    Bailey fights Ouali today in Belgium. I don't know too much about Ouali (except that he is promoted by Floyd Mayweather) but i do know that Bailey just moved up a weight division and still possesses incredible punching power. Apparently Ouali is a mild favorite but a lot of people are thinking that Bailey will win. How do you see today's fight going? I'm going to try to find a stream somewhere online to watch it b/c i really think this could be one hell of an exciting fight. The winner gets a title shot against Zaveck. Predictions? Thoughts?

    I think randall Bailey is underrated, the guy has incredible power, I saw him fight this other guy from belgium and he knocked him out brutally, I think he will knock Ouali out as well.

    I see this as a 50/50 fight, and can only hope I picked the right guy in this.
    I have Ouali by TKO, just because of the Ali part is his name. :D

    Ouali is a good strong fighter. I know he was knocked down in his last fight, but his chin is more than just decent. I say he's going to tko Bailey, unfortunately who has had a few good wins since losing to Urango.

    Every fight with Bailey is worth watching - he might have the most powerful right-hand, p4p, in the sport.

    I'm going with Ouali on points though, I think he's got a little too much for this version of Bailey.

    Isnt Ouali the guy who fought in the opener of PBF-SSM? If so then i have seen a few of his fights and his chin seems to be kind of shaky along with a so so defense.

    This might be a good fight to put some money on Bailey.

    Yeah he got knocked down by a straight right like ten seconds in by the Argentine who doesn't hit near as hard as Bailey. I'm sensing a Bailey knockout here.

    I'm not so sure about that. Every time I've seen Ouali in with someone who packs a punch (Cintron, Aydin, Saldivia) he's been in trouble. Lucky for him though, Bailey doesn't have the best whiskers himself (nor can he take body punches).

    I think this will be an exciting but short match. I can see either guy finishing the job early considering their punching power, suspect chins, and defensive flaws.

    Not that I know of. I suspect it will wind up being syndicated though. Usually DiBella's untelevised cards end up being shown on SNY a week or two later.

    I wonder why this fight is in Belgium, where neither guy has a fan following? I have to assume that Jackson Bonsu's Belgian promoter has an option on Bailey or something, but even if that's the case, it seems it would make much more sense to have the fight somewhere in the US.

    Ouali isn't bad. A little reckless sometimes, not a spectacular chin (he was knocked out cold by Kermit Cintron, and he was knocked down against Saldivia on the Mayweather-Mosley undercard before coming back to knock out Saldivia later in the round), exciting volume puncher on offense, quick hands. He fought about even with Selcuk Aydin not long ago, and I suspect he'll land a lot more shots than Bailey. Still, Bailey has that dynamite right hand that can change any fight at a moment's notice.
