Comments Thread For: Randall Bailey Goes Bare Knuckle, Added To Malignaggi-Lobov

[Calibaloc]

I'm seriously concerned for the safety of the dude Bailey is fighting. One of the hardest hitters I've ever seen

[Rudyo]

All you people saying he is going to kill someone need to stop Bareknuckle don't increase your power, sure it makes it more brutal cause you cut up, but there is ample evidence to show that it actually decreases your power because you have no protection for your knuckle and can break it easily, which is why you hear all the stories of fights going for like 70-80 rounds in the days of Jem Mace and stuff. Bailey might get a KO, hell even a brutal one shot KO but stop with the drama "ZOMG HE'S GOING TO KILL SOMEONE!"

I feel bad for his opponent. Only thing going against bailey is inactivity and his age

Those are two pretty big things...

You know it's funny. Not a single negative said about this man in this whole thread, yet he gets discredited as a solid Jeff Horn victory because of age.

Hypocrites everywhere.

I'm not tracking at all. Jeff Horn? Hypocrites? Somebody got discredited? Did you respond to the correct post? Are you in the right thread?

No, I'm in the right thread.

Randall Bailey was considered Jeff Horn's top win prior to beating Manny Pacquiao UNANIMOUSLY at the Battle of Brisbane. Prior to that fight, NSB proceeded to discredit the fact that Bailey was considered one of the hardest punchers in the sport, simply because of his age.

When Manny took the loss, NSB reacted by saying that Horn beat "a washed up Manny", "an old Randall Bailey", "nobody knows who Randall Bailey is", etc.

Basically, Randall Bailey is getting credit here in this thread that he didn't get two years ago, simply because it was Jeff Horn that sent him into retirement as a boxer.

Okay, but what does any of that have to do with my post? I am not NSB. I know who Randall Bailey is. I know about his career. Randall Bailey is certainly known as a big hitter despite his many losses, but is it really disparaging him to point out that age and inactivity can really change a guy? No.

You were the only person in the thread to even imply that age should matter for him.

So, why is that disrespectful? The dude is 44 years old which extremely old for any weight class, but especially the lighter weights. If you think age and activity aren't big factors in decreased performance then I don't know what to say to you.

You misunderstand. I was using your post as an example.

You're the only one here consistent in your response. Where others will say one thing ("he's too old") when it comes to one opponent and another thing ("he's a killer") when it comes to other fighters.

I like consistency; if he's too old when he fights Fighter A, he's too old when he fights Fighter B. If he's a killer when he fights Fighter A at 40+, he's a killer when he fights Fighter B at 40+.
