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!
