Concepcion is in the Manny Pacquiao stable of young fighters.

WTF!!! Why is he running away from Caballero and Gamboa?? I used to like Juanma but more and more he's looking like a fraud to me.

Gamboa had this boy shooked he's obliged to publicly scout Concepcion and Santiago and take the winner instead of what the people (his own people even) like.
