    Rafael Concepcion Moving Up To Bantamweight Next

    Panama’s Rafael “El Torito” Concepcion who failed to make the 115 pound super flyweight limit for his WBA interim title fight against Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire at the Hard RBock Hotel and Casino on Sunday, Manila Time, will move up to bantamweight. [details]

    Doesn't make sense. Concepcion is reportedly having trouble making even 119. How can he be moving up to bantamweight which is at 118?

          I think this is a dangerous ploy by rafael Concepcion, because the way i understand it, he was trained for 119.5 lbs or having 4.5lbs advantage to defeat Donaire at the expense of just $13,000 from his purse. I don't believe he tried to dehyrates himself to 115lbs because after six days of doing dehydration, his weight the same! The intention from Concepcion camp is as clear as crystal water, he would fight at tremendous weight advantage against Donaire.

          But I know Donaire would still prevail from this fight!

            co-sign! Concepcion should go to Superbantam weight if he can not even dehydrate himself to 118 from 119.5lbs within six days???! He is not qualified for Bantamweight

              Basically, Nonito is up against a boxer who's 2 weight classes above the contracted weight limit. I hope that extra $6,500 Nonito pocketed is worth it, because he could be in a world of trouble if Rafael Concepcion didn't put any effort to lose the extra poundage just to get an advantage over Nonito...
