Berto vs Bailey Looking Likely.

[Perfect Plex]

Sources are stating that the parties for newly crowned IBF Welterweight champion Andre Berto (28-1, 22 KOs) and mandatory challenger and former world champion Randall Bailey (42-7, 36 KOs) have reached an agreement for both to meet, likely in early 2012. Its being said the only hold up now is for HBO to approve the official date

berto's back! (and when i say back i mean back to fighting stiffs for huge paydays on hbo)

yeah? not really surprising, since the berto-zaveck winner was bound to fight him contractually.
i've been wondering what's the purpose of the mike jones-sebastian lujan IBF ww eliminator on the cotto/margarito undercard...... does it mean they are planing to get mike jones in with berto soon?

yeah i know, but this fight is not dibella's/al-haymon's fault. it's just the fact that bailey was the IBF mandatory for a while (over a year). even if there is like 50 spectators it's going to happen. sucks, but true.

Hmmmmm to be honest I am intrigued by this matchup. Just because Bailey can CRACK!!!!

Someone gonna get KTFO, well they should at least.

Berto is an average fighter, defense is whach, chin is meh...And, he gets tagged with right hands repeatedly.

If Bailey can do one thing, is dent your chin with his right hand. But, that's all he can do. And, Bailey chin is also not the best out there.
