Mikkel Kessler may be making his debut light heavyweight appearance on Saturday, May 19 when he takes on Allan Green at Parken, Copenhagen, but the Viking Warrior weighed in just one pound heavier than when he campaigned as a super middleweight. At 169lbs, he is six pounds shy of the 175lb limit and is at a near three pound disadvantage to Green. The two combatants box for the vacant WBC silver championship title.

Badou Jack inspired by Mayweather Boxing Gym experience, wants to beat up Alexander Brand

3 May

Boxing News 24/7

On The Beak – Admin

Undefeated super middleweight Badou Jack “The Ripper” (10-0-0, 8ko) of Sweden says he’s planning on having a ball when he makes his ShoBox: The New Generation debut on Friday, May 11 against Colombia’s Alexander Brand (17-0-0, 15ko). The pair will meet at the “Shootout at Texas Station” card at the Texas Station Gambling Hall and Hotel in Las Vegas, headlined by Yudel Jhonson versus Willie “The Great” Nelson in a ten round 154lb fight.

Direct link to article.

“He seems like a wild puncher who doesn’t have the best defense,” said Jack of opponent Brand. “I’m gonna beat him up and have fun. I like guys like this that throw wide shots.”

This will be Jack’s first fight at 168 lbs, but the former Olympian says he’ll have no trouble making weight, having done his preparation at Floyd Mayweather’s gym with trainer Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, and sparring with respected contenders like Ishe Smith and J Leon Love.

“To see how Floyd trains motivates me to work even harder. I feel good I like to mix it up, box and pressure my opponent. I can do it all and I can’t wait to show everybody my skills and put on an exciting fight for the crowd and the TV viewers. I’m learning so much from my trainer Eddie Mustafa. I’m definitely in my prime right now. I just need more experience.”

Jack says that while his victory is assured, it is Brand who will decide how things unfold. “It depends. If he’s trying to win, we’ll go home early, but if he runs and just tries to survive, sometimes it can be hard to stop a guy who don’t’ want to fight. I won’t go out there looking for the knockout, but if it comes, it comes.”

Manager: Randall Bailey will KO Jones, has no fear of Mayweather and will KO Floyd and Pacquiao

2 May

Boxing News 24/7

On The Beak – Admin

Two-time world champion Randall “The Knock-out King” Bailey, arguably one of the biggest pound-for-pound single punchers in boxing, finally gets an opportunity to exorcise years of demon-like frustrations on Saturday, June 9 when he takes on unbeaten Mike Jones for the vacant IBF welterweight world championship, in the 12-round co-feature on the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley pay-per-view card, live from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

For years, Bailey (42-7-0, 36ko) has been considered too much of a risk for some of today’s brightest stars. Awesome, one-punch knockout ability will do just that to a fighter’s reputation like Bailey’s. Ask Jackson Isei Bonsu and Frankie Figueroa, two of Bailey’s 36 knockout victims who were out cold before they hit the mat after getting chin-checked by a powerful Randall right.

“Randall Bailey has been frustrated most of his career,” his longtime manager Si Stern said. “He is unquestionably the strongest puncher in the world today and, I know this may sound crazy to some, maybe in boxing history. Just look at his knockout record. He’s been shunned by a lot of top fighters out there today. Why? They know Randall can take them out with one punch. History tells us that dangerous punchers like Randall have always been avoided.

“Jones (IBF number one) didn’t want to fight Randall (IBF number two), either. The IBF pushed the issue and said that Jones had to fight Randall or he’d lose his world title shot. Once he wins the world title again – he was too young when he was world champion – he knows the money will follow and that’s what has kept Randall going.

“He has no fear of Mayweather, Pacquiao or any of the other top welterweights. Randall knows that he can knock out any of them because of his power. Mayweather doesn’t want to fight Randall, who loves stand-up fighters like Pacquiao. His past problems have been against opponents who hit and run. Guys who stand and fight have never been a problem for Randall.”

The 37-year-old Bailey, now promoted by DiBella Entertainment, made his pro debut in 1996, when Jones was sweet sixteen. Randall won his first 21 pro fights, all by knockouts, including his WBO light welterweight title-winning performance against Carlos Gonzalez in 1999, followed by two successful title defenses against Hector Lopez and Rocky Martinez. In 2002, Bailey stopped Demetrio Ceballos in the third round to become the Interim WBA light welterweight champion.

After losing his IBF 140-pound title shot in 2009 to Juan Urango, Bailey moved up in weight to welterweight, and he is unbeaten in four fights in that division with three victories, including the Bonsu knockout in their IBF title eliminator, and a no decision.

