring fight against Devon Alexander set its record for fewest connections in a 12-round fight. Bailey’s poor performance cost the 38-year-old veteran his IBF welterweight title, as Devon Alexander defeated him by unanimous decision at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. All three judges — Don Ackerman (116-110), Tony Paolillo (115-111) and Waleska Roldan (117-109) — scored St. Louis’ Alexander (24-1, 13 KOs) the clear winner in the first of four bouts broadcast by Showtime. CompuBox credited Alexander with landing 120 of 534 overall punches, 75 more than Bailey (45 of 198).

Four for Fighting: The Pre-Showtime Report Card
All signs point to go, even if four title fights are now three with Pablo Cesar Cano blowing a title opportunity on the scales. That, of course, is not the real story.

Randall Bailey – Clear and Always Present Danger
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.”
