Hmmnn... Top Rank keeping it as a family affair, both are Top Rank boxers...

Luevano is a great counter puncher, but I think Concepcion's all around game will prove to be too much here.

May 2's Pacquiao vs. Hatton card turning out to be a good card with the addition of Concepcion vs. Luevano...

I like Luevano, but I hope this is no more than the 1st or 2nd undercard fight on the show.

For a fight as big as Pac-Hatton, they need a LEGIT co-feature that is good enough to be an HBO main event on its own. In other words, not something like Ortiz-Resto or Judah-Johnson.

I'm goin to this fight so I'm hopin they have a good undercard & this is a good start.

Would like to see Ortiz given a title shot on the undercard although that probably won't happen, maybe they could get a deal with either Urango or Kotelnik

Imo... Concepcion punch harder than Luevano. Luevano has questionable chin, but hes got skills, height, and reach advantage.

I'd say 50/50.

Steven Luevano is not the most talented boxer but he never fails to excite fans whenever he fights.he has been very hittable but proves to be durable and has great recuperative ability. He's a B-type fighter.. Concepcion,I think he's also a B-type fighter. This should be a great fair matchup.

He wasn't very exciting against Dib, too be fair, that was only half his fault.

bernabe is still young and is still improving, luevano is a good test for him. I am not so confident about this, i hope bernabe wins.

Have to disagree here and I'll tell you why.

How can a fighter whos a World Champ has defended his title 4 times be rated the same as a fighter who's best opponent is Gabriel Elizondo.

I would say at this time I would rate Luevano as a B class fighter and Concepcion a C class fighter. Concepcions skills have been tested against lower quality of opposition on the other hand Luevanos skills have been tested against higher quality opponents compared to eachother.

This is not to say Concepcion can't win or anything like that, this is to say that I feel on skills Luevano has proven more at this moment.
