| Mikey Garcia-Bernabe Concepcion Added To 3/10 Card
|
|
By Ryan Maquiñana BoxingScene.com has been advised that NABF featherweight titleholder Mikey Garcia will fight Bernabe Concepcion in a WBO on March 10. The bout will be televised on Showtime and serve as the co-feature to Orlando Salido’s rematch with Juan Manuel Lopez. Garcia (27-0, 23 KOs), out of Oxnard, Calif., is coming off a fourth-round stoppage of Juan Carlos Martinez last October on the Nonito Donaire-Omar Narvaez undercard. Meanwhile, Concepcion (29-5-1, 15 KOs), now hailing from Manila, Philippines, won a controversial split decision over Aaron Garcia that same month for the vacant WBC Continental Americas 126-pound title. Ryan Maquiñana writes a weekly column for Comcast SportsNet Bay Area (CSNBayArea.com). He’s also a member of the Boxing Writers Association of America and Ring Magazine’s Ratings Advisory Panel.

In Garcia's last fight, he demolished a guy that schooled Concepcion. They're both power punchers, with Garcia being the more disciplined and polished of the two. It should be an entertaining fight. |

[QUOTE=ThePhantom5]No it doesn't.
While Juanma-Concepcion was short, it provide plenty of fireworks.

This fight should be fun while it lasts.[/QUOTE]

I hope this is a mistake and BoxingScene just got their filipinos mixed up lol.
I met Farenas in a casino elevator after one of his fights last year. Cool guy, was happy for him when I heard about this fight. Ill be disappointed if Bernabe takes his place. |
