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.