“I pleaded with him to get out of the 140-pound division,” Stern note. “He walks around at 154 pounds, so making weight is no longer a struggle for him at welterweight. I bet he’s within a few pounds of making weight for the Jones fight right now, working out in Florida with his trainer, John David Jackson. Jones has never fought anybody like Randall Bailey; he will knock out Jones.”

Five of Bailey’s seven career losses have been to world champions: Urango, Miguel Cotto, Ener Julio, and Diosbelys Hurtado. Randall has defeated three world champions: Gonzalez, Corley, and Juan Polo Perez.

Like fine wine, Randall Bailey keeps getting better with age, something Stern believes Jones will discover June 9, probably at the end of single, concussive punch.

Jones, Rigondeaux and Arce all given slots on Pacquiao – Bradley undercard

1 May

Boxing News 24/7

Petra Kirsch – Gelsenkirchen

Super bantamweight phenom Guillermo Rigondeaux returns to the ring on Saturday, June 9 in order to battle Teon Kennedy for the former’s WBA championship on the very same night that features Mike Jones and Randall Bailey scrap for the vacant IBF welterweight world title and popular Mexican brawler Jorge Arce go mano a mano with Jesus Rojas in a ten rounder at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in what appears to be a fitting war-like undercard to the main event; Manny Pacquiao‘s voluntary WBO welterweight world title defence against in-form challenger Timothy Bradley.

Announcing the card, event promoter and hall of famer Bob Arum of Top Rank Boxing stated that: “The fight card on June 9 will be a treat for all boxing fans.

“These [the undercard contests] will be great high-action fights as will be our main event with world champions Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley.”

Collectively, Rigondeaux (9-0-0, 7ko), Kennedy (17-1-2, 7ko), Jones (26-0-0, 19ko), Bailey (42-7-0, 36ko), Arce (60-6-2, 46ko) and Rojas (18-1-1, 13ko) have a combined record of 171-15-5, 128ko, which represents a 9:10 winning ratio with each fighter, on average, bragging a 75 percent chance of ending a contest by knockout.

Elsewhere on the bill are a welterweight trio of fringe prospects Wale Omotoso (22-0-0, 19ko), Mikael Zewski (14-0-0, 10ko), Andy Ruiz (1-0-0, 1ko) and super middleweight debutant Jesse Hart. All, currently, with opponents yet to be confirmed.

Koncz doesn’t believe Pacquiao v Mayweather will happen but Roach foresees trilogy

25 Oct

Boxing News 24/7

Robert Delgado – Los Angeles

Michael Koncz, the adviser to eight weight world champion Manny Pacquiao, does not believe a super fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr will ever be successfully negotiated because the latter continues to seek new excuses not to book the bout. Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, though, has spoken of the possibilities of a trilogy of fights in order to provide a decisive victor. In that scenario, Roach stated it would be Pacquiao’s last three contests before retirement.

“I don’t believe that the fight will ever be made,” Koncz said conclusively to The Ring. “Floyd always seems to find new excuses when we come to terms on a prior excuse.

“I truly wish that the fight could be made and I know that the fans want that fight to be made but Manny doesn’t need the fight. Manny has done more for boxing than anyone has, I believe. Manny’s legacy is cemented. If Floyd wants to fight, then he has to call us. We’re not chasing him. But I seriously don’t believe that the fight is ever going to happen.”

A showdown between Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38ko) and Mayweather Jr (42-0-0, 26ko) would represent what is expected to be the most lucrative fight in the history of boxing, even surpassing the pay-per-view figures reached for Floyd’s scrap with Oscar de la Hoya (2,400,000 PPV buys or $134.4 million domestic PPV revenue).

Whilst the exceptional finances could be guaranteed, the fight outcome is anything but as both boxers are arguably at the peak of their powers and, stylistically, it pits the most unrelenting attack in modern boxing against the most impenetrable of defences.

For coach Roach, in a statement that counters what Koncz said, a hat-trick of contests would not be out of the question: “Everyone wants Mayweather. Of course, we’re all getting a little tired of hearing his name because he doesn’t want to fight Manny but hopefully, that fight will happen,” said the trainer to The Philippine Star.

“That fight is so interesting, it could end up being a trilogy. Actually, it could be the last three fights for Manny, if the fight goes as we see it because they’re both very, very good fighters so it’s a fight we want. There’s nobody out there for Manny anymore.

“Manny might just end up fighting Mayweather after all,” concluded the 51-year-old.
