Las Vegas, NV?Welcome to world stage Bernabe Concepcion! That was the sentiments from press row as boxing?s elite in the media world took notice to a new rising prospect in Concepcion. With the fall of A.J. Banal earlier that day in the Philippines, Concepcion took away a little of the nasty taste still being felt by fans who watched Banal?s heartbreaking defeat.
Concepcion performed a true boxing professional as he stopped the over matched Adam Carrera in just three rounds. Abe sized up his opponent in the first round. ?I was timing his punches because he?s tall and I didn?t know his style yet?, Concepcion, 26-1-1 (15 KOs), explained after his fight. And Carrera was trying to use his height and reach to kept the strong fighter at a distance.
?But when I knew I can take his punches, I knew I can break him down?, said Concepcion, who followed through on his game plan. Concepcion?s supreme strength and power became too much for Carrera. A hard body initially dropped Carrera and one more knockdown finished off the journeyman Carrera, 19-4 (8 KOs).
?Experience? was Concepcion?s assistant trainer, Aljoe Jaro, reaction to Abe?s knockout performance. Concepcion now knows what it feels like to succeed on an undercard of a huge boxing event. At 20 years old, Concepcion is only getting better and if he can maintain his discipline a world title will be in his future.
