Mike Jones Confident of Winning World Title on June 9 in Las Vegas MIKE JONES CONFIDENT OF WINNING WORLD TITLE ON JUNE 9 IN LAS VEGAS Philadelphia, PA--With only a couple of weeks before his first world- title opportunity, undefeated welterweight Mike Jones, of Philadelphia, has the look and mindset of a champion as he prepares to meet the hard-hitting former champion Randall Bailey, of Miami, FL, in one of the co-feature fights on the June 9 Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley card at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. “It is a lifelong dream to fight for the title,” said Jones (right), the IBF No. 1 rated welterweight. “All I know is I’m 100% confident in myself and my abilities. I come to win and I will not lose.” Jones’ confident demeanor extends to his attitude about expectations as well. “I never get too high or too low,” stated Jones, 29, whose record is 26- 0, 19 K0s. “I never need acceptance from anybody, whether I score a knockout or get a decision win. I stay true to myself. I believe in God and I believe in myself. That’s what matters to me.” But will Jones’ confidence and attitude be enough to stop Bailey, who is well-known for his punching power? Bailey has scored 36 knockouts en route to a 42-7 record as a pro. “He’s a banger, definitely likes to bang, but I can do more than just slug,” said Jones, who is co-promoted by Top Rank, Inc., and Peltz Boxing Promotions, Inc. “I’ll do whatever it takes to win, even if I have to pound him out, but I want to be moving to set everything up. I don’t know if he can take my power. My plan is not to give him anything and not to give him any advantage.” Jones, along with his trainer Vaughn Jackson, came up with successful game plans for the other recent sluggers Jones has faced, which helped him score two wins over Jesus Soto-Karass in 2010 and 2011, and over Sebastian Lujan in his most recent fight on Dec. 3. They are, likewise, coming up with a plan for Bailey. “It’s like game-planning for a tough defense in basketball,” Jones said. “You have to take Bailey’s best attribute – his banging – away from him. Once you do that, things become a lot easier. “He’s a strong guy. He hits hard with that right hand and that left hook is not too weak, either. I’m looking for the best Randall Bailey and I want him to bring his best because I know that will bring out the best in me.” Jones wants to make a strong statement with his performance on June 9, and although he rarely makes a prediction on his fights, he nonetheless is confident on what he’s going to do. “Making a statement in this fight is showing my best, winning the fight and looking fantastic,” Jones said. “The plan always is for me to show the world something better each and every time out. “I don’t have a prediction, but I’m just going to beat him down.” # # # FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Media): Lee Samuels, Top Rank: 702-378-2083 or [email protected] Ricardo Jimenez, Top Rank: 909-615-3496 or [email protected] Fred Sternberg, Sternberg Comm: 303-548-0707 or [email protected] Ed Keenan, EMC Events: 609-399-1330 or [email protected] Patrick Byrne, HBO PPV: 212-512-1361 or [email protected] Media Credentials: [email protected] Maureen Sacks, Peltz Boxing: 215-765-0922 or [email protected] Jay Seidman, PR for Mike Jones, Teon Kennedy, Jesse Hart: 856-627-1356 or [email protected].

  • Mike Jones Getting Stronger for His Dec. 3 Fight Vs
    MIKE JONES GETTING STRONGER FOR HIS DEC. 3 FIGHT VS. SEBASTIAN LUJAN Philadelphia, PA—Undefeated welterweight contender Mike Jones, of Philadelphia, PA, who faces two-time world title challenger Sebastian Lujan, of Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, in an IBF world title eliminator on the Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito card Dec. 3 at Madison Square Garden, has added another strength and conditioning coach to his team. Rich Meudt, 54, who has been conditioning athletes in various sports for the last 27 years, has been working with Jones for the last two months. “When Mike started working with me he looked like a new-born calf,” said Meudt, a retired major after a 22-year stint in the Army. “Now he’s a strong bull. His legs are firmer, stronger and explosive. His balance, conditioning and endurance are excellent. He does everything I ask him to do and he exceeds all expectations.” ________________________________________________ *** http://youtu.be/LGoBvT9GyhU *** Follow Mike Jones on twitter: @boxermikejones ________________________________________________ Meudt was brought on board by fellow-Jones strength and conditioning coach Danny Davis, who has worked with Jones for the last several years and who is also well-known for his longtime association with Bernard Hopkins. “I brought Rich in to focus on Mike’s legs and conditioning,” said Davis. “Rich has done a great job, bringing in his expertise and knowledge. Mike looks very strong and sharp and he’s a hard worker who wants to go to the highest level and never complains about what he’s asked to do. That’s what makes a champion.” Jones has responded well to the rigors of the grueling sessions.

