    Roach Says Concepcion is Not Title Shot Ready

    North American Boxing Federation super bantamweight champion Bernabe Concepcion’s trainer, Freddie Roach, is convinced that the 20 year old Filipino is not yet ready for a world title fight especially against a champion like Juan Manuel Lopez. [details]

          Concepcion is a pretty good body puncher.. I'll put him similiar to Cotto's style.. He's only 20 years old.. Pac will escort him next week.

            What's with promoters these days so eager to put their young prospects in against well schooled hard hitting champs? I seriously thought Bautista wasn't ready yet for Ponce and look what happened. Then again, look what happened when Ponce met Lopez. I even thought Lopez wasn't ready for Ponce yet, but boy was I wrong. I think people are too eager to make fast money these days and guys with barely 20 wins are already facing the top dawgs in the division. They need to give it more time because one thing you can't speed up is experience. Conception is wayyy too wild for a guy like Lopez. He'll make it easier than KOing Ponce if that's possible to imagine. Plus I've seen Conception rocked in his last fight for a few seconds. I can't imagine if Lopez lands...

              Crap...

              Mr. Ronnie and Mr.Roach are full of sh**t. In the Cebu newspapers was told that Lopez ducked Concepcion when that didnt even happened. Before Lopez was champion they were saying that Concepcion would beat Lopez easily, now what?? full of S**t these Filipinos are...Roach has demencia, needs a tune up..

                Pac is handling him.


                I seen his fight with Juan Diaz, He handle the crowd pretty good consider him fighting in Mexico.

                he just need abit of polishing on his skills and conditioning.
