MANILA, Philippines – Randall Bailey is dubbed as the “Knockout King” for a reason.

Bailey uncorked a vicious right uppercut that laid erstwhile unbeaten Mike Jones flat on his back at the 2:52 mark of round 11 to capture the IBF welterweight title.

The 37-year-old Bailey also knocked down Jones in the 10th round with a solid right straight.
