Bailey destroys Figueroa with KO of the Year candidate right hand

by Scott Christ on Apr 4, 2009 6:15 AM EDT in Boxing Results and Post-Fight Analysis

Watch it, thrill to it, be in awe of it. One perfectly executed right hand following -- as Teddy Atlas calls it -- a blinding left-hand purpose jab and Frankie Figueora is OUT at the hands of Randall Bailey. B-r-oodle.

I know it's been a little slow here, but I wanted to formally welcome Brickhaus to the BLH staff. Y'all know him. We're back in the swing of things later tonight with the Lightweight Lightning PPV starting at 9pm. Join us tonight!

If someone ever went, “What’s ‘on the button’ mean?” this is what I’d show them.

Me and Ice missed FNF altogether

Dammit, this always happens to me.

Hoooooooo doggy. I think this is also a great example of “speed is power.” That shot was greased lightening.

His legs were gone after that right hand… thankfully he recovered and seemed to be in good shape.

Wow

Not often you see a knockout like that. I haven’t seen a punch that devastating since the left hook that ended the ’07 Darnell Wilson – Emmanuel Nwodo fight.