  • Mike Jones Fights Irving Garcia; Naba, Nabo Welterweight Titles on the Line July 9 in Atlantic City
    MIKE JONES FIGHTS IRVING GARCIA; NABA, NABO WELTERWEIGHT TITLES ON THE LINE JULY 9 IN ATLANTIC CITY Atlantic City, NJ—The Road To The World Title continues for welterweight contender Mike Jones, of Philadelphia, PA, as he puts his unbeaten record and his world ranking on the line in a scheduled 12-round contest against Irving Garcia, of Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, on Friday evening, July 9, in the ballroom at Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall. Also at stake will be Jones’ North American Boxing Association (NABA) and North American Boxing Organization (NABO) titles. The first of seven fights begins at 7.30 p.m. Jones, 27, is 21-0, 17 K0s, and he is ranked among the Top 10 welterweights by all four major world sanctioning bodies: No. 3 WBO; No. 5 WBA; No. 7 IBF; No. 7 WBC. Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather and Andre Berto are on Jones’ radar, but Garcia stands in the way. This will be Jones’ fifth consecutive fight in Atlantic City and his first as a headliner at Boardwalk Hall. He has victories over Lenin Arroyo, Raul Pinzon, Henry Bruseles (who had not lost since Mayweather beat him in 2005) and Hector Munoz in previous Atlantic City fights. “We are moving to a larger venue since the Jones-Bruseles fight sold out the ballroom at Bally’s last February,” said Hall-of-Fame promoter J Russell Peltz. “Ticket demand was high for that fight and we ran out of seats nine days before the match. We anticipate a high demand for tickets for this one, also.” Jones won the vacant NABA title Aug.

  • Jones Makes Garden Debut
    MIKE JONES MAKES GARDEN DEBUT DEC. 3 AGAINST SEBASTIAN LUJAN FOR IBF TOP WELTERWEIGHT SLOT Philadelphia, PA—Undefeated welterweight contender Mike Jones, of Philadelphia, PA, makes his first appearance at Madison Square Garden on Saturday evening, Dec. 3, when he faces two-time world title challenger Sebastian Lujan, of Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, in one of the featured fights on the Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito card. The winner of the Jones-Lujan 12-round contest will gain the No. 1 position in the welterweight rankings of the International Boxing Federation (IBF), currently ruled by Andre Berto. “This is a tougher assignment than the ones Mike had with Jesus Soto-Karass,” said promoter J Russell Peltz, whose company is promoting this match with Top Rank, Inc. Peltz was referring to the two victories Jones (pictured) earned over Mexico’s Soto-Karras, the first one Nov. 13, 2010, in Cowboys Stadium by 10-round majority decision, the second one last Feb. 19 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas by 12-round unanimous decision. “Mike said that if fighting Lujan over 12 rounds is what he has to do to get a title shot, then he’s fine with it. He knows what he has to do to win and he knows he has to be in the same shape—or better—than he was for the second fight with Soto-Karass.” Jones: “Lujan puts on pressure, but not constant pressure like Soto- Karass. He moves his head a lot more than Soto-Karass but he throws wide punches. This could put me in line to fight for the world championship.” A pro since 2005, Jones, 28, has a 25-0 record with 18 knockouts.

  • Mike Jones' Trainer Predicts Big Night for His Fighter
    MIKE JONES’ TRAINER PREDICTS BIG NIGHT FOR HIS FIGHTER Philadelphia, PA -- Vaughn Jackson, who has beentraining undefeatedwelterweightMike Jones (26-0, 19 KOs) since Jones turned pro in 2005, has a quiet, yet bold confidence as his fighter is less than a week from boxing Randall Bailey (42-7, 36 KOs) for the vacant IBF world welterweight title on June 9 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV, as part of the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley championship card. “He’s well-prepared,” Jackson said of Jones, 29, the No. 1 rated IBF welterweight contender. “Mike is going to bring out the best in himself.” Jackson is well aware of Bailey’s reputation as one of boxing’s strongest punchers, but feels that won’t be enough against Jones, a knockout threat himself with a 73% knockout percentage to Bailey’s 72%. “I’ve been watching Randall Bailey for quite a while now,” Jackson said. “He still has a lot of power, but I’m not expecting any changes since he’s an older guy stuck in his old ways. Whatever he brings, we’ll be ready for it. “People talk and say what they’re going to do, but when Bailey gets in the ring and feels how strong Mike is, he’s going to be in a lot of trouble and have his hands full. He’ll realize then he’s in with a full-blown 147-pound man. Mike is big. If Bailey thinks he can bully Mike, that’s not going to happen.” Jackson, 42, one of the best of the new breed of trainers, feels that Jones has a big advantage in overall boxing skills, speed and movement, which will allow the younger Jones, to dictate the pace of the fight.

    PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release January 5, 2012 Contact: Ellen Haley [email protected] Main Events BOXING FANS WIN WITH ROSADO vs. SOTO KARASS CO-FEATURE On Saturday, January 21, boxing fans will be treated to an all-out war at the Asylum Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania when hometown favorite "King" Gabriel Rosado (18-5, 10 KO's) battles Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico's Jesus Soto Karass (24-6-3, 16 KO's) in a ten-round junior middleweight showdown live on NBC Sports Network at 9pm E/T. The bout is part of a fan-pleasing card headlined by a ten-round heavyweight clash between "Fast" Eddie Chambers (36-2, 18 KO's) and Sergei "White Wolf" Liakhovich (25-4, 16 KO's), and is the first of four outstanding fight cards to be televised by the network this year. Rosado, 25, has never been in a dull fight due to his crowd-pleasing style, and is riding a four-fight winning streak heading into his contest with Soto Karass. Rosado's technique is very exciting for fight fans because he uses adept lateral movement remarkably well, but always ends up in a blow-for-blow fracas with the opposition. Rosado is ecstatic to fight again in his hometown of Philadelphia and says he is prepared to take on Soto Karass. "He's coming up to my weight class," stated Rosado. "I have the size advantage, and I am going to use my power more in this fight. I could always box, but I am going to back this guy up!" Rosado added, "He's used to guys boxing him.
