Join me every Thursday night at 10 PM ET for the BATB News and Comment show on www.youcastr.com! Bailey Upsets Robles in Portsmouth, VA! In The Ring magazine, columnist Jim Bagg gives an award called a Stingray, where he honors a veteran boxer who wins a bout over a rising prospect. Don't be surprised if Portsmouth, VA cruiserweight William "The Storm" Bailey gets the Stingray in a future Ring magazine. Last night, in front of his home crowd at the Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel in Portsmouth, VA, Bailey scored an eight-round unanimous decision over "El Guero" Juan Carlos Robles of Waynesboro, VA. Power shots apparently proved to be the difference. Bailey, who told me that he would retire after beating Derek Amos in Fisherville, VA in April of 2007, has won two of his last four since that bout. Bailey's record is now 9-14-2, five KO's. Robles, who was trying to bounce back after his TKO loss to contender Rob Calloway last March, is now 9-2, four KO's. In the co-feature, Norfolk, VA's Bobby Jordan, Jr. won an eight-round unanimous decision over Takoma Park, MD's Willis "The Prophet" Lockett. Jordan dropped Lockett en route to the victory. Jordan remains undefeated at 5-0-1, two KO's while Lockett is now 10-6-4, four KO's. Also on the card, Montgomery, AL middleweight John "No Mercy" Mackey stopped DC's Larry "The Gladiator" Brothers at the end of the fourth round when Brothers could not come out for the fifth. This was the second time Mackey has defeated the veteran Brothers. Mackey is now 10-1, three KO's. Brothers falls to 7-31-3, five KO's. Norfolk, VA lightweight Stephan Alexander scored a second-round TKO over Philadelphia's Gustavo Dailey. Alexander is now 3-0, three KO's while Dailey is 2-3. In a female bout, Brooklyn, NY heavyweight Tanzee Daniels scored her second straight win over Wilson, NC's Tiffany Woodard. This time, it was a four-round unanimous decision. Daniels is 2-0 while Woodard is 1-2. Miguel Gonzalez of Virginia won by second-round TKO over David Derby.
