Just want to pay tribute to these two guys as I'm sure their performances will be lost to the shitstorm that will follow in the next couple of days.

Rigondeaux was simply spectacular, was not one part of his game tonight that was lacking and surely with a performance like that will help to grow the clamour for a Donaire matchup. At his age it should be only the very best he is facing now.

And Bailey....after a lacklustre a poor performance in the first 10 rounds he finally got through to Jones with his great power and produced one of the KO of the year. Absolutely delighted for him.

Well done to these 2 lads on what ended up being a terrible night for boxing. :clap:

Rigondeaux was class, just sits pretty much in pocket with ease and then.........''Bang on the Chen'' :yep

 

[Nyanners :sad5]

Rigo looked fierce, absolutely fierce. Looked leagues above his opponent, it was terrifying.

Congrats to Randall Bailey for pulling it out the hat too, always love an underdog.

Congrats to everyone tonight, really.

 

[Flea Man]

I was rooting for Bailey. One of the true freakish punchers of this era.

Kennedy is not all that. Rigo needs a big step up IMO.

 

[BoxingAnalyst]

Good performance from Rig, Kennedy wasn't up to much.

So pleased for Bailey, hopefully Hearn gets Randall over here to fight Kell.

 

[Flea Man]

Bailey might well spark Brook.

Bailey might well spark Brook.

Yes, we need to see Brook hit by a puncher, but if Bailey hits him clean, Kell probably won't get up.

Bailey might well spark Brook.

Yep. The way Brook leaves his chin out at times is going to provide him with real opportunities.

 

[MagicMan]

Bailey might well spark Brook.

I'm not quite sure if he has it in him any more despite the win. Obviously he does power-wise as we saw last night but through the first 9/10 rounds he was really struggling to pull the trigger despite it seeming like he had the opportunity to do so. I rate Brook a level above Jones too which might make it more difficult for him but then again there are questions over Kell's chin so it'd definitely be an interesting fight.

Great win for Randall & I'm chuffed for him

I know the opposition wasn't all that, but strictly speaking on THAT performance, he looked impossible to outbox, it was amazing.

So happy for Bailey, look how much it meant to him. It was always possible because he posesses the old equalizer, but I didn't expect it. Mike Jones is poor though.
