    Well at 1st glance I was gonna ask why would Steve not go for it?

    But after further review Steve just went the distance last month and would have about 4 weeks or so to prepare for the fight. I'm guessing it's a time thing... But not sure on that.

    I also checked the IBF rankings and Bernabes not even ranked there. I see Boom Boom Baustista there but not Bernabe...

    So all in all for me, I'm not too bothered over this as I don't think the fight makes sense to Steve.

    Concepcion challenged Molitor on the strength of Concepcion being the NABF Super Bantam champ... Also that Molitor being considered as the weakest among the current 122 world champs...

    It's a bit misleading to say Molitor is the weakest of all the bantamweight champs as although clearly he lacks the experience and resume's of the other guys he's developing into a fantastic fighter.

    If he fought Ponce De Leon and Cabbelero right now he has an excellent chance of beating either in my opinion.

    Vazquez is obviously a really tough fight but we've yet to see the effect that the ring wars Marquez and Vazquez have had and how detrimental it will be to their future careers.

    Quite honestly I've got a feeling Marquez is now on the slide and Vazquez has been in many ring wars.

    It's possible Molitor could emerge as the divisions best fighter over the next 12/18 months, certainly number 2 behind Vazquez.

    I would say skill wise Molitor is actually one of the most skilled fighters at 122 IMO anyway.

    I think ultimately what will propel Steve to being considered one of the best, is more his intelligence in the boxing ring. Of course that will not get you far alone, but if matched with a good skill set...who knows.

    By calling Molitor as the weakest 122 champ, Team Concepcion might have based it on KO percentage;

    Ponce De Leon - 88% (30 KO of 34 wins)

    Vazquez - 72% (31 of 43)

    Caballero - 68% (19 of 28 )

    Molitor - 37% (10 of 27)


    BTW, Concepcion has a 56% KO ratio (14 of 25)...
