Comments Thread For: Bernabe Concepcion Decisions Santiago, Juanma is Next

[AP♠]

Juanma will have a easy night of work

+1 for an honest opinion.Fight isnt signed but i dont count anybody out either.

It sounds like the Puerto Ricans aren't giving too much credit to Concepcion for this win. The way you guys are talking is that Santiago might've won in a 15 round fight. You're not out right saying that. But it sounds like you are describing the fight in an opposite way of how it actually went down. I don't think Lopez is that much of a body puncher either. He's a head hunter. If Concepcion was able to knock Santiago down, then you need to give him some props instead of thinking that he's an automatic future KO win on Juan Ma's resume.

Well for starters . I thought it was a closer fight than 98-91 for example. Out of ten rounds I saw Santiago take the last 2 , take the fifth , and I think there was another one. Concepcion beat him. Im not arguing that. But in 2 1 Santiago build a small rally with no time , just at will , speaks a lot about bernabe , and his vulnerability. And that was against a lesser opponent than the 1 he is about to face. Lopez has superior speed , reflexes , accuracy , and power. 2 more rounds and well be talking another story. so no seas tan mamon y empiezes a hablar mierda. If u think 98-91 was a good score then ur just a hater

I agree. Concepcion disappointed me... Juanma aint gonna let him rest like that. ****er needs to throw or box or something. He ain't gonna knock out everyone, he needs to think about winning rounds.

true true

Concepcion needs to be more agressive.

concepcion should just be sacraficed to Gamboa so we can see lopez-gamboa matchup :blow:

Concepcion needs to work on setting up his power punches, rather than trying to take the opponents head off every round. He has a power punch and that is probably his best chance of beating Juan Ma. Unless Concepcion gets more busy instead of power punching all the time, he will lose to Juan Ma by decision. I want to see this fight, and will be cheering for CONCEPCION, but he needs to work on setting up his power punches and get more busy per round....

Santiago might have won the last round but not the ninth round. Second of all Juan Ma is very skilled, but he won't be walking down Concepcion once he feels his power...Concepcion has been fighting in this weight class longer than Juan Ma...Juan Ma has not dominated in this weight class accorcding to last fight..he got the TKO on his last fight, but it wasn't in a dominating fashion. If Concepcion work on his condition to throw more punches and work to set his power punches, I have not doubt in my mind that he can beat Juan Ma. I'll give the slight edge to Juan Ma base on their recent fights, but I will no doubt be cheering CONCEPCION to beat Juan Ma....and if he beat Juan Ma it will not be an upset...It's because he is the stronger puncher in that weight class.

Concepcion is good , he got speed , he got power , hes explosive , his feet are quick. But Santiago is not on Lopez league. Santiago is not a strong fighjter that can hurt a guy with one punch and he if he was able to do that to concepcion in 1 round , I cant imagine what Juanmas accuracy and more powerful shots to the body and head do to concepcion. Concepcion isnt anything special. the 10th round was a scary one to the filipinos , and if it would have been a 12 round fight , I guarantee u there would have been at least 2 kd. Concepcion was hurt, he couldnt handle pressured nd getting caught man!!! He was hurt that last minute.And it was a rally that started that same round . And thats the way Lopez fights the whole fight , he puts pressure , he jabs a lot , and he throws powerful combinations. Lopez saw what Santiago did to concepcion in 1 round ok. Thats more than enough exposure man. One more thing , Puertto Rican boxing is one of the finest. And u saw Santiago at times , box his way out of trouble , get his feet back , and put himself back in the fight , as far as still having a chance for a ko. And who is better , Lopez , or Santiago???

Mario took too long, Concepcion dont like body punches, he gets KOd by Juanma

I think Lopez should just dig to the body early and that will slow him down and leave himself open of the knockout late in the fight.

Concepcion could give Lopez some problems but he just doesn't throw enough. He lacks judgment at times too.

Other than that I like Concepcion, he's a good fighter but lopez should be able to take him out.

One thing for sure tho is concepcion has power.. You can never count out a guy with KO power.

yep, at the very least he has a punchers chance against nearly anyone he fights.

Lopez I think has a better chin than people realize and he should be able to keep Concepcion at a safe distance but you just never know
