Proposed DelaHoya vs. Pacquiao Fight Card

[XaduBoxer]

So far this is what they're advertising now:

HBO PPV
Saturday, December 6 2008
MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada
Oscar De La Hoya vs Manny Pacquiao (junior middleweight)
Gerry Penalosa vs Abner Mares (bantamweight)
Rey Bautista vs TBA (super bantamweight)


I hope Bautista's TBA is Jhonny Gonzalez... or Bernabe Concepcion

There's also a possibility that Campbell vs. JMM will be added to this card...

Whoa!!! What a tremendous PPV card...

Proposed DelaHoya vs. Pacquiao Fight Card

Oscar DelaHoya vs. Manny Pacquiao
12 rounds Welterweight Fight

Steve Luevano vs. Bernabe Concepcion
WBO Featherweight Championship

Gerry Peñalosa vs. Abner Mares
WBO Bantamweight Championship

Rey Bautista vs. Jhonny Gonzalez
10 rounds Super Bantamweight Fight

De La Hoya is putting Pacquiao in a coma. Luevano would out work Concepcion. Mares would dominate Penaolsa. And Gonzalez shatters Bumtista glass jaw.

almost the same prediction you did during the first philippines vs mexico cup. youre just a hater. i dont know where the hate comes from but you got to see a doctor. i could almost call it racism.

link --> Juan Manuel Lopez-Bernabe Concepcion Likely, Says Arum - Boxing News

Lopez was originally scheduled to fight Sergio Manuel Medina who had lost a twelve round decision to current WBO No.1 ranked Rey “Boom Boom” Bautista on May 5 last year but it seems that Medina may have to step aside to make way for Concepcion if the deal is finalized.

The astute promoter said he believes it will be “a tough, tough fight for Concepcion but they seem to want the fight. They seem to figure that they can win. You can’t argue with anybody. They want the fight. We didn’t even offer it to them. They went after it.”




They seems to be close friends...

concepcion's chin is gonna be tested big-time.juanma on the other hand should prepare for a 12-round war if this kid can take his punch(which i doubt,,or is unlikely..or unimaginable)..concepcion almost has to bring a 'margarito-liked chin' if he wants to atleast get past round3.if he does then this should be a fight.

[Kirkland Laing]

JuanMa could be the next big thing in boxing. I don't think this will be another first round KO but i think he'll stop Concepcion.

we are all thinking of Conceptions family , our hearts go out to you all .

I like this fight more compared to JuanMa vs. Medina... Another Filipino (Concepcion) who is a heavy underdog...

[mexirican]

This fight is going to be a great one. The two styles and workrate all add up to a don't blink edge of your seat fight. Juanaman will come out with a hard earned impressive victory.

Plus both are young (Concepcion-20 and JuanMa-25) explosive bombers... Should be a great fight...

they could pass for brothers.

Beforehand, this is in no way a joke. But a post from a while ago showed the potential undercard for the Pac vs Oscar event. Wasn't it supposed to be an all Filipino vs Mexican night where each Filipino was the underdog?

If this true, then it sure seems like they're throwing Concepion to the wolves. If his handlers think he has a real future as a champ, then they wouldn't throw him in with Lopez right now. They'd give him time to develop.

Yeah, you'd have to think so as it is... I honestly haven't seen Conceptiono so don't know what kind of a matchup this is..... As of now I feel sorry for anyone getting in the ring with Lopez, though I would love to see an upset.

Concepcion is 27-1-1 while JuanMa is 23-0-0. Concepcion has been around the world boxing in China, USA, Mexico and Philippines for almost 5 years now. He's been tested in many tough fights tho the quality of opposition favors JuanMa. He's the no. 3 contender to JuanMa's crown.

Concepcion is the underdog here but this is not a mismatch everybody is worried about. Concepcion rightfully earned this shot at JuanMa.

I guess the promoters wants to capture the boricua market too...
