Juan Manuel Lopez TKO 2 Bernabe Concepcion TIME: 2:37
Lopez earns his 29Th pro victory, and gets his 26Th Knockout in the process. He was facing the Philippine "Real Deal" on Saturday. Though it was brief Concepcion put up a tough fight, flooring the young phenom. It was some what of a fire fight, with both men tasting the canvas. Anytime a young fighter is fighting in front of his hero, while in his backyard can be a distraction. In boxing if your head is not in the game 100% you can get knocked out. As Lopez found out by being knocked down in the first. I'm not taking all of the credit away from the challenger. Concepcion landed a power-shot and almost got lucky. Lopez showed real character as he hurt and finished Concepcion in the second with 2 knock downs. Lopez's next fight is against a real Mexican warrior, and he better be ready. Rafael Marquez will be the second challenger for his WBO featherweight title. Will Lopez be able to beat the older more rugged veteran? Marquez is very durable and has proved many times he is as tough as they come. I think Lopez will win by KO because his speed is too much for the older Marquez. Rafael has been in many wars and that can damage you. Lopez is like a new car with few dings, while Marquez is an older model that has been driven very hard. Either way I can't wait to see this match up on September 18Th.
