Randall Bailey is waiting in the wings as IBF #1 for the Berto vs. Zaveck winner

Whichever one comes out victorious has to defend against the old bombardier next (I think even superseding any rematch clause that may be extant - can anyone confirm?)

Can the KO King take the title from either man? He may not seem like the worthiest contender, but he has fought two eliminators in a row (winning one by knockout, and probably would have won the second by knockout as well were it not for some...very bizarre circumstances to make it a no contest).

It's hard to imagine his vaunted power coming into play against the iron-chinned Zaveck. He'd have more of a "puncher's chance" against Berto, but would be tasked with landing it on the much younger, faster, busier, more mobile, and more explosively athletic man. He could well get knocked out himself in the process. In fact, smart money would probably be on the former light welterweight champ to get KTFO by either of the participants in tomorrow's main event. He still has that equalizer, though - and enough savvy from fifteen years (and soon to be fifty bouts) of experience to figure out a way to get it done.

Bailey is on the undercard in a tune-up against a Dominican tomato can. If it goes even half the scheduled ten round distance he needs to be very ashamed and just give up his ranking and forget about the IBF title.

 

Yoryi Estrella. The guy has been knocked out four times, and the ten people he's beaten have a combined record of 32-46. :!:

La verdad nos hará libre. :deal This guy is no credit to his nation's proud boxing tradition. Don't take offense on his behalf.

 

The poll is closing soon.

 

That's the smart choice...my heart says Zaveck late KO!

 

The dark-skinned inhabitants of Haiti are not its indigenous peoples. :nono

Berto's slave ancestors could very well be of Zimbabwean origin.

 

Russell outright is free money. :yep
