Former BALCO chief Victor Conte, who is working with Berto tweeted “Andre Berto’s postive test for nandrolone has absolutely nothing to do with me or any supplements I provided. Likely trace contamination.”

Rough, tough and battle tested, Sanchez’ resume speaks for itself. The Puerto Rican shared the squared circle with world champion Adrien Broner, contender Edner Cherry and undefeated prospects Mark Davis and Ronny Rios. Dubbed as “The Vampire,” Sanchez, 13-6-1 (5 KO’s), twice won bouts in the backyard of previously unbeaten opponents, outpointing Rod Salka and Eddie Irizarry.

Diaz-Sanchez is scheduled for ten rounds.

Retired Marine and crowd favorite Nate Serrano, 4-1 (1 KO), of Yakima, WA will look to win his second straight bout when he challenges Portland, OR’s Osvaldo Rojas in a six round welterweight contest. Serrano’s fresh off a dramatic second round stoppage of Nicholas Balestra while Rojas, 6-2-1 (2 KO’s), makes his first start since 2010.

Also appearing on the undercard is Canadian sensation Sarah Pucek against an opponent to be named. Other undercard bouts will be announced shortly.

Doors open at 6 pm and the opening bell is scheduled for 7.

For the past few years, two-time world champion Randall “The Knockout King” Bailey has been one of the most avoided boxers in the world, largely due to his awesome punching power, which has put 36 of his 42 victims to sleep. The ageless Floridian gets an overdue opportunity on June 9 to capture his third world title as he takes on Mike Jones for the vacant International Boxing Federation (“IBF”) Welterweight Championship, in the 12-round co-feature on the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley pay-per-view card, live from MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
“I just kept my fingers crossed and left things to my manager (Si Stern) and promoter (Lou DiBella),” remarked the highly respected Bailey while speaking about being avoided.  “Guys claimed that they were fighting me but when it came time to sign a contract, they turned down fights.  I feel that nobody wants to take a chance fighting me.  I have to keep winning the right fights like this one and eventually the really big fights will happen.”

IBF #1 contender Jones (26-0, 19 KOs) passed on one opportunity to fight IBF #2 Bailey (42-7, 36 KOs), who earned his way into a mandatory title fight by stopping Jackson Osei Bonsu in the first round of their March 19, 2010, IBF title eliminator in Belgium.

“We went down the list for that eliminator,” Bailey explained, “and Jones was ranked ahead of Bonsu but he (Jones) turned down the fight.  Now, he’s in a position where he doesn’t have a choice but to fight me.

“In my head, he’s a dangerous puncher, and that’s how I’m training, like he’s the toughest guy I’ve ever fought.  By doing that, I’ll be prepared for whatever he brings into the ring.  I’m working the hardest I can for what he’s bringing on June 9th.  There won’t be any surprises.”

Randall won his first 21 pro fights, all by knockout, including his World Boxing Organization (“WBO”) light welterweight title-winning performance against Carlos Gonzalez in 1999.  Two successful title defenses followed for Randall against Hector Lopez and Rocky Martinez. Bailey stopped Demetrio Ceballos in the third round to become the Interim World Boxing Association (“WBA”) Light Welterweight Champion in 2002.

“I never hit (in terms of mainstream popularity) when I was world champion,” Randall promised, “and I will have that same attitude but, first, I need to beat Mike Jones.”

Arguably the most powerful pound-for-pound puncher in the world, in addition to Bonsu, Martinez, Ceballos and Lopez, Bailey has also stopped Juan Polo Perez, Harrison Cuello, Frankie Figueroa, Santos Pakau, Anthony Mora and Juan Polo Perez.

“I most definitely know when I hit my opponent right,” Bailey remarked.  “I didn’t really have to do too much earlier in my career because I was fighting at 140 pounds and weighted 146 walking around.  I’d get calls to fight, only two weeks in advance, and take it because I wouldn’t have trouble losing weight.  I was young with energy to spare.  Knockouts came a lot easier for me back then.  I was like a bull back then, going forward throwing bombs and looking to knock out guys.  Now, I’m more patient, letting my opponents make mistakes and then capitalizing.  That’s what patience is all about; they run into my bomb. When I hit somebody right, I pretty much know what the outcome will be.  I believe I have the power to put anybody’s lights out if I hit them clean.”

The Flint, Michigan-invader won nine of 10 rounds on two judges’ scorecards and swept all 10 on the other.

“I fight for oppressed people all over the world, not myself,” El-Amin commented after the fight.  “I come from a poor place and want to build-up my city.  I’m fighting for my father who has been imprisoned in Illinois for 15 years for a crime he’s innocent.  We have proof.  It’s an injustice.  His name is Dion Savage, Sr.”

“Homecoming” – presented by Chicago Fight Clubs Promotion (“CFC Promotion”) — was the first professional boxing show held in seven years in Lowell, a well-known hotbed for amateur boxing, annually hosting the New England Championships. Lowell is best known as the home of “Irish” Micky Ward and Dicky Eklund, the principal subjects in the award-winning movie, “The Fighter.”  They worked the corners for McCreedy and his CFC Promotion stable-mate, Sean Eklund (10-4, 2 KOs), who is the nephew of Micky and Dicky.

In the co-feature, Ward-trained light welterweight Sean Eklund (11-4, 2 KOs), also fighting at home in Lowell for the first time as a pro, won a unanimous decision in his  first eight-round bout from 22-fight veteran James Ventry.

“I could hear the fans and it was inspirational,” the 28-year-old Eklund said after the fight, “but I had to stay within myself.  I got wild a few times.  I hurt him in the first round and loaded up trying to knock him out.  He’s a tough kid who has been stopped only twice.  I didn’t have much amateur experience, so I’m gaining experience now, and have gotten better in each of my last three fights.”

Chicago light welterweight Antonio “Aztec God of War” Canas (6-0-1) overcame  two third-round knockdowns to remain unbeaten in a six-round majority draw in an entertaining fight with Tyrone Chatman (9-1-2, 6 KOs).

US Marine Jimmy Smith, who did two tours in Iraq, decked Rafael Jusino in the opening round but soon the fight was halted after a cut opened over Jusino’s eye from and accidental head-butt.  The match was ruled a no contest.

New Jersey middleweight Anthony Jones (1-0-1) won his first pro fight with a unanimous four-round decision over pro-debuting Bernie Ongewe.
