I think Nonito is on easy street tonight. The 4.5 excess poundage that Concepcion carries is a sure sign of a questionable camp preparations. Concepcion will come out looking like a bum on this one, factoring Donaire's distinct advantage in hand speed, and overall skills.

Although one thing of note, Cancepcion is one tough hombre, as AJ Banal found out the last time they faced each other in the ring.

AJ's excellent winning chances earlier on in the fight fizzled, as his nerves frayed, at the realization that the tough guy before him was simply not going away! Conditioning is king!

**********

The Steven Luevano vs Abe Concepcion fight (the other Concepcion in the card), will serve notice for being the more entertaining fight, of the two double header. If Bernabe worked on his stamina issues at the training camp, he will provide a slambang affair come fight night, otherwise, he will be a victim of his own short stature glaringly pales in comparison to that of champ Steven Luevano's.

He will be unable to overcome this. He will need to constantly pressure his opponent with a cardio attack, since he does not have the one-punch knockout power.

The way for Abe to beat an excellent boxer/counter puncher in Luevano, is by the way of delivering effective, and accumulating barrage, of power punches. With the right conditioning, Abe Concepcion should be capable of delivering this. Punches in bunches, is easier said than done tho', one needs a supreme commitment on turning in three-minute action packed rounds, one after another.

Champ Luevano will box him silly if it goes the distance, might even win by stoppage. He has too much experience, too much length, and with an excellent counter-punching skills for Abe Concepcion to overcome, in whom I see as a perennially winded slugger, and amazingly, for he is still quite a bit of a youngster!

Heck! I just hope Abe Concepcion surprises.... and wins via the short route!
