    Why did Donaire have such a hard time against Concepcion?

    I really don't get that. Concepcion is a B fighter at best, with a crappy record. Was it out of some kind of mutual pinoy respect that Donaire didnt wanna embarrass him or was it because Concepcion, being a pinoy, knew Donaire's style better and could adapt to it?

            The guy who was 14 pounds overweight? Nonito let the fight happen even tho the opponent was overweight, he didn't want to disappoint fans.

              was two weight classes above donaire at weigh in and even that much heavier on fight night. Donaire said screw it and fought him anyway.
