Concepcion misses weight

Concepcion always was a stocky little fella.....so if Yafai wins he is Deffo champ then????

 

By how much? He might be pulling a Salido/Rubio and try to get an edge over Yafar.

 

Absolute joke to be honest.

 

Wow... that's not even trying.
Looks like he pulled a Salido indeed.

 

How embarrassing is that. Although not half as humiliating had it been at Slimming World, "bloody hell Trish, what have you been eating, pebbles"?

 

Can this PPV get any more low rent and sleazy? The legalised equivalent of GBH as a main event, the support fight that is driving the show being sold on threats of violence afterwards together with water and tables being thrown, all rounded off nicely by a ''world champion'' failing to come near the weight.

Thank the Gods for BT pumping money into the sport next year, because given free reign Matchroom would have steel chair shots at press conferences, salt thrown in the face of the referee, and 2 versus 1 fights in 2017.

 

**** take

 

What an unprofessional cheating POS. If he tries any low blows then he needs to get DQ'd straight away. The Salido model shouldn't be one we encourage.

 

You don't know he is cheating yet in fairness. We can't just assume he is following the "Salido model". He may have simply outgrown the division...he is in his 30s after all. This has cost him his title after all.

 

I think it's bad news for Yafai.

I don't like it, I really don't like it, a couple of ounces I can put down to a miscalculation, carelessness or the fact they just can't shift that last little bit of weight but well over 2lb is a blatant attempt to gain an advantage in my opinion.

 

But it has cost him the title.....hardly what he would want ????

 

Indeed ...and Yafai is not a global superstar...a huge name, where beating him might be worth giving up a world titleAND as you say, likely a big fine too.

If this is a "tactical" move by Concepcion, as some are suggesting, it is a very strange one indeed.!!!!!
