Welterweights: Mike Jones (26-0, 19 KOs) vs. Randall Bailey (41-7, 36 KOs), 12 rounds, for a vacant title

I think this fight may be sneaky interesting. Bradley is undefeated. Bradley is younger. Bradley is quick. Pacquiao looked like he lost his last fight against Marquez and sounds more concerned about advancing his political and entertainment career than fighting anymore. But then again, that may just be buying into the Arum circus. Bradley also ducked Amir Khan and his last stoppage against completely over the hill Joel Casamayor was his first KO of any kind in 10 fights since 2007. Expect yet another decision in a sport littered with them regardless of who wins.
And yes in case you were wondering, Bob Arum is still a piece of shit.
All this and more, live on HBO PPV 9:00 EST Saturday night.
