Fernando Montiel vs Rafael Concepcion Fight Result: Montiel wins by 3rd round TKO
Montiel once again proved his abilities after beating Concepcion hours ago via 3rd round TKO. Now it’s time for promoters to setup a fight between Donaire and Montiel. Being a Filipino, I’d definitely route for Donaire but after seeing Montiel fight his last 3,4 or 5 fights, Man! Montiel is definitely someone to be scared of in his weight division. Yes, Montiel was definitely beaten by Z Gorres years back but then still he was gifted a win via decision (a fight which should’ve been a win by Z Gorres). After that fight, Montiel definitely came back with vengeance and he really improved his skills. I love seeing those double hooks he throws to the head and body (they’re definitely paralizing!). A Donaire and Montiel fight is something to be excited about by boxing fans! I’d definitely love to see this fight more than a rematch between Cotto and Pacquiao. This would be the toughest fight for both fighters! Donaire would surely use his height, speed and reach advantage while battle-tested Montiel would use his power and experience to catch and hurt Donaire. I’d give Nonito a slight edge because of his speed and height. Definitely, some of those lightning quick punches would catch Montiel’s face or body. If you’ll look at the two fighters, you would think that Donaire is quicker but if you look closely, Montiel’s hands are also quick. Donaire might be quicker on his feet but Montiel has same handspeed as Nonito or even a split second faster. Montiel’s hand speed are almost comparable to Juan Manuel Marquez’s hand speed. They almost have the same style – they don’t show much foot movement but they’re both quick with their hands and their both counterpunchers. So boxing fans, brace for this fight and let’s hope that it happens. We’ve are now being deprived of the fight between the two greatest boxers – Pacquiao and Mayweather. Hopefully, promoters wouldn’t steal this Donaire-Montiel fight from us fans! Also to the fighters, no chicken run please! Peace!

This was one of those rare mornings that has ever been. Every morning, as soon as my eyes open, I grab my Ipod to check out the latest news in Pacland! Well, it’s just a surprise that the site is down because of too much connections! It redirects to another websites and it shows an error: “Too many connections”. Well, it then came into my mind that perhaps, millions of people have been waiting for the news! What is it? Then I remembered, it was the date of the deadline given by Bob Arum to Floyd Mayweather to sign the contract. Perhaps many people are anticipating whether he would sign the deal or not. Well guess what, it’s been hours after the deadline but Mr. Mayweather was a no show as expected. Do you think Mayweather would just come in and sign the contract upon Bob Arum’s request? Of course he wouldn’t! It would just show that he fell into Bob Arum’s trap! That’s not the way, Mayweather’s mind works. He loves to play mind games and he always wanted to win. As much as I wanted this fight to happen, it just seems that things are getting tougher and tougher for both camps to come up with a deal.
It just gets frustrating for the fans! I can’t think of anyone else that both of these guys have to fight other than themselves. On the news they’re saying that Pac should fight Cotto or Margarito if Mayweather ducks. Let me tell you what, there’s no one else Pacquiao should fight next to prove his legacy. Perhaps the closest to him is Floyd but the rest are far from what he has achieved. The fight proposed on November between Pac and Margarito/Cotto ain’t nothin’. It’s just some sort of money making. Beating both of those guys wouldn’t add much to the Pac’s legacy! What else can we do, but again to expect! We’re just fans and all we can do is to expect the worst and hope for the best that the fight of the century takes place.

Last Sunday was not quite a good day for Philippine Boxing. Thanks too Nonito “The Flash” for saving the day. I screamed in awe when I saw Bernabe Concepcion hit JuanMa flush in the jaw. I simply thought that it would be a turn around of events after Concepcion has been battered in the first round. In the second round it just showed that there’s really no chance of Concepcion beating the Monster JuanMa. It was an expected result though but I just thought that he’d get lucky. Almost Bernabe… Almost!
Another fight that day that turned disappointing was Eden Sonsona’s fight with Jonathan Oquendo. I thought that Sonsona would get through all the way, but the opponent’s dirty tactics simply prevailed. It was such a disgust and this fighter should be banned from boxing or perhaps he shouldn’t be credited for the win. It was also bad officiating by the referee who was biased on his puerto rican bet. It’s such a shame!
Nonito’s moves was such a beauty watch. It showed all his masterful moves and it shows that he truly is one of the most talented fighters out there. It’s just time that he should be given more attention and he should be lined up for greater opponents to prove his skill. No doubt he’s a great fighter, but for him to seal his legacy, he must be given the opportunity to show these against top notch fighters. Hopefully Top Rank would give him more opportunities. Just imagine, a less skilled fighter like Berbabe would be matched against a top fighter like JuanMa. Concepcion was given a big break, while Nonito on the other hand with all these skills is not given a chance to fight highly skilled opponents. No doubt Bernabe has the skills, but he’s in no way comparable to the likes of JuanMa and Nonito.
