Earlier today in Las Vegas, Nevada, a press conference was held focusing on the June 9th Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley undercard, set to go down at the MGM Grand.
In a junior featherweight title attraction, Jorge Arce faces off with Puerto Rico?s Jesus Rojas. If successful, the wildly popular Arce could be in line for a crack at WBO champion Nonito Donaire later in the year.
Another player in the 122 pound division, WBA champion Guillermo Rigondeaux, defends his belt against Philadelphia?s Teon Kennedy. Rigondeaux has been clamoring for the likes of Donaire, Arce, and Abner Mares, but will have to pursue those fights at a later time while focusing on simply winning.
The vacant IBF welterweight belt will be on the line when Philadelphia?s Mike Jones meets up with former champion Randall Baily. Jones is a tall boxer-puncher who seems to be learning fight by fight while Baily is a devastating puncher who once held the WBO junior welterweight bauble.
