    i think this will teach us not to expect too much from the young ones. they still have a lot of room to grow. even pac had to pick himself up from two ko losses before he became truly great. i just hope AJ gets over this and actually take it as a learning experience

    yup, i don't know if all of them are following up a similar style..the only one i am fond of is still banal, he seriously needs a different trainer.

    banal is kinda like gorez... with more power. ALA fighters have one trainer that's why they all have the same style. Check out their stance... feet are well apart.

    yes, and the tempo plus usual 1-2 punching..i also notice that with boom2 although gorres and banal are way better in performing that style.

    That is why Mares is one of my favorite prospects... The guy reminds me of a young JMM but more exciting. Throws beautiful combos with speed...

    it was a bit competitive, banal got caught in the lower part of the body. He's still young though, its just like pac before getting KOed twice to the body.

    I tell you i've been watching gorez for sometime now and even saw him fight live. The guy can box... If he was in the amateur he'll probably win gold for P.I. in the olympics.

    so banal got excited and poured it on on the early goings? i've heard from news that his opponent is a puncher. was banal tagged by a single punch or just accumulation of punches?

    any chance of a replay tomorrow? well it definitely is a learning experience from him. this fight shows that no matter how much talent and skill you have, there is no substitute for fighting smart and experience.

    Concepcion tired Banal out w/ accummulation of body punches. He lost his sting in the later rounds. He got knocked out w/ legit punch while cornered on the ropes.
