\"\"<\/a>This Saturday night Andre Berto attempts to regain a piece of the welterweight crown when he takes on reigning IBF Welterweight Champion, Jan Zaveck, at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, MS. Of all the people in attendance and even more watching at home, there will be no one observing the action more closely then two-time world champion, Randall Bailey. <\/p>\n

Bailey, who is considered by many to be one of the hardest punchers in all of boxing, as witnessed by his 37 stoppages in 41 victories, will be seeing action on the undercard against Florida\u2019s Yoryi Estrella. Bailey has been the mandatory to Zaveck for sometime now and could have taken the fight with Zaveck, but instead he chose to step aside and allow the fight between Zaveck and Berto to take place first. Whoever pulls out the victory Saturday night, Bailey will be next in line for a crack at the title.
\n\u201cThis fight would not have happened if Randall Bailey didn\u2019t allow it to happen,\u201d stated Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment, promoter of Saturday night\u2019s HBO show, as well as the promoter for Berto and Bailey. \u201cHe was the legitimate mandatory. The reason Bailey let it happen was because he\u2019s a smart guy, he\u2019s been around the fight game a long time, and he understands that he\u2019s got to feed his family. He understands that this fight was saleable to HBO because of all of Berto\u2019s TV exposure, where his fight against Zaveck would have taken place in Europe and no one would have seen it. Bailey will make a lot more money as a result of that decision in his next fight. He did the right thing because these are the two best available welterweights in the world and because it is a fight that HBO is covering. That\u2019s why Bailey stepped aside and that\u2019s why the fight is happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be watching the fight very closely Saturday,\u201d stated Bailey. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter to me who wins because I will be ready for either of them in the next fight. I wish them both luck on Saturday night, because regardless of who wins the belt, they won\u2019t own it for much longer.\u201d<\/p>\n
