Newark?s Mike Concepcion Ready To Make Debut Tomorrow Night PhilBoxing.com Wed, 18 Apr 2012 Tomorrow night at the Robert Treat Hotel, Newark?s own light welterweight Mike Concepcion is anxious to step between the ropes and make his professional debut. Having started boxing at the age of 8 and coming from a strong boxing family, Concepcion established his ring presence early on. As an amateur Concepcion dominated on all levels, winning well over 100+ fights while suffering only 10 losses. His vast experience inside the ring will undoubtedly give him a strong advantage as he squares off against Dan Morales (0-4). ?I am looking forward to getting in there Wednesday night and getting it over with,? said Concepcion. ?I want to get in there and fight, and get that first win?then continue on.? Nowadays more often than not you see young amateur fighters winning a few fights and making the decision to turn pro, only to run into a wall and recognize their lack of experience. Concepcion?s team didn?t rush this decision, and allowed the young fighter to develop his strengths while receiving countless experience. The young fighter displays a calm and poise about him you expect to see seasoned in seasoned veterans. ?My trainers and my training, that?s what it?s about,? said Concepcion. ?That?s what helps keep me so calm inside the ring. I think I will be a better pro than amateur because of my style. Being calm allows me to pick my shots. In the amateurs you throw a lot of punches, and they all count on points. In the pro game, you win round by round. And they count body shots, which they don?t really do in the amateurs.? Trained by his father Angel, Mike is mentally and physically to explode onto one of the most stacked weight classes in boxing. Coming from a family of successful fighters, you would think Concepcion feels pressure on following in his brothers footsteps. ?Nah, I don?t feel any pressure. I just do my own thing; I?ve been doing it for so long, it?s all natural now. Once I get in the ring and throw the first punch, everything else on my mind goes out the window. I don?t think about anything else except me and him. Adaptability makes for great fighters. You have to be able to adapt to anything that is thrown at you in the ring. Some fighters watch videos so that they are ready for what their opponent might bring. But I train for every style, so regardless of regardless of what I face, I will be ready for it.? Going forward after his debut, Concepcion will look to remain active within the squared circle. ?I?d like to fight each month, or as much as I can,? said Concepcion. ?If I get a KO in a month, I might be able to get two fights that month.? Everything Concepcion has worked for since the age of 8 comes to the surface tomorrow night at the Robert Treat Hotel. The fast handed, heavy hitting light welterweight has the drive and determination to make a big impact in the boxing world, and is more ready than ever to get in there and throw hands. ?Lastly, I?d like to give a shot out to all of my trainers who have helped me get ready for this fight. Joe here at Ace?s Boxing?he?s a sick trainer, and they?ve all worked hard to get me ready for this fight.? Don?t miss Mike Concepcion as he steps between the ropes as a professional for the first time tomorrow night at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark. Doors to the exciting event open at 6:30 p.m. with the first bout at 7 p.m.  |
