I never thought he was special anyway, in fact, I told PacD that he'd get KOed before getting in place to fight for a title.:yep
i was not really that high on boom2 before the loss, especially when i notice his chin was suspect prior to de leon and i was right. Banal is a different fighter and more skilled btw. I still have high hopes for him, he's going to be better than anyone else of the ALA fighters. And if he's the next pacquiao as you said, perhaps the loss has a reason, remember pacquiao loss twice earlier in his career also because of a body shot:yep
well, i thought pacquiao was not special when he was just a 19 year old kid. i felt he was just lucky to win the title from sasakul back then.
i tell you bro the reason its because of that style, jumping around, 1-2 punching tempo, not much mixing up, banal has great natural ability..but he needs a different trainer. And now that he knows he has the same problems as pac when pac was 19 he needs to trained that area just like what pac did, although pac was much worst getting KOed through the body in the early rounds.
You know nothing. The kid collapsed on his way back to the corner and 2nd time on his way to the dug out due to low level of electrolytes in his blood and had to be confined in the hospital for 2 days. :-(
hopefully they learn from their losses...Banal didnt get beat up from that fight, he was exhausted...well those body shots probably helped a lot
i told everybody that the guy was a knockout waiting to happen. he was getting massively overrated round these parts. people even thought he was gonna beat donaire. seriously. i was like wtf? i was making some boomboom references but was told there was no comparison. well, they were right. at least boomboom made it to world level.
Normally boxers win some and lose some at 19 since normally 19 olds are amateurs... Banal looked very good in the first few rounds just couldn't finish Concepcion off, maybe the experience was missing... no worries, in 3 years he'll still be just 22, and I expect him to be a world champion by then.
i think theres a big difference, the knockout for one was because he was out of gas..he mostly relied on putting his opponents away early in his previous fights, boom2x on the other hand is chinny and prior to his knockout loss there are a lot of indications he had a shaky chin i think he could still come back, just as pac had problems with his conditioning before and was also blown out by a nobody
