    Reigning NABF super bantamweight champion Bernabe Concepcion will have to wait a little longer before landing a title shot. Concepcion received word from United States IBF super bantamweight king Steve Molitor refused to face him on the undercard to the Manny Pacquiao-David Diaz pay-per-view on June 28 at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

    Instead, the 20-year old native of Catanduanes will probably put his title on the line for the third time. Matchmaker Bruce Trampler of Concepcion’s Las Vegas-based promotional company, Top Rank, is looking for his challenger.

    “We’ll make another (NABF) title defense. Molitor refuse to fight Abe,” said Aljoe Jaro, handler and trainer of Concepcion in Binangonan, Rizal.

    Concepcion came back home in the Philippines last week after defending his title against American Torrence Daniels with impressive second round knockout at Plaza de Toros Juriquilla in Queretaro, Queretaro, Mexico on April 26.

    Concepcion has a record of 25-1-1 with 14 knockouts. He is ranked fourth under WBC super bantamweight king Israel “Magnifico” Vazquez (43-4, 31 KOs) of Mexico but unranked under Molitor (27-0,10 KOs).

    Molitor is 28-year old southpaw and stands three-inches taller than Concepcion at 5-foot-7. He is considered to be the weakest among the world champions in 122-pound class.

    Sush a shame!!!That would of been a AWESOME fight.It would have been mouth watering toe to toe action with a K.O included from one of them!!
    Molitor isn't a toe to toe fighter, and I believe he would give any of the other champions a run for their money if he can take their punches. Technically I see him as the best fighter, but obviously he doesn't hit very hard.

    Good on Moiltor for realizing he needs an extended break, he'll be better of for it. I wouldn't mind seeing him in against the other top guys of the division as I feel he'd be quite competitive

    Molitor isn't a toe to toe fighter...

    Maybe Yvonne is referring to Concepcion...
