Bernable is young and green but has too much power for Santiago. Santiago most likely will decide to brawl and doesnt have the experience to take Bernabe into deep waters.
I view Concepcion as being like a tiny version of Edison Miranda. Someone who's a good disciplined boxer should be able to beat him, and someone who can come forward with strong pressure should be ablle to beat him. I think Santiago leaves himself too wide open and doesn't have enough power to keep Concepcion off of him, and eventually Concepcion will catch him with that one big punch and knock him out. I don't think Concepcion wins without the KO though, unless he puts a serious dent in Santiago early that makes Santiago fight less aggressively.
Concepcion can punch, he can turn a fight around or end it with one punch. Santiago is no slouch, he can hit but not as hard as Bernabe. It's going to be a decent fight, with the winner being the Pinoy. I don't know if Concepcion can ko Santiago, but I think he does have enough to take a UD.
Mario is a good boxer and he needs to use his jab as Steven did against Bernabe. Bernabe has to be way more active and be aggressive. Mario could use this against him if he fights smart. I notice Bernabe likes throwing his punches, but also comes in with his head. I feel this fight would be won, who ever wins the last rounds. But if we compare both of these fighters to their fight against Steven, then im leaning towards Mario for the victory if he boxes and fights smart and simply just uses his jabs. I also feel Bernabe power is being overrated and Marios underrated.
santiago keeps his head too high sometimes and that cant be deadly against a puncher like concepcion so hopefully he got that corrected in training camp... i'll love for santiago to win but i think he gets stopped on the later rounds hopefully im wrong.. Can anybody tell me where i can pay to watch this fight online, i'm overseas and no ppv here.. please send me a message if you do :hat
is this on TV tomorrow? please say yes I have been drowning in work fellas but soon i will be back full fledged.....thanks for all the updates
Santiago will land early. I feel he will be the guy to test Concepcion's mettle. If Concepcion does survive, he'll take over the fight and win.
Im cheering for my fellow filipino but Concepcion is too small, Luevano had a huge size advanatage over him and Santiago had a size advantage over Luevano. I give Concepcion a decent puncher's chance though because Santiago's chin is lesser than Luevano's and I dont see Santiago doing stick and move. If he engages with Bernabe it could be lights out.
After watching Concepcion against luevano, i was very disappointed. I don't think Bernabe, at this point, is that great. He has power, thats it. Styles make fights though and I think this fight is up in the air.
