Abe Concepcion continually shows that he fights with a small ticker, no surprise there. The DQ is heaven sent for him as it resulted luckily, to talks of a rematch, as all night, it showed him as the inferior fighter. Father Bob ever the promoter extraordinaire, saw angles right away just as soon as a roomful of resentment grew, a direct result of the fight's odd, and somewhat unclear outcome. Talks of a rematch is briskly taking shape as per Bob Arum, it might even result in one. Odd!
Steven Luevano was justified to make the fight boring, for he can easily be dropped with his glass chin if he had chosen otherwise. Great night for the champ Luevano, recognizing and utilizing what works for him and what delivered him from harm!
Honestly, I see a Bobby Pac in Abe Concepcion more than the next coming of a Manny Pacquiao, as over zealous fans have earlier pegged him. He will never amount to anything in boxing if he does not immerse himself in training like a mad man in the mold of the more famous Pacquiao.
"Train hard, so the fight is easy" says the P4P King.... Abe was not listening. The bell rang... again, Abe was not listening, dropped Steven Luevano like a ....... didn't matter. The champion Steven Luevano retains the crown!
Wins clearly by DQ! The referee, Jim Nady says... The only continuation left as physically, the champ cannot. Makes absolute sense!
I remember the great Marco Antonio Barrera delivering an "Abe" to the P4P King in their second fight, from a future HOF'er, this must be rightful or justified. He did not get automatically-dq'ed. What it did was to put a halt to Manny temporarily for a good length... did not enough to deter the PacMan though to finish the fight just as fans, would and should expect it.
Needless to say that PacMan won by unanimous decision despite braving a slight "buzzy" the rest of the fight. No "Holywood" in the Pacman, baffling, for he trains right there in the neighborhood, surey its magic should've rubbed a bit of it by now! LOL!
Perpetually winded, plodding, easily outmaneuvered, and limited, are some mean adjectives but however quite true, to describe Abe Concepcion against a "Luevano"... (no offense to the champ), but he is not the mega-type titlist, but just your everyday, garden variety kind of a champ.
I seriously doubt, not discounting his relatively young age, that Bernabe can reinvent himself and get all his potentials all-together, to propel him to one day be the world beater that he aspires to be! The surprise has... but a bit of crack left - but nary a hopeful one!
End of the tracks...
