Devon Alexander will apparently get a shot at his third title belt before his hometown fans in St. Louis opposite IBF welterweight titleholder Randall Bailey on Sept. 8.

Promoter Lou DiBella: "I don't care who you are, if Randall Bailey hits you on the button, you're going to be knocked out."

Hard-hitting IBF welterweight titleholder Randall Bailey calls Devon Alexander "a full-blown midget," adding Tim Bradley "doesn't want a part of fighting me -- not even in his wildest dreams."

Randall Bailey stopped previously unbeaten Mike Jones in the 11th round to win the IBF welterweight title at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Tim Bradley looks ripped and amped, said he's "ready to prove everybody wrong" on Saturday night against Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Freddie Roach, Alex Ariza and Miguel Diaz have had a rocky relationship in the past, and one of the challenges of this Saturday night will be for the trio to set aside their differences and work together in Manny Pacquiao's corner.

Bob Arum on Mike Jones: "Depending on how Mike does in this fight with Randall Bailey, you know, he would be in the future mix for Manny Pacquiao or for Tim Bradley."

Mike Jones is in line to face Randall Bailey for the IBF's vacant welterweight belt.

With his victory over Lujan, Mike Jones assumed the IBF's top rating and could meet Randall Bailey for the vacant welterweight belt next.

Pawel Wolak: "The swelling was bad. My depth perception was off...having only one eye. But there's no quit in me. There is no stopping me."
