***Bernabe Concepcion vs. Juan Manuel Lopez - June 12th Madison Square Garden***

It looks like it is inevitable now.

Tonight Bernabe has shown that he has a weakness at the body but has a strong chin. He will be Juan Manuel Lopez's biggest puncher to date, it could get interesting if JML decides to brawl.

Lets continue the Adobo brother rivalry where Pacman and Cotto last left us off.

Philippines vs. Puerto Rico

 

Concepcion would be fodder for JuanMa!

 

I wish PacDbest was still around.

Other than his defense of Pacquiao he adamantly believed that Concepcion would beat JML.

 

well if concepcion can handle juanma's power then he has a shot, he needs a tough chin for him able to cut the distance... mtagwa exposed this in their fight... lopez tends to fight flat footed sometimes...

Lopez by UD.

 

Bernabe isn't throwing any wrenches in the Lopez-Gamboa plans. As long as Gamboa doesn't take a crazy stiff tune-up, the star prospects have a date that they'll be keeping.

 

I'll be rooting for Concepcion

 

JuanMa has the skills to box his way to a UD against Concepcion. But If Bernabe can get JML to brawl he can turn the fight around to his favor. A well conditioned and focused Abe can be a tough fight for JuanMa.

 

bob arum would not let the fight happen

 

Arum is more interested for a Lopez-Gamboa clash. If this fights never happens, then Concepcion-Lopez would be great also.

 

Lopez-Gamboa is not happenning anytime soon, Arum needs to make more money out of both b4 cashing out on 1 of them!

 

I think everyone around Concepcion knows he doesnt have a fruitful career in this sport, hes been training as part of a special tactical team for the police in the PI for awhile now I think that is where his heart is at. He was fortunate to get out of tonight's fight with Santiago with a W. The JML fight will be his cash out.

Its a mismatch but unlike JML's last opponents Bernabe has a puncher's chance.

 

You need to be a puncher to have a puncher's chance Concepcion's KO power is not that much greater than Luevanos(JML's last opponent)!

 

misleading stat

Concepcion can definetely bang, he had Santiago on ***** street something Luevano couldnt do.

 

Like I said Lueavno is not a puncher and Concepcion is only slightly better in that department!

 

JuanMa would b way to slick for Concepcion and I think he wins a UD maybe even stopping him to the body mid/late rounds...
