Bailey quits after round 7

Was not impressed with horn, got dropped, was on queer street several times, i know bailey has power but that's literally all he's got and he's way past it, horn wont go much further
Horn is a scrapper. He'll struggle against the big hitters in a great division, but he's definitely game:

Horn calls out Jessie Vargas after stopping Bailey
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing

“He was a tough guy,” said IBF #5, WBO #6, WBA #11 welterweight Jeff “The Hornet” Horn (14-0, 9 KOs) after impressively stopping former world champion Randall Bailey (46-9, 39 KOs) on Wednesday night at the Convention and Exhibition Centre, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. “I hit him with some good shots and he kept taking them. He got me at the start. I should of been more careful. I did get clipped and he can punch. I wake up when I get hit. I should of hit myself in the dressing room before I come out.

“It is amazing having pretty much everyone I know here tonight and everyone watching on Foxtel is pretty amazing. Great to have everyone behind me for this fight. I hope my next fight is Jesse Vargas next – he is the world titleholder and the number one position is vacant and if he wants to take me on I’m happy to do it.

“Thank you to Duco Events for putting on such a great show. Thanks to my trainer Glen Rushton and my brother Ben.”


Gloved up teacher Jeff Horn busy doing his homework on the men between him and a world title bout
GRANTLEE KIEZA The Courier-Mail
A WEEK after scoring one of the biggest ever boxing wins seen in Brisbane, schoolteacher Jeff Horn is doing his homework on four leading opponents who could guarantee him a world title fight.
Horn is hoping to face World Boxing Organisation welterweight champ Jessie Vargas early in 2017 and has a shortlist of opponents for his next fight in Brisbane in August which he hopes will put him into the box seat for the world title shot.
His matchmaker Stuart Duncan and promoter Dean Lonergan are looking at a list of four potential opponents for the undefeated Horn’s next start at the Brisbane Convention Centre.
They are Germany’s No. 1 welterweight Rico Muller (19 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw; ranked No. 10 in the International Boxing Federation), Commonwealth champion Bradley Skeete from London (23 wins, 1 loss; No. 7 in the WBO), South African veteran Ali Funeka (38 wins, 5 losses, 3 draws, No. 10 in the WBO) and Argentina’s Cristian Nestor Romero (16 wins, 7 losses, 1 draw; No. 15 WBO).
Horn this week leaves for his first American holiday with wife Jo and is planning to take in all the sights from the White House to the Grand Canyon over the next six weeks.
While he’s away his trainer Glenn Rushton will be fighting to further Horn’s world ranking at the negotiating table.
The 28-year-old London Olympian went into his bout with American former world champ Randall Bailey last week ranked No. 5 contender in the WBO behind Vargas, a lanky 26-year-old from California.
But with the victory Horn is unofficially now the leading contender for Vargas’s title.
No. 1 ranked Manny Pacquiao announced after beating No. 2 ranked Tim Bradley in Las Vegas on April 9 that he was retiring from the sport. Bradley, likewise, will be cooling his heels for some time after a multimillion-dollar payday.
Jeff Horn stunned the boxing world with a huge win over Randall Bailey of the USA.

Horn now sees a clear path to a title bout.
No. 1 ranked Manny Pacquiao announced after beating No. 2 ranked Tim Bradley in Las Vegas on April 9 that he was retiring from the sport. Bradley, likewise, will be cooling his heels for some time after a multimillion-dollar payday.
The No. 3 ranked WBO contender, Shawn Porter, is fighting World Boxing Association champ Keith Thurman on June 25. No. 4 ranked Errol Spence Jr is expected to fight IBF world champ Kell Brook in his next start which leaves Horn as the next available WBO challenger following his seventh-round stoppage of Bailey.
But boxing is a sport conducted over contracts as much as it is inside the ropes.
Horn is trying to position himself as not only the No. 1 contender for the title but also “the mandatory’’ contender, meaning that Vargas must fight him and that each boxer’s promoter gets bidding rights to host the event.
The mandatory position allowed Brisbane heavyweight Alex Leapai to earn $1.5 million — much more than most contenders — in his title shot against Wladimir Klitschko in 2014 because rival promoters were bidding to stage the event.
“I’m ready to fight Jessie Vargas right now,’’ Horn said.
“I’ve always been willing to take big risks but if I have to wait a while and fight to the top spot I’ll do that too.
“I showed against Bailey that I can take out a guy with world-class power. He’s regarded as the best puncher in the welterweight division and I wore him down so I’m confident I can beat Jessie Vargas too and bring a world title back to Brisbane.’’
I'd like Kell Brook to fight Jessie Vargas.

I've watched an interview with Eddie Hearn saying he's going to try make that next for Brook in the UK as a unification 
Did you see berridge is fighting Joseph kwadjo on the Parker bill, Nik the Greek seems to think he's got him in July too (kwadjo that is).
Good fight for Berridge, should win comfortably but will go rounds

Errol Spence is now fighting IBF #7 Bundu in an IBF final eliminator after IBF #2 Ponomarev pulled out injured.

This article suggests Bundu was the next available contender, which means IBF #4 Jeff Horn and Duco must have turned down the fight???
If Horn turned down that fight, he's a smart man! He's not ready for Spence. Not sure anyone is in that division. He's tough. And powerful.
